ComicBook.com’s Megan Peters reviewed the first issue of Hotel Oblivion, saying “As a welcome home, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1 reads like a familiar friend, but it doesn’t aim to revolutionize the series Way and Bรก created so many years ago. Readers will slip back into the series with ease, but its slow push back into publication will leave fans who hoped for a more explosive comeback scratching their heads. Still, this run’s debut issue sets up a narrative hook that promises to expand a full-on thriller, and it does so with a touch of surreal poise.”
