The Umbrella Academy

Oh and talk about Dark Horse Comics.....

I neglect to include in my previous post that Hellboy isn't my first Dark Horse comic I purchased. My first was The Umbrella Academy.

The Umbrella Academy is a superhero team created by a famous entrepreneur (who is an alien in disguise) with his adopted children. However the story unfolds after the team was disbanded and after their father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, died.

It's a kind of a Superhero Family Book. Think Fantastic Four except it's much more complex and definitely darker.

Here's the Myspace for Umbrella Academy

For those who are interested to who did the cover art:

It's James Jean. The one who also did Fables. Here's his blog (Contains Nudity):

I also neglect to mention that Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance wrote and create The Umbrella Academy?
