Gerard,
You have more talent than any of the other illistrators I have ever seen. It is increadble. The umbrella academy is a work of fucking art. You’ve got all of my friends reading it. We love it.
With all due respect,

scout 10.17.07 at 10:14 am
i dontknow about you, but im tired of people posting,”OMFG!! GeE IS to TALENTED!!! HE CAN DRAW SO GOOD!”
okay there are 3 things wrong with this,
1.) dont capitalize things that werent meant to be capitalized.
2.) you’re just another fan girl
3.) gerard didnt even illustrate the series!! get your facts right!
Vita 10.21.07 at 6:54 pm
Scout, I cannot thank you enough for writing that. It gets sickening after a while. What is the world (or just America) coming to?

stop screaming
they just dont get it! <_<
Luke 01.11.08 at 12:45 am
Lol, you fangirls are funny.
I must admit, I had higher expectations for the first issue. Gerard’s always been a theatrical person, and it seems like he always wants to start things off with a BANG!
However, after reading the first issue, I was left confused, unsure, and a little worried if the rest of it would be like this.
Needless to say, Gerard and Gabriel came through. The artwork is, needless to say, cleanly messy, and Gerard’s story-telling weaved together to make perfect sense. I reread the first issue, and now that I get almost everything, I can relax and enjoy it a bit more.
All I can say now is that I can’t wait until I can get my hands on more issues. I really need to find a comic book shop in my town. And anyone who seems unsure of whether to read it or not, read it. Not because it’s made by ‘oh ehm gee GERARD of My CHEM RoManCe!’, but because the story’s unique, which shows as a reflection from MCR’s music, the artwork is nice, and overall, it’s a good comic book series.
Though you won’t read this, very nice job guys >.o
Kitti ^-^ 01.28.08 at 7:50 pm
<3 the book.
It’s amazing.
I’d write more but I’m like sick(so says gerard (no not Gerard Way)) and dying on the keyboard.
But anyways.
It’s amazing (as already said)
And I can’t wait for the next one.

deadtreekid 02.23.08 at 9:46 pm
alright, i’ll admit i only picked up this comic b/c i’m a huge mcr fan, but why is everyone praising way on his music and apparent sex appeal when this blog is supposed to be about the comic? O_o
i really enjoyed this series from what i’ve read so far. my comic shop only had 1, 2, and 5 (because that makes so much sense) so i have to wait for the other three to be ordered. it sucks, because i love the story and want to read more, but if i read 5 now it’ll screw everthing up… grr…
so, recap, blog about comic, not blog about gerard and his band. kthxbi

Rachael 06.04.08 at 8:01 pm
Wow what can I say…. I’m speechless, there is nothing I can say or do to tell you how amazing you and your comics are. But what I can say to you is that I’m not just another fan and I’m not just another girl that leaves thousands of ! on you page either. I respect you guys and I’m NOT obsessed. I just love art and I have been working my fingers to the bone just to get to where you guys are right now. Of course the way I work is NOTHING IN COMPARISON to what you guys do for us. I could even say thank you soooo much a billion or even a trillion times, and cannot or will not ever let you guys know how much this is for me. And boy did I go through everything to tell you guys what this work of art means to me, and now I finally got to tell you.
Thank You so very very much for this!
(Dang, everything feels so…. so unsaid)
You guys are something else…. no really.

Nib 07.08.08 at 1:27 am
WoW! What an awsum comic book! Gabriel Ba is such an amazing artist and Gerard Way has such creative ideas! I must admit that i only bought the comic because of Gerard Way, but i’m so glad I did! I wish I could find more comic books with this dark gothic style. This series really inspired me to do more with my art and maybe evn have a career in comics.
thanxs for the comic guys, I hope theres plenty more to come!

Tosha 07.08.08 at 9:32 pm
I was wondering if anyone knows when the next comic signing is for The Umbrella Academy? I realy want to get mine signed (:
Clan Destine 07.09.08 at 12:53 pm
There are none scheduled at the present time that we are aware of. Thank you for your interest. Come back often.
geefrankieraybob&mikeysavedme 07.13.08 at 12:33 pm
I don’t get why everyone is cussing on here , why can’t people Love something without feeling obligated to speak like that?I Love My Chemical Romance too , but it’s in a way that I don’t think most people can match because their music really did save my life , which in turn gave me the strength to carry on and even to stand up to things and be out spoken about my opinion to things that I think are wrong.so all I have to say is that for one , you should be a little more than embarassed about that language , and two Thank MCR for what they’ve done not Brag about it like it’s some great feat for you.THANK YOU MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE FOR WRITING & COMPOSING THE MUSIC THAT TRULY DID SAVE MY LIFE.
Tosha 07.17.08 at 7:16 pm
So if there was an Umbrella Academy signing how would I be able to know, is there a thing that I can sign up for so it will be sent to me on my e-mail to when and where the signing be.

the umbrella academy is amazing. its such a interesting,abstract, but creative story. i dnt have all of them yet since i lost track of when they came out, n then the comic book store didnt have it blah blah blah. so im planning on getting the book that has all the stories (: gerard is such an amazing writer and i love the story. the artwork is AMAZING i love it. dont stop makin comics! <3
Elisa(: 07.31.08 at 12:38 am
ok, this isnt a MCR comment page, its for THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY. so what if gerard is in a band? thats the only reason your on this site? write something about the comic, not about how MCR saved your life. save that for their website.

