Gerard Way & Gabriel Ba reunite!
Gerard Way & Gabriel Ba reunite! Faced with an increasing number of lunatics with superpowers eager to face off with his own wunderkind brood, Sir Reginald Hargreeves developed the ultimate solution. Check out what people are saying about The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1!

"Way’s name on any comic is a call to attention, but combined with Bá on the revival of Umbrella Academy, this issue is the very definition of Required Reading." -Paste Magazine

“It’s been a long time coming. For years we eagerly awaited the arrival of a proper new Umbrella Academy series and now that day has come. Was it worth the wait? Hell yes it was. The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1 is in our hands and it is fantastic. Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s strange world of superheroes was always unlike anything we’ve read, and even now it is surprising us with its twists and turns. Beautiful and bizarre, this twisted family of superpowered misfits holds a special place in our hearts and we are so damn glad it’s back.” -Nerdist

"Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion is a triumphant return for Way and Ba, but it is certainly not a destination for new readers or the faint of heart - after nearly a decade of radio silence, even longtime fans of the series might do well to have a refresher read to get them in the right headspace to appreciate this superpowered family’s status quo." -Newsarama

"THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY came into the world with a bang, and the latest issue in the series, HOTEL OBLIVION #1 is no different. Gerard Way and Gabriel B start off the new issue with the same chaos and absurdity as ever." -Comicsverse

"'Umbrella Academy' is already a classic series, and 'Hotel Oblivion' is already on it's way to joining the previous volumes. A Way and Ba collaboration is always a cause for celebration, so you definitelyneed to check into the Hotel Oblivion. 5 stars!" -Monkeys Fighting Robots

"'Hotel Oblivion" #1 is an intricately crafted, welcome return to not only this universe, but for genre books of this nature." -Multiversity Comics

“Issue 1 of The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion serves up a series of amuse-bouches, small glimpses of the cast and other events that give us a tantalizing taste of what's to come. While it doesn't go too far in any one direction, it definitely leaves you wanting more of both the story and the fascinating world of the Umbrella Academy.” -AiPT

“As a welcome home, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1 reads like a familiar friend, but it doesn't aim to revolutionize the series Way and Bá created so many years ago. Readers will slip back into the series with ease, but its slow push back into publication will leave fans who hoped for a more explosive comeback scratching their heads. Still, this run's debut issue sets up a narrative hook that promises to expand a full-on thriller, and it does so with a touch of surreal poise.” -Comicbook.com
