At the age of 15, Way was held at gunpoint, as he said in an April 2008 Rolling Stone interview: “I got held up with a .357 Magnum, had a gun pointed to my head and put on the floor, execution-style.” He went on to say that “no matter how ugly the world gets or how stupid it shows me it is, I always have faith.”
Way attended Belleville High School until he graduated in 1995. Deciding to pursue a career in the comic-book industry,4 he attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1999.
