The first issue was released on November 26, 2008
In a flashback, the young Umbrella Academy battle the now-living statue of Abraham Lincoln as part of a deal between their adoptive father Hargreeves and President John F. Kennedy. Following the events of Apocalypse Suite, Kraken has taken more of a leadership stance on the team as Spaceboy has become morbidly obese due to depression. The Rumor, unable to use her reality-shifting powers due to the severing of her vocal chords, holds a grudge against a now-paralyzed and amnesic White Violin. Number 5 is hunted by men in gas masks - after a battle from which Number 5 emerges the victor, a survivor manages to request the intervention of "Hazel and Cha-Cha", to which Number 5 responds with horror.
The second issue was released on December 24, 2008.
Hazel and Cha-Cha (two psychotic time traveling serial killers who wear oversized cartoon animal masks) are at a diner eating pie. Hazel asks what is in it, but the cook won't tell them. The cook fondly explains his encounter with a businessmen from Barcelona offering five thousand dollars for the recipe which was refused, and that the cook had told him that he'd have to chop of all his arms and legs in order to get the recipe out of him. Of course, the two psychotic men then proceed to do so. The Kraken encounters Lupo and Body in Lupo's office at the police station as he is skimming through photos of a massacre caused by number 5, and is questioned about Number 5. Kraken is clueless on his brother's whereabouts. The Kraken returns home and is infuriated at Spaceboy. The Rumor discovers the Monocle's monocle and with it, number 5. The Seance is captured by Hazel and Cha-Cha who want to use him to locate Number 5.
