If you’ve missed The Umbrella Academy since the show ended—or wish that the finale didn’t go down like that—you’re in luck. The story will continue on June 11 in a new Dark Horse comic called The Umbrella Academy: Plan B from original creators Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, according to Variety. This will be the first comic from Way and Bá since the adaptation launched on Netflix in 2019, and it’s set to explore The Sparrows, who will be familiar to viewers of the show from their appearance in the third season.
Per Variety, the synopsis for The Umbrella Academy: Plan B reads, “After the mass release of The City’s greatest foes and the chaos that followed in Hotel Oblivion, the Umbrella Academy faces their most fearsome challenge to date–their other brothers and sisters. Known only as The Sparrows, they share a different connection to Sir Reginald Hargreeves and Mom. No one knows how to hurt each other more than family, and this powerful, ruthless brood will spare no brutality in favor of their sole objective—control and the obedient glare that comes with it.”
