Gerard attended NYCC on October 6th and there was also an Umbrella Academy Netflix panel on the 5th.
On October 5th we were able to live stream the Umbrella Academy panel with the exception of a trailer that they played of the upcoming show.
According to our correspondent who was at the panel the trailer was:
The clip showed at #NYCC2018 was a trailer for #UmbrellaAcademy that featured backstory of how they came together and then showing them interacting and in action. The music featured in the trailer was described as heavy beats with no lyrics.

On October 6th the day started with a signing by Gerard and Gabriel Ba hosted by Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse live streamed the signing on their Instagram story, they said they would upload it to their youtube, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to have happened yet!

NYCC requested no photography during the panel so we don’t have any pictures from the panel to show you, however, if you go to the link below from Newsarama they did a great job live blogging the event so you can feel like you were there!
