Hart Fisher/Gerard Way part 2

FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS

And you thought the Steven Colbert/John Stewart/Conan O�Brien fight over who made Mike Huckabee was ridiculous and clearly could not happen in real life?

Enjoy Hart Fisher on how he made �My Chemical Romance” and �Umbrella Academy’s” Gerard Way. How he first published Way. And how Way is denying his work on Fisher�s books and will be punished by embarrassing exposures as a result!

I read those comics. You know, if I was Way, I�d deny it, too.

You know, no one remembers his work for the DC Paradox Press �Big Book Of…” series.

When asked about the doubling up without credit, Rich replied that he’d “have to read” an article in order to note it. Funny, the Shotgun articles come up as 1 and 2 if you Google “Hart Fisher and Gerard Way.”

Don’t worry, Rich, you’re not the only one reading:

Rolling Stone got in on it, too.

They at least linked to us.

Update 1: Rich really didn’t read the previously posted articles, and took offense to the tongue-in-cheek nature of this post. Never did ShotgunReviews mean to imply Rich lied about not reading the articles; he apparently just didn’t go into the story quite as much as Shotgun did.

Update 2: Pulp Secret decided to get in on the act, Jealous that Rich and Rolling Stone were getting all the attention:

25 February 2008

Remember, you read the story here first. Before Hart goes to Rolling Stone, TMZ, LA Weekly, Spin, & MTV with his story. It’s going to get dirty.
-Jeaux Janovsky, Pulp Secret Keeper

Someone posted with a time stamp of February 26, 7:43 am, correcting them of their claim, pointing out that the story, in fact, was HERE first. As of 5:50 pm February 26, Pulp Secret has not corrected the statement. Google is your friend, people.
