Previously, teased, the full length video for My Chemical Romance's "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" has just been released, featuring band members in a post-apocalyptic desert chase with a villain portrayed by Grant Morrison.

The clip was co-directed by frontman/writer Gerard Way and Roboshobo, and definitely seems to have been storyboarded by a mutant combination of Paul Pope and George Miller, featuring a storyline filled with ray guns, roller skating and vampires.
