Assorted Umbrella Academy fun stuff

[rosiespark]

Ok, so I promised fajrdrako Gerard Way picspam but have just spent two hours collecting the following links, so I'm going to post them instead. The picspam will be forthcoming, eventually - and hey, anticipation is half the fun! Isn't it? ::grins evilly::

Teenage Vanya and the Kraken, and their Punk Band shenanigans! It's a NEW Umbrella Academy story:

Thank you so much! That link to the Gabriel Ba concert comic was the best. That was wonderful.

After exchanging comments with you about MCR I went on a YouTube search and spent the evening listening to their music. And then again, when I was doing yoga this morning.

Eagerly awaiting the picspam. Really. Where'd you get the icon? did you make it?

[rosiespark]

If this link works, it should keep you occupied for quite some time... ;)

[fajrdrako]

Oooh - wonderful! thank you.

[rosiespark]

That link to the Gabriel Ba concert comic was the best.

Not sure which link is my favourite - I'm just happy I've collected them all in one post for future reference!

The icon is by bekie098. I think it's from a screen cap from the NME interview. See the first two videos on my MCR interviews playlist on YouTube. Worth watching!

P.S. I also want the Umbrella Academy umbrella. It's brilliant.

Did you notice all the broken black umbrellas on the floor at Hargreeves's mansion? You can see them when Spaceboy arrives from the moon, and possibly in a later scene or two. Another throwaway detail which is yet to be revealed. We hope Gerard's going to let us in on the secret, anyway. I mean, why the Umbrella Academy? :)

Oh, and if you have the individual issues rather than the trade, I don't know if you've seen the dedication?

"To my wife Lindsey, for being my umbrella."

Awwww!

[fajrdrako]

"To my wife Lindsey, for being my umbrella."

That's lovely! No, I didn't see it - haven't got the TPB. Is there anything else, like an introduction, in the TPB?

Yeah, I'd love more of the Academy background. And I'd love to see some of the characters again.

It's frustrating, in a way - there's obviously so much more story that what we've seen so far feels like just being given a taste without being allowed to grab a spoon and dig in...

Write faster, Gerard!