Kinny 09.02.08 at 4:36 pm
I got the graphic novel on the 1st September (soft cover). I was so pleased with myself. Have you any idea how difficult it is to find The Umbrella Academy anywhere in Greater Manchester (that’s in England n00b)?
Now I’ve finished reading it, it’s doing a cycle of my friends: Abi, Gemma, Beth, Cathy, Lindsey (lol, I know), Sam (guy Sam)… Then I get it back.
I have to say, the character I like most is The Seance. He’s sort of like me: morbid but in a hyper, I don’t give a damn way… and he’s cute. (No-one else agrees with me on that point… *sigh* Silly, Silly insignificant people).
I do like My Chemical Romance’s music, but the main reason that I wanted to read it was because I’m a grpahic novel freak. I’m obsessed with The Sandman Chronicles (Neil Gaimen, and REALLY good if anyone wants to know. Go read one, right now, or you’ll regret not doing so), and I was tol that NG had given The Umbrella Acadmey a good review, so naturally I wanted to read it.
What I really want to know, is what happened to The Horror. I saw his drawing in “but the past ain’t through with you yet” and it made me smile. Especially with the fluffy Japanese monster toy. It’s just too cruel for him to be dead. You already killed Pogo and The Monocle. Kill someone horrible like 5. ( I could have throttled him for “I never liked you Vanya”).
Anyway, back to whatever it was I was saying before… I give it a thumbs up. Gerard Way has earned my respect for him as a writer (I was a bit doubtful at first. Bad Kinny).
It’s raining right now, and all I’m thinking about is: I hope Gemma didn’t get it wet. That would make me sad. My brother got one of my Sandmans wet; it stared at me tragically from the radiator for two days. The ink didn’t run though.
I feel really sorry for Gerard now though, thinking of all the stupid, fan girls comments and letters he’s going to get about it and “WHEN’S THE NEXT ONE?” notes.
Look people: Ifyou’re going to comment, CONSTRUCTIVENESS IS KEY. I am an aspiring writer, and you have no idea how irritating “I love it, more soon?” comments are. They suck. Flamers are another annoying thing. If you’re going to criticize, point out how they can improve.
Points for Gerard: 1. Explain The Horror. He confuses me.
2. 5 seems rather 2-D at the moment. Help.
3. Ignore any stupid fangirls teenie comments. They suck.
Onto V for Vendetta…

Hey. Just wanted to say that I greatly admire the work put into this comic and I’m totally getting nosebleeds just thinking about the next issues! :]
I greatly admire the work gone into it and it’s inspired me to get out there and make a comic of my own. Processing, processing… xD
Love.
Summer N.H. 10.03.08 at 11:22 am
Everything Gerard Way does he makes it Dark and funny 2 an extent… and It makes me love his style more! His wife must be the luckest chic in the world!!! Love Gerard n MCR allways.
~Summer~
Sasha the MCR freak 10.03.08 at 9:32 pm
well ive gotta be honest… ive never read the comic except like a preview on tfaw.com… but tua looks like an amazing comic! its unique in an overly awesome way… and what makes it even better is that it’s Gerards comic!!!! I love everyone that is apart of it… hey, if u have a myspace, add me…
go to myspace.com/itsmychemicalromance
anyways… even if i havent really gotten a chance to read the whole comic… its like the best thing ive ever read…
Rachel 10.22.08 at 1:55 am
hello,
OMGerard,
i loove the umbrella academy but i can’t find it in stores and my mum won’t let my buy it of the net.
man im anoyed. i really want a copy!
Rai t3h 4w3s0m3 10.22.08 at 1:05 pm
Uh, hey, people… this website was NOT created (or endorsed/affiliated) by Gerard. It even says so. While I DO agree with you that The Umbrella Academy & MCR are simply made of epic, I’m pretty sure you could say it in a more civilised way^^.
Thank you^^

Olivia 11.13.08 at 1:59 pm
OMG, i love The Umbrella Academy and My Chemical Romance even more. i was The Rumor (the uniform from when she was ten) for Halloween. I cannot wait til Dallas comes out. Oh yea, for everyone that wants to know where to get the comic, i got Apocalypse Suite at Hot Topic and i think that they sell just the issues there to. If not you could always try a comic book store. Bye-ee, Olivia (Elle) Romulus (Sutton)
Kat 11.13.08 at 5:23 pm
Hey- does anyone know what happens to ben?
and- in the scene with the rumor and terminal, rumors arm is cut off, but when she is older its there… WHAT?!
Just one more question. In the Appcalypse suite version of the book on the last page of chapter 4, on the bottom it says “answwer: an hourglass” whats the questiuon?!? I can’t find it!
Any help me please, im a huge fan of MCR and this seris.. .but im really confused!
Olivia 11.17.08 at 2:56 pm
Hey Kat,
The answer to your question about the question of the answer is : Two Bodies I Have, Though Both Joined In One, The Stiller I Stand, The Faster I Run. The question is on the picture when Vanya (The White Violin) says “–And Tomorrow We End The World.” They never did say how Ben (The Horror) was killed but i hope that they mention something about it in Dallas. K? Hope I Helped, Bye-ee, Olivia (Elle) Romulus (Sutton)

