Years ago, the Killjoys fought against the tyrannical megacorporation Better Living Industries, costing them their lives, save for one—the mysterious Girl. Today, the followers of the original Killjoys languish in the Desert while BLI systematically strips citizens of their individuality. As the fight for freedom fades, it’s left to the Girl to take up the mantle and bring down the fearsome BLI! Collects The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #1–#6 and “Dead Satellites” from Free Comic Book Day 2013.
"It's official. Buy into the hype. Killjoys is killin' it. The power team of Gerard Way and Becky Cloonan show their chops in both writing and art, entwining their respective talents to create something great." - Newsarama
"The writing for this whole series has always been interesting and unique, something that I really enjoy. I mean it. This issue is no exception. It quick, witty, and super exciting, something that I can say really makes a different in this type of comic." - Unleash the Fanboy
"This is a grand story that, while ultimately rather simple, stands as shoulder-to-shoulder with the great teenage disillusionment stories of the past. This is the rage of a generation focused through Gerard Way's music and told as a story and it really works. The whole creative team, from Gerard Way and Shaun Simon to Becky Cloonan and even to Dan Jackson's colours and Nate Piekos' letters, have come together to tell a story that deserves to be recognised among the greats." - Multiversity
"'The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' was an exciting combination of 'American Graffiti', 'The Road Warrior', and a My Chemical Romance record. It really speaks to a generation while providing an excellent bit of sci-fi without getting preachy. I certainly look forward to the next projects from this creative team as they are all superstars that are definitely going places." - ScienceFiction.com
"Killjoys was a fantastic miniseries that evokes a world unlike anything else that hit the stands in 2013. The team of Way, Simon, and Cloonan have created a truly original American manga that oozes with style with every page." - Bloody Disgusting
"As a symbol-heavy, go-all-out series, True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is an easy-to-consume, joy-to-read treat." - Comic Book Resources
"Familiarity with My Chemical Romance's Danger Days album adds a certain depth to the story, but the comic is still a good read without it. It's a testament to Way, Simon, and Cloonan's storytelling ability that the vibrant world of the Killyjoys retains the musical quality of its origins while doing something uniquely refreshing." - IGN
