false 2795053 5 Gerard Way, of My Chemical Romance, makes his comics writing debut in this outrageous superhero epic that Grant Morrison called "An ultraviolet psychedelic sherbet bomb of wit and ideas. The superheroes of the 21st century are here at last..." 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 2820826 16 7 2008 The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: Apocalypse Suite total:762|5:227|4:285|3:179|2:55|1:16| 762 2938 1030 163 5 1 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 08:20:57 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 08:21:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Aug 19 07:09:03 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 07:09:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Jan 04 11:06:55 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 11:13:49 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jul 22 00:02:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 00:06:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jun 05 13:50:39 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 04 07:41:28 -0800 2008
