Did not anticipate my first read of the year to heavily feature the Bury Your Gays Gays trope. I typically love what Gerard Way puts out (both his music and comics) but this really missed the mark for me. It's really a shame most of the characters were either awful or LGBT rep that is killed off for shock value. The world presented here (as first shown in the Danger Days album) is unique and filled with interesting dystopian/cyberpunkish ideas. I'll give the followup series a shot since I love the album so much, maybe by 2021 they moved away from such outdated handling of gay characters.
