Not really any spoilers, but I figured people could talk about the (as usual) excellent issue here.
What I'm really interested in is what the letter column says: "Thanks for writing in, and keep 'em coming. If your letters don't run in this series, well save them for Series Two later this year."
Anyone else excited about that? How is everyone feeling about the series thus far?

The series has been very good. Way has said he has several mini-series planned for Umbrella Academy.

I know he has some planned, I just didn't think another would be coming out so soon.

Striking while the Iron is hot seems like a good idea for Way.

Oh, that is excellent news!
:D
Umbrella has been a REAL surprise.
I know Dave Stewart is a superb colorist but his work on this series blows me away.

I love this comic so much, best comic being published at the moment, it seems like just yesterday I was thinking "Can't wait for Umbrella Academy to start" and now it's one issue from the end. Regarding #5 I only have one thing to say
Pogo :(

I went into this series loving the FCBD book but disliking the music of My Chemical Romance. I was hessitant to even get the first issue, I thought it would be like Madonna acting or Eddie Murphy doing music. Since, it has become one of my top books each montha nd am very excited to hear that it will continue past these 6 issues.

I think Ba is going back to do the third story arc of Casanova, but who knows.
Casanova deserves to get a sales bump from all the emos wandering into comic shops because of UC, this is by the same artist and it is awesome! Buy! You fools!

Best, most unsuspectingly good mini I've read in the last calendar year. I was happy to read that Gerard has more stories on the way and even has a "proper" ending for the team down the line.

I LOVE this series so much, I was thrilled to read that little soundbite at the back of issue 5. Seems to me there's a LOT more story to tell here.
The line about the editor reading the script for the last issue and telling Way that he was a sadist has me terrified. We already lost Pogo, and Vanya seems unlikely to make it out of this series intact. Add to that the sad loss of The Horror (Before we even knew you, so sad!) and things look to be decidedly on the quiet side in the Academy come series II.
Maybe they will do step back in time thing? I don't know, I love this series so much, I need more and more and more.

Way talked about a hardcover. Given that it's been a few months since the last solicit, expect some collection or another to be solicited soon.
