MTV Shows "There's always been a thing with punk rock bands and comics," Bono told MTV News. "It's always been there. Even The Ramones, who are also from Queens like Peter Parker and Mary Jane, they covered the theme to Spider-Man." "It goes all through not just rock and roll culture, [but] all through modern art," he continued. "You see it in Roy Lichtenstein's work, the pop artists' work, they all sample from comics." "[The show] is like a graphic novel, but a three-dimensional one," he said. "I'm calling it a pop-up, pop-art opera... because I'm pretentious. Julie's calling it what?" "I think she's calling it a rock-and-roll circus drama," said The Edge. "We don't really know what to call it, because there are so many aspects to it," he explained. "A great night out. I think that's what it is." "It is elements of rock and roll, it's elements of circus, it's elements of opera and musical theater," said The Edge. "It is so many different things, and when we started the process, we promised we'd do something that hasn't been done before. And I think we've managed to do that."
