Dark Horse Comics announced today the comic book’s third series The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion.
The story of Hotel Oblivion will be told in seven issues, starting October 3, 2018.
According to the description, the series will return “stranger than ever,” and we’ll see the superheroes dealing with some complications from their pasts. Check out official synopsis in full below:
“The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion finds the Umbrella Academy scattered after Sir Reginald Hargreeves’ death. Number Five is a hired gun, Kraken is stalking big game, Rumor is dealing with the wreckage of her marriage, a rotund Spaceboy runs around the streets of Tokyo, Vanya continues her physical therapy after being shot in the head—and no one wants to even mention Seance until issue #2.”
Plus, if you’re too anxious to wait until October, Dark Horse Comics announced it will debut two Umbrella Academy convention exclusives at Comic-Con.

Both the My Chemical Romance singer and co-creator Gabriel Bá shared the news on Instagram, alongside an image of the new series cover:
Umbrella Academy headed to Netflix
Plus, the comic book series is headed to Netflix, with a reported 10-episode show that is expected to hit the small screen for a 2018 debut.
“I am thrilled that The Umbrella Academy has found a home at Netflix,” Way announced last year. “I couldn’t think of a better place for the vision Gabriel Bá and myself had when creating the comic and cannot wait for people to experience that world as a live-action show.”
The cast includes Kate Walsh, Mary J. Blige, Ellen Page, Tom Hopper (Game Of Thrones), Emmy Raver-Lampman, David Castañeda, Robert Sheehan and Aidan Gallagher.
The story follows the family as they “work together to solve their father’s mysterious death while coming apart at the seams due to their divergent personalities and abilities.”
