The Umbrella Academy #1

This debut volume collects the opening arc of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's Eisner Award-winning series, introducing the dysfunctional super-powered siblings of the Umbrella Academy as they reunite years after their unconventional upbringing under the eccentric Sir Reginald Hargreeves. The story blends dark humor, retro-futurist weirdness, and emotional weight as the estranged family must come together to prevent an apocalyptic threat. Bá's expressive, kinetic artwork perfectly complements Way's offbeat vision, and the arc was originally published under the subtitle 'Apocalypse Suite.'
