The Umbrella Academy creator and, y'know, international rock megastar Gerard Way is returning to comics with Paranoid Gardens - a surreal new fantasy at Dark Horse. The series, which is being pitched as "Derek meets Doctor Who" (with the former being a reference to the Ricky Gervais sitcom Derek), is another collaboration with co-writer Shaun Simon, with whom Way penned Tales from The Umbrella Academy: You Look Like Death and The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem. It will be drawn by Chris Weston.
So what do we know about Paranoid Gardens? Well, it's six-issues long and follows Loo, a nurse at "the most bizarre care center around," a self-aware home which appears to be populated by aliens, ghosts, superheroes and more. "Loo believes that despite a recent failure at her job she's been given some sort of higher calling in this mysterious place, and decides to rise to the challenge. Along the way, she must fight her way through corrupt staff members, powerful theme park cults, and her own personal demons and trauma to meet this challenge and discover what secrets the gardens hold."
