The Umbrella Academy's Complete Timeline (& Alternates) Explained
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Umbrella Academy season 2.

Here's a breakdown of them and the pivotal events that comprise each. Written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy began life as a series of graphic novels. The first installment — The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite — was told across six issues, and the story continued in The Umbrella Academy: Dallas and The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion. A planned fourth installment — The Umbrella Academy: The Sparrow Academy — is also on the way.
Developed by Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater, an adaptation of The Umbrella Academy books premiered on Netflix in early 2019.
