Universal is trying to get into the Superhero game (being one of the studios outside looking in). They've made a deal with Dark Horse and have put Umbrella Academy on the fast track.

As for Umbrella Academy, it won an Eisner Award, which is comicdom's Oscar for a best limited series this past summer at Comic-Con. nd it's said to be a cross between Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol and X-Men, set in an indeterminate time period and featuring mutant superheroes. There will be a continuing story, and Way has said he definitely wants to have storylines that evolve and even conclude, rather than remain ongoing like most superhero titles (which by their perennial nature can't change the main hero too much which is limiting).
