The Umbrella Academy 1 - Neue Edition

The new edition of the extravagant superhero hit series - now in a larger format! Just in time for the series launch on Netflix! In an alternate reality where John F. Kennedy was never assassinated, a number of children with supernatural abilities are born. Seven of them are adopted and grow up together to one day save the world. They are the Umbrella Academy. With the help of their mentor, the wealthy inventor and secret alien Sir Reginald Hargreeves, the members of the Umbrella Academy fought evil for a long time during their childhood – but today, the chaotic patchwork family is broken, the team disbanded, and each has sought their own path. However, when Hargreeves suddenly passes away, the paths of the now-adult heroes cross once again. The successful comic by Gerard Way, lead singer of the US rock band My Chemical Romance, and artist Gabriel Bá. Awarded multiple Eisner Awards, including for Best Limited Series. The Umbrella Academy blends comic clichés, pop culture references, and a strong literary playfulness into a highly entertaining, postmodern superhero tale.
