Umbrella Academy 4 plot
Like Game of Thrones before it, The Umbrella Academy has found itself in a weird place where it has surpassed the story of the source material that it’s based on. Comic creators Gerard Way & Gabriel Bá have spoken previously about wanting to do multiple more volumes of The Umbrella Academy comic series, but the TV series has gone well beyond what’s already been published. Luckily for comic readers and fans of the show, TV series creator Steve Blackman has been in talks with the pair about how they’ll handle the ending, and those wondering if the show might spoil the comics may be surprised.
“(Gerard) has a good sort of idea what he wants going forward,” Blackman previously told ComicBook.com. “But we’ve also got to the place where we see the tv show and the graphic novel as being somewhat symbiotic, but on their own path. My goal is not to take the show away from where he’s going with the graphic novel, but not everything translates because of money. Sometimes it’s just so weird I don’t know how we we do the tv version of it, but we’re close enough that you know, I have a good sense of where he’s going and I love to sort of use as a springboard or the inspiration for ours. So we never want to be on our own path without Gerard and Gabriel’s influence in the show.”
