Putting a new spin on superheroes is tough. Almost everything has been done before, and it's rare to find something so wholly unique that is also incredibly good. Umbrella Academy is a amazing take on the super-team in the modern age, and serves as an example that there are fresh angles to take. You just have to be bold enough to take them. Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba were, and we were given one of the most refreshing comics in years. That's why you should read it now.

So we hear you're looking for something to read. That's great because we've got a ton of recommendations on what comics you should be checking out. Every week we'll pick out one gem from the longboxes or trade shelves that you absolutely cannot miss. We're talking mainstream, indie, full storylines, single issues, and beyond. If there's a comic we enjoy that we think you will too, you'll hear all about it on Read This Now!
