Netflix’s live-action hero series The Umbrella Academy is done, and the ending still hurts our hearts. It is highly unlikely that we will get a spinoff series. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything more to explore with the Hargreeves siblings. As we all know, The Umbrella Academy actually started as a Dark Horse Comics series written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. Now, the creative duo is teaming up with Dark Horse again for the long-awaited fourth volume, The Umbrella Academy: Plan B, and we have two awesome covers to reveal as well as more details about this six-issue story.
The Umbrella Academy: Plan B picks up after the events of Volume 3’s Hotel Oblivion arc from 2019. In that volume, we got a rather soft introduction to the mysterious Sparrow Academy. The plans for this volume have been in motion since 2020, and we’re so glad that it’s finally happening! Plan B will focus on the Sparrow Academy, another group of siblings who call Reginald Hargreeves their father. We met the Sparrow Academy in season three of the Netflix show, and, well, things didn’t go well for them. Their existence expanded this bizarre world in so many ways.
The “Plan B” part of the comic title also came up in the TV series’ third season. It refers to Reginald’s plan to reset the timeline to a yet another reality where he could control an outcome. He got into cahoots with Alison, who was really trippin’ hard all season anyway.
Here’s more about what the comic book series will explore:
After the mass release of The City’s greatest foes and the chaos that followed in Hotel Oblivion, the Umbrella Academy faces their most fearsome challenge to date–their other brothers and sisters. Known only as The Sparrows, they share a different connection to Sir Reginald Hargreeves and Mom. No one knows how to hurt each other more than family, and this powerful, ruthless brood will spare no brutality in favor of their sole objective—control and the obedient glare that comes with it.
Gabriel Bá shares of The Umbrella Academy: Plan B. “I haven’t felt this excited about our story since the early days of Apocalypse Suite. “This is Umbrella Academy at its finest.”
Meanwhile, Gerard Way notes, “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.”
The first of our two cover reveals for The Umbrella Academy: Plan B is illustrated by David Aja. It has, of course, a black umbrella to represent our fave siblings along with a few sparrows sitting on top. There’s a little splatter of poop on one side as a single sparrow tweets a tune. Lovely.
The second one, by Jill Thompson, has the comic versions of the Hargreeves siblings sitting in a nest as a giant sparrow swoops toward them. Both The Umbrella Academy: Plan B covers certainly hint that this new collective will be a pain in the butt. And, it will be interesting to see what the comics do with this storyline.
The Umbrella Academy: Plan B’s first issue will drop on June 11 and you can pre-order it for just $4.99 at a comic shop near you. It should soon hit the web for orders as well.
