My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way has been a comic fan for as long as he can remember. Doom Patrol was a favorite when he was a teenager, inspiring his first ambition in life—to be a comic book author. Who'd have ever thought he'd become a rock star instead! With the rock world all but conquered, there was one thing left for him to do—create his very own comic adventure!

Umbrella Academy centers around a group of super-powered children who are adopted by a space alien. He makes for a very poor father, leading the kids on a path to hating each other and him. When the alien dies, the kids reunite after years of estrangement, attracting the attention of some old foes—possibly bringing on the apocalypse.
