The subject of the double page spread is the main coverline and image on the front cover. This is conventional to a magazine, because the main coverline should be the biggest article within the magazine itself. The article itself is about the bands journey from their 'emo' image when they first started to their new image which Gerard Way describes as 'pop-art'.
The writing is all in columns, and there are images to support the text (one of their fans at a gig, and another of the lead singer, as he is the person who is being interviewed). The font is very small.
There are two other features in the two pages; A timeline of the singer's image over the years (which supports overal content of the article) and MCR's new album's rating at the bottom of the page.
The vocabulary is pretty simple, and words that people who are interested in music are used. Expletives are left in, which is typical of the 'rock' image (supporting the content).
The tone of the article is colloquial, which ensures an easy read. This shows that it is aimed at any reading ability who enjoys music.
