Finally! http://www.darkhorse.com/Zones/UmbrellaAcademy UA Zone on DH website!
Here's the opening message from Gee:
From the Editor
Gerard Way, Umbrella Academy Creator
What a year it's been!
Updated 10/28/2008
Our noble editor, Scott Allie, asked me to write the opening to our official Dark Horse Umbrella Academy Zone, which is really exciting since there is no official website for the comic, only a MySpace page.
When we had talked about having a Zone a little under a year ago, we had a lot of ideas of what it should be, and what I wanted more than anything was a place where our readership could get news, talk about issues, look at some art, and connect with each other on the message boards.
I also wanted a place where I felt like I could write about what I wanted, talk about the book when I wanted—and the same goes for everyone that works on the book. So you should expect to see little notes here and there from all of us, and we are going to do our best keeping up with that, though we're all really busy making the book.
As we start another semester at the Academy, I can say I am very excited about continuing the book, which was always supposed to be an ongoing saga, a book to share ideas and push the boundaries of a modern comic, always changing depending on what we wanted to say with each particular chapter. I have met some amazing people on this ride and made a family, not only in Dark Horse, but also in the creative team and every single person I meet that believes in this little comic. Winning the Eisner Award was a childhood dream of mine and Gabriel's; being nominated for the Harveys is a huge honor, and we're just going to keep doing what we have been doing -- telling the stories we want to tell. So, on behalf of the entire UA team, I welcome you to the Umbrella Academy Zone, ask you to play nice, respect each other, and try not to be late to class. Oh, and please try to stick to the point of the message boards -- to talk about the comic, share ideas, and have some fun. |

Gerard is against spam.
I think the mods should use this to bribe people into posting properly.
I'm glad about this, TUA is going to be epic, cannot wait for the second series! |
