Dr. Terminal's Answer

The reunited Umbrella Academy launches into action to combat a robot crime spree and investigate a string of murdered violinists, all while trying to prevent the apocalypse. Meanwhile, the team’s missing member–their powerless sister–slips further through the cracks, and into the very heart of a plot to destroy the world.

Issue three begins with a flashback from the Rumor, where she’s caught in a daze remembering a childhood moment, being held captive by Dr. Terminal. She’s snapped back to reality by Spaceboy, and she fades back to the current situation—a burning carnival.

The Terminaunts which had activated last issue have been wreaking havoc upon a children’s fair, and Space, Rumor, and Seance are fighting to rescue the children. In a cab nearby, Vanya is rushing to the scene, although she is later turned down and rejected by a furious Kraken. Meanwhile, number 00.05 is being tested by Doctor Pogo, watching the news on a television. Suggesting to begin searching for clues on how close the Apocalypse may be, he leaves Pogo and his “mother” and takes off.

It would be important to note that within the brief moment Vanya actually made it to the fair, she was nearly destroyed by a terminaunt missile but saved by the Kraken, who took that opportunity to yell at her, rather venerably, to “get lost,” because she had left them once already. There is implication that the Terminaunts are destroyed, and the super-team agree that this is only a minor scratch compared to what is coming, ending the adventure. In the Icarus Theater, however, Vanya enters glumly, and, accepting the pitiful loneliness she is about to take on, requests to join the Orchestra Verdammten.

The book is finished with a small table of amusement park injuries, followed by the weekly Letters to the Editor section.
