The Umbrella Academy

More than twenty years ago, forty-three extraordinary children came into the world. Seven of them survived and were adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Years will pass, and they will become the famous Umbrella Academy, an incredible team with superpowers whose mission is to save the entire world.

However, this story is not about their childhood, but about what happened later, much later. The famous former lead singer of the band My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way, and Brazilian comic artist Gabriel Bá (Daytripper, Casanova, De:TALES) will tell us not just another story of world-saving superheroes. First of all, these are truly amazing and unique superheroes, and secondly, this book focuses on their relationships and inner experiences, issues of conscience, and life purpose, rather than their ability to fly or fight killer robots.

This edition includes two books: "The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite" and "The Umbrella Academy: Dallas." The second book is much cooler than the first, but without the first you won't understand why the second one is so great. However... they are both amazing; there is everything: a zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel, a giant animated statue of Abraham Lincoln, killer music, the most dangerous assassins of all time who wear cartoon masks and love cookies from Girl Scouts. And of course, the world will be destroyed.

Sounds exciting? Then this book is for you.

By the way, it also received a bunch of awards, including the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series.
