This is Comic Geek Speak, episode 327, a conversation with Gerard Way, author of the Umbrella Academy.

And welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm Peter Rios, and I will be your only geek for today.

We have the opportunity to talk with Gerard Way, author of the Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse Comics.

A special thank you to Dark Horse Comics for setting this up.

Um, the interview has already been recorded, so I just want to let you know that, um, what you'll hear first is an interview with Gerard Way, and where we talk about Umbrella Academy and comics and, uh, you know, just a bunch of other stuff.

There might be a few spoilers in that interview episode, not many.

Nothing major that will, you know, that will interrupt your enjoyment of the book itself.

But then following the interview will be a discussion, a little bit more in-depth discussion of Umbrella Academy with Dr. Jeff Glock, who we just had on recently, where we get a little bit more into some of the themes and some of the characters and plot points and things like that.

So the first half in the interview, you know, feel free to take a listen to, especially if you haven't read the book yet,

I think you'll learn some things about the inspirations and Gerardway's thoughts behind the

Umbrella Academy.

And then the second half of this episode is for, probably for people who read it.

So you'll hear a clear defining point in the middle of the episode where you can just stop.

And there isn't really anything after my conversation with Jeff Clock.

So some websites, of course, jeffclock.

Blackspot.com.

You can also go to darkhorse.com.

And at Dark Horse, you can find a link to the Umbrella Academy itself under their comics sections.

And Umbrella Academy, The Apocalypse Suite, is written by Gerard Way, artist Gabriel Oba, cover artist James Gene, colorist, Dave Stewart, and the letter of, at least the free comic book day issue, was Nate Picos.

So it is a fun read.

It's a fun interview, and I think you'll enjoy it.

So take a listen and enjoy gerard way
