IGN.com has posted several tweets from former My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way stating that Umbrella Academy will return in 2014 with not one but two new series! He posted the following on his Twitter account over the weekend:
"So I got a really nice email from Gabriel Ba the other day, he's an amazing comic artist who was the artist on Umbrella Academy. He was checking in to see how I was and that he was going to be finished with a project sometime next year, and we both agreed to do part 3 and 4 of Umbrella Academy, starting next year. I am almost finished with my music project and so it's time to get back into comics. Since I announced The Umbrella Academy part 3, a lot happened and my life changed a lot, so I never got to start it, but starting next year there's going to be a steady output of things I make. So I just wanna thank everyone who stayed a fan the past few years."
Also posted were a few rough designs of new UA characters:
This is exciting news for us Umbrella Academy fans, who have been waiting since word first dropped of The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion in 2009!
