Faced with an increasing number of lunatics with superpowers eager to face off with his own wunderkind brood, Sir Reginald Hargreeves developed the ultimate solution … Now, just a few years after Hargreeves's death, his Umbrella Academy is scattered. Number Five is a hired gun, Kraken is stalking big game, Rumor is dealing with the wreckage of her marriage, a rotund Spaceboy runs around the streets of Tokyo, Vanya continues her physical therapy after being shot in the head-and no one wants to even mention Seance until issue #2. With a Netflix series soon to debut, the award-winning and best-selling superhero series returns, stranger than ever- And their past is coming back to hunt them.

Reviews


Being the review of the first issue in close to 10 years.



With Umbrella Academy coming to Netflix next year, you'd forgive Gerard Way if he provided a recap of 'The Apocalypse Suite' and 'Dallas' so that new reader can get up to speed.


He doesn't. Nah-nah!


Both are excellent (Apocalypse in particular) and well worth your time and hard earned money. You'll need them if you're going to have even a hint of what's going on and why. I'm sure that will sort out by the end, but for now, pretend this is issue #7 of Dallas and it came out 6 months late.


In general, if you think the X-Men should be cooler, more aloof, filled with dark whimsy and monkey bodies, finding a mix between unbearable darkness and colorful quirks, with perpetual visual inventiveness even in 'boring' hotel scenes, you'll enjoy this title. A higher grade is possible when we have the full story, but for now, this is for what it is.
