The Umbrella Academy is a great way for Netflix to get into the comic book genre, especially with their existing Marvel TV series no longer expanding beyond what they already have.
Umbrella Academy revolves around the estranged members of a dysfunctional family of superheroes known as, well, The Umbrella Academy.
The comics version of the story first made waves in 2007 via the six-issue limited series titled The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, followed by the second series, The Umbrella Academy: Dallas, which first hit the shelves in 2008.
The small screen is also populated by numerous series that mine story inspiration from graphic novels, which is why The Umbrella Academy could be an easy sell for Netflix if done right.
