The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite #1

The Umbrella Academy arrives in 2007 with a cover by James Jean that frames the Eiffel Tower as a brooding centerpiece, surrounded by a striking ensemble of masked and black-clad young figures alongside a pale, goggle-eyed elder — all rendered in a moody palette of deep reds and blacks that perfectly sets the tone for a story titled "The Day the Eiffel Tower Went Berserk." Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá bring an eccentric, gothic superhero family to Dark Horse Comics, and Jean's painterly composition makes it immediately clear this isn't your standard team book. If you're looking for something with genuine atmosphere and style to spare, this first issue announces itself with quiet confidence.
