The Umbrella Academy Comic Book Box Set by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá
Created by writer Gerard Way (lead singer of My Chemical Romance) and artist Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy first hit the shelves back in 2007. This alternative superhero series follows seven dysfunctional siblings who just so happen to have superpowers. The world of The Umbrella Academy is weird, wild, and on the brink of the apocalypse – and it’s up to the Hargreeve siblings to save it. Gerard Way is renowned for his sharp, witty writing, complex and deeply troubled characters who hide behind humor and fighting, and his hilarious but cutting examination of a dysfunctional family. Gabriel Bá’s cartoonish art style brings the Hargreeves to life with sharp angles, dark colors, and a cartoonish feel that perfectly matches the wacky world of The Umbrella Academy. This box set includes all three volumes of the comic book series that inspired Netflix’s wildly popular TV series. Get the complete series now on Amazon.

The GAT-X103 Buster Gundam is one of Gundam SEED’s most impressive suits and this gorgeous action figure from Bandai really does it justice.
