Line 1: {{work}} A comic book series written by Gerard Way of [[My Chemical Romance]] and drawn by Gabriel Bá from [[Dark Horse Comics]], irregularly published since 2007. One day, 43 extraordinary children were [[Bizarre Baby Boom\|all spontaneously born on the same day]]. Of these children, seven are adopted by the inventor (and space alien) Reginald Hargreeves and groomed into superheroes. However, Hargreeves does not prove to be a good father figure and his inability to give emotional warmth to the children, along his unwavering ambition to push them to their limits, inevitably scars them all as adults. In many ways ''[[The Umbrella Academy]]'' is both a [[Deconstruction]] and [[Affectionate Parody]] of Gold and Silver Age comics, joyfully embracing absurd and wonderful classics like talking monkeys and space squids while exploring the real psychological effects of being groomed from birth to be a hero in the care of a wealthy man of intrigue.

The main series takes place after Hargreeves's death where the team reunite at his funeral. There are currently two complete story lines ''The Apocalypse Suite'' and ''Dallas'' as well as a handful of one shot stories, all of which are now available on the internet. Has nothing to do with [[Resident Evil\|The Umbrella Corporation]]. A live action adaptation starring [[Elliot Page]] began to air in [[Netflix]] in 2019. {{tropelist}} Line 79 ⟶ 83: {{DEFAULTSORT:Umbrella Academy, The}} [[Category:Comic Books]] [[Category:Comic Books of the 2000s]] [[Category:Comic Books of the 2010s]]
