jonathan.weiner: Mikey Way | Los Angeles | 2014 | I haven’t seen @mikeyway in quite a while but we always seem to cross paths every few years | This is from an editorial we shot when he was promoting his side project after @mychemicalromance broke up | We combined tungsten 2k’s with @profotousa strobes and a long shutter for this effect |

mikeyway: It is with great honor that I introduce to you, the newest member of our family- Ms. Kennedy James Way! Only a few days old, and already she has stolen my heart

I don’t get it to be honest, please, help

mikeyway: The time has finally come where I can share something I’ve been working on for the past couple of years! Keeping this one a secret has been hard, as I’m beaming with excitement about this project. I want to present to you Collapser!! The next wave of @dccomics Young Animal has been unleashed on the world. I am honored to say that my story (with one of my best friends Shaun Simon!) will be part of this wave. Coming out July 17th! Also wanted to take a second to thank @jimlee and @gerardway for this opportunity! And @iliaskyriazis for making our visions for Liam and the Collapser world come to life! #dccomics#younganimal #collapser #comics

In advance of Collapser’s announcement, Paste chatted with Simon and Way to learn more about their long friendship, tackling mental health via superpowers and why Collapser protagonist Liam sports a pea coat.

Collapser, an entirely new concept separate from the shared DC Universe, finds Gerard Way’s brother and former MCR bandmate Mikey Way co-writing alongside The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys scribe Shaun Simon, with G.I. Joe: First Strike artist Ilias Kyriazis on interiors.
