Umbrella Academy: The Commission Handbook gives fans of Netflix's hit show-based on the Eisner Award-winning Dark Horse comic book series and produced by USG-a chance to step into the shoes of a Commission agent. This secret organization is well known to the show's fan-favorite character Number Five, a former Commission agent/assassin who regularly references this guide for the skills necessary to ensure the continuity of Earth's timeline. Designed to look and feel like an in-universe object, readers will learn about the hazards of time travel, including the symptoms of paradox psychosis; gain insight into the roles of analyst, special operations, and infinite switchboard operator; and read in-depth dossiers on the members of the Umbrella and Sparrow Academies.