Number 5 fan 11.30.08 at 6:56 pm
The Umbrella Academy got me to walk into comic book stores again. I love Number 5 because he is a very mysterious character and I find that he is hiding something. I’d love to find out what that something is!
P.S. Those mugs are really cool! I love how they say “Thank You for the Coffee” on the inside. It made me laugh really hard!
P.P.S. MCR Rules!
Number 5 fan 11.30.08 at 7:01 pm
If you want to know where to get The Umbrella Academy, let me help!
I bought The Apocalypse Suite at Barnes and Noble. You can get The Apocalypse Suite at any bookstore that sells comic book books (If that makes any sense)
Also, the issuse can be found at any comic book store or online. They are also available, sometimes, ato Hot Topic as well.
Jacob Rasminhymer Davis 12.01.08 at 4:20 pm
Absolutely Fan-tastic. May 5, I read the Free Comic Book day issue, “…But time ain’t through with you.” and loved every god [damn] word and creative illustration. Working at a small comic book shop as my college job, I was the first to open every box of Wednesday pick-ups of the Umbrella Academy, first to buy them, then first to go on break to read the issue at hand. [Lame joke.] I just picked up my Apocalypse Suite Graphic novel, and being I was very impressed, I can’t wait till I can pull the next creative, playful, mesmerizing issue out of a Wednesday-pick-up box. Great work.
Julia :) 12.02.08 at 10:09 pm
Hey Gerard I think your comic book is amazing, and I don’t want this to seem like every other comment you get. My brother went to the local comic store and got the first comic for me, and now so far the first 6 hang on my wall
Also I have the patch on my back pack, and I have the pins somewhere in my room hahaha. But I used to be like really into comics, and every comic now a days are just manga, not saying they’re bad but they’re not great, and ever since your comic came I was back into liking comic books again. Thanks and I hope you keep doing what you love!
Much Loveeee,
Julia
Lorz-MCR 12.03.08 at 3:28 pm
Wow I LOVED the first series of TUA. I didn’t only get these comic books because im a huuuuuuuuge comic book fan..but yeah the main reason i spent almost all my savings to order these all the way from somewhere in New Jersey (I live in the UK) because they were written by Gerard Way. Don’t call me a fan girl or anything because I AM NOT by any means. He is an amazing singer and way too beautiful for his own good but I heard all the reviews and commment these series were getting and decided to see for myself. I thought the storyline was addicting almost immediatly after opening the first cover. The drawings and colors are perfect to fit the style of the comic book and the characters are totally unique and different. I thought The Umbrella Academy is probably the greatest superhero comic book I have ever read and I cannot WAIT for the second series to come out ANNNNNNND MCR’s new album. Amazing work to the guys xoxo
xian 12.08.08 at 12:53 pm
one of the most refreshing and off beat stuff i’ve read in years.
amazing artwork by gabriel ba! gerard way has a penchant for off center humor which really makes the umbrella academy quite special. the characters are all complex, never a dull moment.
keep up the good work guys!
becky 12.13.08 at 8:42 am
Hey Gerard you and Gabriel you guys have an amazeing imagination when i read it it fees real thats how a comic should feel- good job
P.S- Us MCR fans really miss u and you guy’s crazyness
Crissy 12.14.08 at 5:50 pm
Hey,I love you guys!The Unbrella Academy is my favorite comic book and My Chemical Romance is my favorite band.Congrats on the baby Gerard and Lindsey.I wish you guys good health and have all your dreams come true.
lindsey 12.16.08 at 12:56 pm
Man these people are funny to read!!!(if that makes any sense at all) But im sick of hering about mcr! It is my favorite band and it is the reson why i started reading these series, but the umbrella academy is a great all by itself!! The artwork is amazing!!! Im an artist, and i wish i could draw like gerard AND Gabriel so much and it bugs me that i can’t!!And even though i havn’t met the guy, gerard seems like such an imaginative person! I wish i could talk to him, just 1 conversation to talk about what he was thinking when he comes up with this stuff! The creativity blows my mind! And even though im alot younger than him i wish i could have at least 5% of the creativity this guy has! He is an amazing artist and i hope i can meet him one day!!!
the horror 12.16.08 at 1:04 pm
scout is write HELLO,(<just to bug him!) Gerard is an an extrodanary artist BUT,(for emphasis), Gabriel Ba drew the intire series! But one thing you need to get straight scout, GERARD IS A GREAT ARTIST!!, and if you don’t believe me just watch life on the murder scene you dumb ass!
JIM 12.17.08 at 10:07 pm
