Being Number Eight in the Umbrella Academy means living with everyone's thoughts and secrets all the time. It's tough being the mind-reader of the family. And when Five suddenly returns after being lost in time, your carefully built walls begin to crumble. He's different, sharper and colder, definitely not the same boy you fell in love with years ago as children. But beneath it all, something familiar still lingers. This story follows a re-telling of the show The Umbrella Academy told through your eyes. A slow-burn story that deals with overcoming family trauma and dynamics, family scars, saving the world, and trying to navigate a world full of noise.
