I found that Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite was actually pretty good. A lot of weird, kind of Silver Age, random shit going on, but some how Gerard Way makes it work.
Chesire Cat:
Gerard Way?
Joseph:
Same guy.

Those are technically Vertigo (an imprint of DC) titles. They mostly have nothing to do with mainstream DC continuity. DC is actually more along the lines of JLA, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman.

This. DC and Vertigo have about as much to do with each other as DC has to do with Animaniacs. Sure, they're all owned by the same folks, but that's about where the similarities stop. There was some very vague crossover back when the line started, but the two have been completely different entities for close to twenty years now.
