Have you guys read The Umbrella Academy comic books? They are solid. I don't know when I'll see it either. I haven't had Netflix since August. Next month I do plan to get going on some more shows though again. It's part of why I haven't been by here lately.

Karma Police

I want to check it out too.

I just saw that she was in ''Salem'' as ''Tibula'' & ''Secret Diary of a Call Girl'', so I have seen her before.

Thanks for that

I'm not too familiar with the comics, it's great they took the source material and wanted to make sure it's more diverse. More people are going to be able to connect to the characters.

Mary J. Blige doing her own stunts and being up at 6:00 to do martial arts, great work ethic indeed.

Here's a summary from Wikipedia of The Umbrella Academy comic for those that haven't read it: The Umbrella Academy initially takes place in an alternate history where John F. Kennedy was never assassinated, and is primarily set in 1977 (the year of writer Way's birth), which is treated as the present. The titular team is described as a "dysfunctional family of superheroes". In the mid-20th century, at the instant of the finishing blow in a cosmic wrestling match, 43 superpowered infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy (it is hinted by a character implied to be God that they are collectively a modern-day incarnation of the Messiah). Sir Reginald Hargreeves a.k.a. The Monocle, an extraterrestrial disguised as a famous entrepreneur, adopts the surviving seven children, and prepares them to save the world from an unspecified threat as the Umbrella Academy. In Apocalypse Suite, the team disbanded and failed to stay in contact with each other until they were reunited upon the news of Hargreeves' death, and subsequently reformed the team after one of their own number became a supervillain.
