Description

"Once, the Umbrella Academy was unstoppable. Under the tutelage of their guardian and mentor, Dr. Reginald Hargreeves, its members spent their childhoods fighting evil and honing their extraordinary gifts.

Until something went terribly wrong.

Now, nine years later, the estranged members of the Umbrella Academy are reunited by the death of the only parent they've ever known and the rise of a new and terrible threat. Will they be able to overcome their history for long enough to save the world—one more time?

Conceived and written by Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, The Umbrella Academy features interior art by Eisner Award-winning artist Gabriel Bá (De:Tales), colors by Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, and covers by multiple Eisner Award-winning painter James Jean (Fables).

    I’m giving the whole series a three stars cause the storyline is great but if the author would have wrote more about their personalities more about the backgrounds of the characters so people can relate it could have been amazing. It feels like the author got lazy or bored with the story and decided to finish it as soon as possible. So it ends up being so much more confusing then if it wasn’t written at all. I’m just a bit disappointed for paying for this series when I read complete comics for free (I become a patron and support the creators of good stories and graphics. )
