“I am in the jungle and I am too fast for you. You have teeth and stripes and things that tear.

But I am much too fast…

You want my flesh but you don’t know where the jungle is…Only I know where the jungle is…Only I know…

I am a gazelle.

I am a gazelle and the jungle is my home!”

one thing i really wanted to do with this blog, more for myself than anyone else, was build up a tag containing all the lovely comic fanart i used to see in the tags before the show came out, but since that was 2 years ago now and all tua stuff goes into the same tags most of it is so hard to find now, and i know there must be plenty i've never even seen. if anyone has any favorite fanart pieces for the comic, or you would like to share your own, please submit them to me (as long as you link to the op of a tumblr post because i won't repost from other sources.) i'll still be trying to find them myself as well and reblogging them here when i can :)

this blog is a place for struggling fans of gerard way and gabriel bá's 2007 comic series the umbrella academy to connect with each other and have our woes and criticisms of the current state of the franchise's impact on pop culture heard out. with the recent release of netflix's second season of the tv adaptation, there will be yet another boom in attention for the series, but those of us who have been with it a while recognize that the umbrella academy the world is now more familiar with is a very different creature than the one near and dear to our hearts. we're here to listen ☔︎

The Murder 🦇

(Hotel Oblivion spoilers!) Here’s my fanart for my favourite new Umbrella Academy character! We know very little about her, including not knowing her name or whether she turns into ravens or crows. She’s my favourite of the new Umbrella Academy. I made some minor design changes with her, though.

But here’s the name I pose: The Murder, because that’s the name for a group of crows. But if it’s ravens, then it should be The Conspiracy for the same reason. As for her actual name, I’m currently calling her Eleanor Nevermore. These are both references to Edgar Allen Poe’s works (the author of The Raven). It also just sounds cute together. So meet Eleanor!

I am way too in love with this character despite how little we’ve seen of them. I had a lot of fun drawing her and hope to see more of her in the future issues! Can’t wait for season two!

In an interview with Forbes, Gerard also mentioned that volume 4 of The Umbrella Acadmy will be titled: “Sparrow Academy”.

“[It] deals with a very big reveal in the Umbrella Academy universe, something that had been secret for a long time, and our siblings learn a lot about what was happening behind the scenes, as well as discovering the true nature of some characters that have been with them since the beginning,” Way teased. “The series finally starts to answer the question: ‘What about the other babies born on that day, in that moment?’ The Umbrella Academy siblings are not alone in the world anymore.”

Dark Horse has released the official trailer for You Look Like Death: Tales from the Umbrella Academy.

After he’s kicked out of the UA mansion by his father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves (aka “The Monocle”), an 18-year-old Klaus heads to Hollywood, where he contends with magical narcotics and a vampiric drug lord. For Way, the glamorous and sun-soaked Tinseltown setting was the perfect place in which to test the troubled young hero.

“Los Angeles is a place where you can very easily lose sight of who you are, and that is what is happening to Klaus in this series,” he explained. “We see him develop stronger habits and explore more extreme things than he had before. Los Angeles is also a place with a strong dark side, as well as this undercurrent of the occult. It is also a place where somewhat nefarious people transplanted here can more easily thrive and spread out roots, so there’s a good chance Klaus runs the risk of getting chewed up and spit out.”
