Creator Spotlight: Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba & Intro to The Umbrella Academy

Send us a text

Welcome to another season of Stories Arcs! In this zero episode, Mike and Alex take a look at Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba, the creators behind the Dark Horse comic The Umbrella Academy. They discuss how Gerard Way's previous day job (being an internationally-famous rock star) may have colored they opinion of the book before ever reading it and how those preconceived notions were quickly proven false. They also praise the work of Gabriel Ba and Greatest Comic Colorist of All Time(tm) Dave Stewart, who really make the comic sing. If you only know The Umbrella Academy from the Netflix adaptation, now's the perfect time to dive into the original story.

Hit up your local comic shop or public library for The Umbrella Academy: The Apocalypse Suite and join us back here next week to jump right into the discussion!
