It was only a matter of time before my exploration of graphic novels would lead me to a superhero story. Enter the Umbrella Academy, a team of dysfuctional superheroes with many interpersonal issues. The premise of these seven heroes, born exactly at the same moment—some to women who weren't even pr...
I'm giving this three stars, because I'm honest. Look, I'm not a graphic novel reader. It's not that I don't appreciate the art form, but because I like self-contained stories and in comic universes, that rarely happens. However, and despite how weird it is this should not come as a surprise to thos...
Bar the odd track, I'm not a MCR fan, but I am a comic fan, and by God I've never read such twaddle. Non-sensical rambling, incoherent panel placement, and average artwork make this a painful experience.
Yes the second graphic novel of the day, what can I say, I checked what else they had too and this was a freaky novel about super heroes. All a very dysfunctional family saga. Again good artwork, cool story. Though I really wanna know about those preggers women, the freaky kids...but I guess that ...
I didn't love this book. I can't tell if it's my fault for waiting so long to read the second trade, or if it's their fault for confusing me.Let's blame Gerard, shall we?
This one's been in my tbr pile for a long time, and I finally got around to reading it.I don't follow the music group My Chemical Romance, but I did see one of their videos, and I found it visually appealing. I can definitely see the artist in Gerald Way from that video sequence, and it carries ove...
Gerard Way should put Chemical Romance aside and write some more Umbrella Academy. The second surpasses the first one by a long shot. Literally taking out the president. This graphic novel goes down as one of the best.If you like Grant Morrison then you will love this.
Absolutely amazing! Way writes some of the most memorable and original characters and sets them in the most wild and geeky universe I've read in a long time. The Umbrella Academy is a host of youths born around the world at the same time that manifest a variety of powers. Of all the births, seven su...
If there were six stars, I'd give it to this book. Way continues to deliver with the second volume of Umbrella Academy. The plot becomes way more complex and for a sophomore outing, this is one heck of an achievement. Way packs into six issues what Grant Morrison has trouble doing in fifty with far ...
Though the story is nothing new and predictable, it is the narration and the characters that are worth the read.I had no expectations about the book and after I had finished it, no commendations either.
