10 My Chemical Romance fan art pieces to come out of the reunion
My Chemical Romance are officially back in action, and all is right with the world. On Friday, the band returned after a six-year hiatus for an unforgettable reunion show at Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
They had a career-spanning setlist in a show that definitely lived up to the hype. The entire reunion was so emotional for many of us in the scene, so some MCR fans showed their appreciation for the reunion with some fan art.

1. This drawing inspired by the band’s generosity toward their fans
Noite da véspera do show do retorno do MCR. Os integrantes da banda vão até a fila dos fãs, acampados, dormindo na fila, e oferecem cobertores pra eles não passarem frio ao relento no inverno de Los Angeles.

On the night before the MCR reunion show, the band gave blankets to fans sleeping outside the Shrine. Comic book artist Fábio Moon (and brother to The Umbrella Academy illustrator Gabriel Bá) was so touched by this action that he decided to draw the scene for people to enjoy.
