Colder Than Ourselves.

Gerard Way's home life isn't anything to brag about. Sure, he had his lovely daughter to brighten his day, but his wife was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Bert McCracken is sheltered. His parents are kind, his siblings are well-behaved, and they're all highly religious. His friends are the only thing keeping him from going insane.

Both are looking for an escape, something to make their lives better.

Will they find the solution to all their problems inside of the comic store?
