Chronicle During Books The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: The Apocalypse Suite (The Umbrella Academy #1)
In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born to women who'd previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children; when asked why, his only explanation was, "To save the world." These seven children form the Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower, piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again. Collecting: The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite 1-6, as well as out-of-print short stories and an expanded sketchbook section featuring work by Gabriel Bá, James Jean, and Gerard WayPresent Books Toward The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: The Apocalypse Suite (The Umbrella Academy #1)

I didn't love this... which is a shame because I like Gerard Way.I bought this about 6 months ago and I just started reading it when my coworkers started talking about the Netflix show. I like the art, for the most part. I just wished it'd been a tad more dramatic when the characters were having arguments. The premise is pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for superhumans and teams made up of different personalities and abilities. Where this lost me was the writing, sorry to say. I like the plotI really liked it but i like i just like the show a lot better

"Our souls are tainted...painted black by the very deeds that make us so wonderfully individual..." Dark yet hopeful, sinister and yet has a hint of innocence, cruel yet witty, full of love and hate, music, family, neurosis, heros that hate, villains that love, aliens, robots, superheros, war, the eiffel tower, the end of the world, and a full orchestra. This isn't just a comic book, this is an accumilation of a lifetime of talent and pain. If i had not known that Gerard Way had written this
The art, the story...shitting my pants.World: The art, what can I said about Ba's art, it's stylish, it's beautiful, it's melancholy and small and intimate...and then guts and blood fly everywhere. It's just so beautiful. I loved his work in the Mignolaverse and I love it here. Those splash pages, soooo good. The world building is phenomenal, it's doesn't hand hold, it's doesn't info dump, but rather just pulls the reader into the world and let's them see and learn about the world and characters
Great concepts, lousy execution.The Umbrella Academy is a seemingly-random collection of plot points stapled haphazardly together in a garbled attempt at creating a story. The attempt fails. Rarely has so little been communicated in so many panels.43 babies are suddenly born to random non-pregnant women. The seven survivors are adopted and raised by a wealthy inventor who is an alien. His alienness is immediately set aside and forgotten. At age 10 the heroic children do battle with the
