Last month, Netflix released the second season of its hit show The Umbrella Academy. The quirky dramedy following a dysfunctional family of super-powered siblings garnered more 45 million views in its debut last year.

This second outing is on track to match it, currently holding an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an even higher rating than Season One.

The Umbrella Academy is based on a comic book by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. If the show has whet your appetite for offbeat stories, here are 10 other series with graphic novels as their inspiration.
