Just for info - for anyone in the Uk check out www.thecomicbookshop.co,uk. They have all the Umbrella Academy back issues. They are doing the Dallas #2 issues on subscription for 6 issues and free p&p. I've always found their delivery extremely quick and prompt.

The Rumor:
Haha, touche.

Issue #2's cover intrigues me. I wonder if it's vitally relevant to the plot.
Looks like it's supposed to resemble Marilyn Monroe. I'm guessing the whole JFK and MM love affair will be in it somewhere?

I'll post the covers for issue II and III.

Oh man I cannot wait to see what G has come up with! I wonder if #5 is behind the conspiracy at all? <scratches chin thoughtfully>

*SIGH*

November 26th. As previously mentioned. Numerous times.

this is assuming, of course, it doesn't get delayed like the special edition hardcover. bastards.

Deb is postulating on the story based on the mention of the Kennedy assasination that was briefly mentioned in TUA 1, as well as the Marilyn Monroe-esque cover, and the titles Dallas (Diamond ordering title)/God Save The President (cover title).

November. 26th. Mark your calendar. Tell your friends.

The action figures are here, to be released in 2009.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY BOOK AND FIGURE SET AND FIGURE SET

On sale Apr 15
The Umbrella Academy Figure Set
6-figure set (ranging from 2" to 5" ) in clear dome with blister
$39.99

The Umbrella Academy Book and Figure Set

$24.99

This set of six Umbrella Academy figures evokes the characters exactly as they appear in the comic. The likeness is uncanny, with bold shadowing and strange angles, right down to the fur on Space Boy's oversized arms. We think you will be charmed by this set and love not only the figures, but the unique packaging they are placed in: An umbrella-topped dome looms over the siblings, in all their monochromatic glory.

For the Book and Figure Set, we have chosen Vanya, AKA The White Violin. She's a standout character in the series, defying her family and showing a vindictive, violent streak. A 5" x 7.5" hardcover of the trade paperback has been created for this set, featuring original Gabriel Ba cover art.

They look totally amazing. The prices aren't anywhere near what I was anticipating, either; which is always nice.

I think they're coming out just before my 17th birthday as well, which works out really well.
