Gerard Way's The Umbrella Academy comic series is set to return
Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá reunite to continue their superhero comic series, pitting the Umbrella Academy against their rival siblings, The Sparrows.
Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá are set to continue 'The Umbrella Academy' comic book series with a new story titled 'The Umbrella Academy: Plan B', launching via Dark Horse Comics.
The series sees Way and Bá collaborating as co-writers, with Bá also providing illustrations. The first issue is scheduled for release on 11th June.
"Telling this story with Gabriel would become, as it is today, such a special part of my life. 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 it's a screaming baby on a subway car, other times a great big metal bird falling from the sky – and because of this, I am just as excited for 'Plan B' as I was when we went on this trip together with 'Apocalypse Suite'," Way explains.

The new story follows the events of 'Hotel Oblivion', with the Umbrella Academy facing their other siblings, known as The Sparrows, who share a different connection to Sir Reginald Hargreeves and Mom. Dark Horse Comics describe it as the team's most fearsome challenge to date.
The series follows the conclusion of the Netflix adaptation, which ended with its fourth season in 2024. Way is also set to tour with My Chemical Romance across US stadiums this summer, performing their album 'The Black Parade'.
