Lots of artwork for James' extensive designs of the "Black Parade" album by My Chemical Romance.  Everything about this project is impressive.  While Gerard Way had a very focused vision of what he wanted as far as the artwork was concerned, its nice to see that the artwork still looks and feels like a James Jean creation.  Obviously, this speaks to the success of the collaboration, and James' ability to flesh out Gerard's concepts in his own unique style.  The artwork alone is reason enough to buy the album.
