Following the wrapping-up of the Netflix series last year, it has been announced that a whole new Umbrella Academy story is coming in the summer.
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way has once again teamed up with Gabriel Bá and Dark Horse Comics for the next instalment of the tale: The Umbrella Academy: Plan B. With the first issue out on June 11, it’s set to pick up “directly after the events of Hotel Oblivion”, according to Dark Horse, and will see the Academy facing “their most fearsome challenge to date – their other brothers and sisters”.
“Telling this story with Gabriel would become, as it is today, such a special part of my life,” says Gerard. “This is not only because we would evolve as artists – but because we had the opportunity to grow up over a pretty crazy adventure together.
“Each chapter of this story seems to form and coalesce into its own organism – sometimes as a screaming baby on a subway car, other times a bird kicked out of its nest – and it’s because of this I am just as excited for Plan B as I was when we went on this trip together with Apocalypse Suite.”
“I haven’t felt this excited about our story since the early days of Apocalypse Suite,” agrees Gabriel. “This is Umbrella Academy at its finest.”
