History Comicbook / FallOutToyWorks

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Gravity Welles.

The entire comic through Atomeka Press in webcomic format [[http://fallouttoyworks.keenspot.com/d/20120326.html through Keenspot]] and in individual issue format [[https://www.graphitecomics.com/t/QR22kmFZw4 through Graphite Comics]]. Issues 1-5 were compiled into a trade paperback with bonus material. Individual issues of the comic were available through Comixology (with issue one for free)[[note]]Both the webcomic version, Graphite Comics version, and the trade paperback include a few additional pages in issue 1, but don't include the final page of issue 5. The webcomic version also has logoless/textless cover pages and doesn't include issue 1's stinger. Issue 1's stinger remains in the trade paperback.[[/note]] but are mysteriously unavailable. Individual print issues and the trade paperback are no longer in print with no current plans for reprints or digital sales.

* BilingualBonus: Some of the various Los Angeles street signs and Gravity's dialogue can be this way for anyone fluent in Japanese. Those who are paying attention to Toymaker gambling in issue 1 will notice he's actually in a Korean bar, complete a Jinro soju sign, a guy cursing "shibal", and the Toymaker excitedly exclaiming "assa" while playing with hwata cards. In issue 5, among the English and Japanese Christmas greetings in the city, there's also some in Indonesian and Russian.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While the webcomic version is still available to read (for now), anyone looking for print and digital versions of the comic will have to dig a little more. The digital versions are no longer available from Comixology and while you could probably find the individual issues and the trade paperback in comic stores and from used book sellers, the series is no longer in print. There's been no comment from anyone involved about future reprints.

A Motion Comic adaptation is currently in DevelopmentHell. If and when it does get released, it'll feature the voices of Patrick Stump (as the Toymaker), Pete Wentz (as Crybaby), Creator/AnnaFaris (as Tiffany), and Jaime King (as Gravity Welles). DevelopmentHell isn't new for Fall Out Toy Works as in its initial run, the releases for the last three issues took much longer than expected due to the writer being in a coma and Fall Out Boy going on break around the end of the series run. Ouch. The series was intended to expand further into a multimedia franchise with toys, fashion, and animated movies, with only the fashion component really being deilvered on.

* AllThereInTheManual: A good portion of background info merely glossed over in the comic (Baron's rise to power, the Toymaker's previous involvement in an anti-Baron smuggling operation/art collective, the Second Industrial Revolution, etc.) was mentioned on the comic's minisite. The section the information was included on has been broken for a matter of years. [[http://hypebeast.com/2009/8/fall-out-toy-works-issue-1 A portion of the info on the minisite]] was made available in a promotional article, but it only focuses on the Second Industrial Revolution and Baron's rise to power.

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him Toymaker]]: Hoo boy. The comic synopsis for the second issue said his actual name was Jasper and one of the data files Mr. Moth brings up in the fourth issue has his name as [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep "Chris Toymakeras"]]. [[spoiler: The final page of the final issue reveals his name is actually Alistair and brings up the possibility of his last name actually ''being'' Toymaker.]]

** Baron's [[http://cdn.fallouttoyworks.keenspot.com/comics/fotw20120502.jpg "phone with personality"]] has the appearance of [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] with wings and [[Film/DragonballEvolution brown hair]].

A five issue ComicBook miniseries written by Brett Lewis (co-writer of the ''Film/BulletProofMonk'' comic and writer of The Winter Men) and with art by Imaginary Friends Studios. The initial concept was created by FallOutBoy bassist/lyricist/frontman Pete Wentz with illustrator Nathan Cabrera and fashion designer Darren Romanelli.

After a rough start, the robot [[{{Fembot}} Tiffany]] (named after an old song called [[FallOutBoy "Tiffany Blews"]]) is activated. She needs to experience life in order for her programming to function properly. Baron, being the dominating figure that he is, won't be having any of that. Tiffany is implanted with other people's memories, averaged out to maintain a balance. On top of the Toymaker dealing with a failing factory and a robot going through an existential crisis living with a man she might not even want to love comes another complication...[[PygmalionPlot The Toymaker has fallen in love with his creation]]. She might just feel the same. With Tiffany caught in the middle of the Toymaker and the Baron, who ''won't'' come out worse for wear?

With a story that explores WhatMeasureIsANonHuman, the [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove nature of love]], whether or not love is any less real if it's programmed (into a human OR a robot), and a very, ''very'', [[GainaxEnding weird ending]], Fall Out Toy Works manages to be nothing (yet everything) one would expect from a comic book based on FallOutBoy. Much like ''Theatre/MyFairLady'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Film/BladeRunner'', but [[MindScrew weirder]].

* RobotKid: Crybaby is a boy robot in a bear suit pulled straight out of the cover art for FallOutBoy's ''Folie a Deux''. They also don't call him "Crybaby" for nothing.

* ShoutOut: As expected with a comic based on a FallOutBoy song, there are FOB lyric references galore (most obviously to "Tiffany Blews"). Most obscure reference would have to be to their debut EP with issue 2's title: "My Evening Out with Your Girlfriend",

* GenreSavvy: Mr. Moth lampshades Toymaker's HesBack moment and one of his sassier GenreSavvy moments during the Toymaker and Baron's final showdown [[spoiler: leads to him getting killed by the Baron]].

** One of Baron's MechaMooks in the beginning of issue four takes to the roof of the zeppelin to [[{{Eagles}} tend to]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_California_%28song%29 his colitas]]. "Tiffany-twisted", indeed.
