Umbrella Academy Volume 2, The: Dallas

It was nice

Much like the first six books, these stories will frustrate you like your pesky younger brother...you’ll love them anyway. I absolutely love these characters and to see them finding their definition of family, no matter how screwed up, is powerful. Read it. You know you want to. Just read it. Now.

Watched the Netflix show and thought I’d check out the book to see how things stacked up. There are similarities between show and the books but the feel is very different. I thought the books focused more on the team and being superheroes whereas the show was more focused on each character and their development. Both are good but if you’re expecting the same, exact storylines between medium, you might be disappointed. The art is very cool and the style is familiar but special. I bought all three books at the same time and found the price for what I received very reasonable. It’s a fun read!

It came in with some minor damage (tips bent and so) but overall it was in good condition. The story is absolutely amazing, last time I read this I was about 15 and I didn't have the paper version, now I'm all hyped up over the third book all over again! It's a great comic with some oddly likeable yet complicated set of characters

this can honestly probably be read without the context of the first book. don't expect too much backstory, as both this and the first story will leave you with more questions than answers. the art is great and the story is great. you get what you pay for. but don't expect a whole lot of lore to the characters or their motives to be laid out. you kinda have to fill in the blanks yourself. all that said, likable characters, good dialogue and art, and interesting story. probably more a 3.5 out of 5 but they don't give you that option so 4 out of 5 it is.

I think all of the Umbrella Academy comics are must-haves for fans, but despite having a good love for all of them, volumes 1 and 3 weren't the most exciting things in the world for me. Dallas is different though. The story is wild and interesting but done really really well, taking place in some really interesting settings that show some of the characters' interesting traits. New and amazing characters and conflicts are also introduced, and the ending was wild and left my jaw dropped. Easily the best volume in the series
