[edit] But the past ain't through with you Lyrical Reference

i was just wondering if there should be anything about the title of this comic referencing lyrics from the My Chemical Romance song Kill All Your Friends, seeing as Gerard sings that line in the song. if there should be could someone please add it. I wouldn't know where to put it in the summary of the comic. The lyrics to the song can be seen here http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/mychemicalromance/killallyourfriends.html The lyrics i'm talking about are in the fourth line down —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.179.139.78 (talk • contribs) 02:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't notice that, but you are right. I'll add it into the article. – Zntrip 04:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

that looks good. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.179.146.214 (talk • contribs) 22:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Pages

I think the issues/short stories plot details are taking up a lot of room so I'm going to make an The Umbrella Academy (Apocolypse Suite) page and a The Umbrella Academy (Short Stories) page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boggon1993 (talk • contribs) 11:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

The article is really not that long and I think it would be easier for all the information to stay on one page, if at some future time the article reaches “critical mass” I would support moving plot information to a separate page. But for now, I think it is best to just have one article. – Zntrip 17:40, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Things have only really just got started. If the entry gets too large then that is usually a sign it should be trimmed down. Just splitting off entries on individual story arcs could violate WP:PLOT and WP:FICT - plot should be kept trimmed down (overly long plot can be a copyright violation) and real world impact focused on. (Emperor 22:09, 22 September 2007 (UTC))

In that case, I suggest that a seperate page for the Apocolypse Suite is created when the arc is finished which can give room for a more detailed plot, I also think that having seperate seperate pages for characters would be good e.g.Template:Hellboy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boggon2k7 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formal Tone

This entire article sounds like it was written by someone who is more into the plot than a real, informative article. I have cleared up the article up past the summary for the second issue, but there's still a lot that needs to be done. There's a whole litany of run-on sentences. there are also some parts that someone else will have to edit- since I haven't actually read the comic, there's only so much I can do.

[edit] Number Five

The article refers to Number Five (00.05) as The Future yet I don't believe I've seen this code name anywhere in the issues. Can this please be confirmed?--RedKnight (talk) 13:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I see the text has been updated. Thank you--RedKnight (talk) 23:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
