The Day the Eiffel Tower Went Berserk last edited by Roekon on 01/27/19 10:19AM View full history

    Overview

    Once, the Umbrella Academy was unstoppable. Under the tutelage of their guardian and mentor, Dr. Reginald Hargreeves, its members spent their childhoods fighting evil and honing their extraordinary gifts.

    Until something went terribly wrong.

    Now, nine years later, the estranged members of the Umbrella Academy are reunited by the death of the only parent they've ever known and the rise of a new and terrible threat. Will they be able to overcome their history for long enough to save the world-one more time?

    Conceived and written by Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance), Umbrella Academy features interior art by Eisner Award-nominated artist Gabriel Ba (De:Tales), colors by Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, and covers by multiple-Eisner Award-winning painter James Jean (Fables).

    The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite #1 - The Day the Eiffel Tower Went Berserk by universal_mind on November 01, 2007

    Gerard Way (MCR) hit it off with this comic-I did not know what to expect but I read a article in Wizard mag and found it worth checking out. The story leads into the series with some back round that leave a heap of questions. The characters are really not likeable but grow on U. Clearly there is a sibling rivalry and it will be a focal point in the series. U get a insight on what their powers and how they were trained. Their (prof. X)/father figure-the Monocle- is a complete opposite (prof. X) ...

    So I'm a bit late to the party, but figured I'd give my two cents about a comic I've heard about in whispers across comic shops.  Keep in mind I haven't read any other issues beyond this one, so my familiarity with the characters is limited and I may not be giving the series a fair shot based on one first issue.  That said, I expected more than what I got.  Umbrella Academy has a cool name, a cool logo, and what seems to be a dark and ominous start.  A group of kids were all born at the same tim...
