For many of its readers, The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite’s Eisner win for Best Limited Series this July at the awards ceremony at San Diego Comic Con was not much of a surprise. The story of seven children: Kraken, Séance, The Rumor, Vanya, Spaceboy, Number Five and The Horror (okay, six, as The Horror died at some point previous to this story), The Umbrella Academy is Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s post-modern opus – the love child of Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol and the earliest, craziest X-Men, raised by years of superheroes.
