The Umbrella Academy: Plan B #4

Fans of The Umbrella Academy will dive into Plan B #4, a brand-new chapter that picks up after Hotel Oblivion. This six-issue series—written by Gerard Way with art by Gabriel Bá and colors by Dave Stewart—follows the eccentric, dysfunctional family of adopted superheroes as they confront personal fallout and looming threats. In this issue, Allison confronts the mistakes of her past and the pull of her complicated family ties, while Jennifer’s visions hint at larger destinies in play. The margin of satire remains sharp as the narrative toys with political absurdity—remember a president with a chimpanzee Marilyn Monroe inspired by the Sparrows’ schemes. Plan B #4 continues the direct continuation of the Umbrella Academy saga, pairing character-driven drama with high-stakes, fantastical intrigue across a tight 32-page package. Cover variations by Gabriel Bá and Zoe Thorogood offer distinct visual takes on this pivotal moment.
