ooh that cover is kinda scary & more like what Gerard would draw lol but i'm glad they chose the other cover- it's more friendly & suits the comic more.

any one got any ideas for the lettercol name? Gerard's giving away a signed issue for the winner Wink i have no idea Sad

At the end of most books there is a letter column, or lettercol. Fans can write in and the artist/writer/publisher will choose a few letters to print and answer. Most of them have snappy names. "Cup o' Joe" comes to mind. (Joe Quesada's column published in many Marvel titles)

I have an idea for it...

I just don't think it would be good enough for them to use, so I'm hesitant to mail it in.

He wrote The Umbrella Academy, and Gabriel Ba did the comic, while a couple other people did the lettering and such.
But he drew a variant of the cover for the comic that you can buy on ebay.

i can't wait for the next part of the story!

I was particularly impressed by Gabriel's skill where he drew the kid spaceboy when he told the monocle he wants to go to space. Those 3 boxes of spaceboy's expression captures his determination with just a few strokes of the pen & even just through drawing, it gives a clue to his destiny- just look closely at his face! Amazing how Gabriel's simple style can be just as good if not even better than most.

Like I said before, I pre-ordered a issue.
I want it to arrive, I just want to read it Cheese
I doubt that I'll get any more issues after this one since my parents are paying for them and Im buying all of them off Ebay.

lol this thread seems to be full of confused people...

reasons you should buy TUA:
1- because you're young at heart & imaginative & love superheroes anyways
2- because you appreciate the art
3- because you've heard Gerard's 'storytelling' in his songs so his comic will be just as good
3- because you simply enjoy comic books (or want to start reading them)

reasons with which you should NOT buy the TUA:
1- because it's written by a rock star
2- so to prove yourself to be a complete fangirl (lol it's not directed at anyone)

it's never too late to pick up comic books, look at me, I only bought my first comic book at 19 & still haven't seen all the seen most of the superhero movies.

(it's approx $5 AUS)
