Publisher's note

In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who'd previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children; when asked why, his only explanation was, "To save the world." These seven children form The Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower, piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again.

Annotation

This book collects the six-issue APOCALYPSE SUITE of My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way’s first comic, THE UMBRELLA CLUB. With no smaller ambition than to save the world, a wealthy "inventor" (no spoiler here, but things are rarely as they first appear) adopts seven children spawned in a series of immaculate conceptions. This unlikely family, known as the Umbrella Academy, consists of superpowered superheroes who begin their world-saving duties at the age of 10 fighting a zombie robot. Fast forward approximately 10 years and Spaceboy, the Kraken, the White Violin, the Séance, the Rumor, the Horror, and the Boy--who disconnected and scattered--must retool and team up for another action-packed adventure.
