The live-action series based on Netflix’s superhero saga, “The Umbrella Academy,” has concluded, leaving many of us with a lingering sense of sorrow. While it seems unlikely that we’ll see a spinoff series, there is still plenty of ground to cover with the Hargreeves siblings. You may recall that this intriguing tale originated from the Dark Horse Comics series co-written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá. Now, these creative minds are reuniting with Dark Horse once more for the much-anticipated fourth volume titled “The Umbrella Academy: Plan B.” We’re thrilled to share two stunning cover previews as well as additional details about this six-issue story.

How Does THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY Season 4 End the Hargreeves Siblings’ Stories?
This new story, titled “The Umbrella Academy: Plan B,” follows on from the events of the 2019 “Hotel Oblivion” arc. In that storyline, we were given a subtle introduction to the enigmatic Sparrow Academy. The groundwork for this volume has been laid since 2020, and we’re thrilled that it’s now coming to fruition! Unlike its counterpart, “Plan B” will delve into the Sparrow Academy, another set of siblings who share a father figure in Reginald Hargreeves. We were introduced to the Sparrow Academy in season three of the Netflix series, and suffice it to say, their encounter didn’t end on a positive note. Their presence has significantly broadened the already peculiar universe in various ways.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY: Who Are the Sparrows?
In the TV series’ third season, the concept from “Plan B” of the comic title was introduced. This plan involved Reginald attempting to alter the timeline for a reality where he could manipulate an outcome. Throughout the season, Alison, who was already in a state of extreme confusion, became involved with this scheme.
Here’s more about what the comic book series will explore:
Following the mass appearance of The City’s most formidable adversaries and the ensuing turmoil at Hotel Oblivion, The Umbrella Academy encounters its toughest battle yet: its own siblings, known as The Sparrows. These siblings have an unusual bond with Sir Reginald Hargreeves and their mother, but their relationship is far from harmonious. After all, there’s no one better equipped to cause harm than family. This brutal, relentless group will stop at nothing to achieve their sole goal: power, and the unquestioning obedience that comes with it.
Gabriel Bá expresses enthusiasm about “The Umbrella Academy: Plan B”, stating, “I haven’t been this thrilled about our story since the initial stages of ‘Apocalypse Suite’. This is the peak of ‘Umbrella Academy’ storytelling.
In Gerard Way’s words, “Working on this story alongside Gabriel has become an extraordinary part of my life. It’s not just about our artistic evolution, but also the chance to grow up and share incredible experiences as we navigated this wild journey together. Each stage of this tale feels like it’s developing into its own entity—at times like a newborn on a packed subway, at others like a giant metal bird plummeting from the heavens. This unpredictable nature keeps me just as thrilled about Plan B as I was when we embarked on our adventure together with Apocalypse Suite.
For the initial unveiling of “The Umbrella Academy: Plan B”, renowned illustrator David Aja provides the artwork. The design features a black umbrella symbolizing our beloved siblings, accompanied by some sparrows perched above. On one side, a small patch of bird droppings is visible, hinting at a solitary sparrow serenading a tune. Quite charming indeed!
In the second installment by Jill Thompson, the Hargreeves siblings in comic form are perched in a nest as a large sparrow ominously approaches them. The titles The Umbrella Academy: Plan B suggest that this new group could cause quite a headache. I’m intrigued to see how the comics will unfold and handle this storyline.
The debut issue of “The Umbrella Academy: Plan B” is set to release on June 11, and you have the opportunity to pre-order it for a mere $4.99 from your local comic book store. In no time, it will also be available online for purchase.
