The official description for “You Look Like Death!” reads: “Roughly ten years before the events of Apocalypse Suite, 18-year-old Séance gets himself kicked out of the Umbrella Academy. With his allowance discontinued by Hargreeves, he takes to a place where his ghoulish talents will be appreciated––Hollywood. After a magical high on a vampire-drug-lord’s stash, Klaus needs help, and doesn’t have his siblings there to save him.”
This marks the latest addition to the “Tales from the Umbrella Academy” spin-offs which debuted last year with the publication of “Hazel and Cha-Cha Save Christmas.” That special one-shot issue was written by Way and Scott Allie with art by Tommy Lee Edwards.
“For a long time, I had wanted to tell the story of Klaus Hargreeves’ life after the Umbrella Academy disbanded and before the events of Apocalypse Suite,” Way said in a statement. “I imagined a pretty wild decade for Klaus– full of ups and downs, seedy places, supernatural excursions, and internal battles within himself. I am thrilled to finally be able to tell this story with my co-writer Shaun Simon, who sees the world of the UA as clearly as I do. Also thrilled to work with such an amazing art and lettering team in I.N.J. Culbard and Nate Piekos.”
“The sky is the limit to where we can expand the Umbrella Academy universe,” Bá added. “This series will be a surprise to readers, and Ian’s distinct artwork will help with establishing Klaus’ past and building its own personal symbology.”
The first issue of You Look Like Death will be published on June 17, 2020. Check out the official cover art below and look for season 2 of The Umbrella Academy TV series to debut on Netflix later this year.
