Can the Umbrella Academy save the world once more?

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way's comic is set to return for a second series.

Way's superhero strip 'The Umbrella Academy' will return in November for a second six-issue series bearing the mysterious title 'Dallas'.

The first issue is listed for publication by Dark Horse publishers on November 26.

Following on from first series, 'Apocalypse Suite', the plot is teased as follows: "The Umbrella Academy has saved the world, but the house they were raised in is destroyed.

"One member is bed-ridden, the side of her head held together with tape; and another has lost her voice, the source of her power.

"Now that they've fulfilled their destiny, does the Umbrella Academy have any future at all?"

Way previously told NME.COM that the second series would focus on "a tragic event in American history".

The first series of The Umbrella Academy won a prestigious Eisner Award, the Oscar of the comics world.

Do comic fans rate his stuff? Or is just being sold 'cos of who he is? I once drew a comic abou the time my dog ate my waffle. The sneaky begger.

Umbrella Academy is winning all kinds of awards in the comic world. It won an Eisner and a Harvey (like the Oscars and Emmeys of comics). It is probably one of the best new series to come out in 2007. Comic geeks everywhere are giving it the thumps up.

That's not so bad then. I'll stick to my Batman though. He's getting 'killed off' don't you know.
