Synopses & Reviews
The team is despondent following the near apocalypse created by one of their own and the death of their beloved mentor Pogo. So it's a great time for another catastrophic event to rouse the team into action. Trouble is, each member of the team is distracted by some very real problems of their own.
The White Violin is bedridden due to an unfortunate blow to the head. Rumor has lost her voice — the source of her power. Spaceboy has eaten himself into a near-catatonic state, while Number Five dives into some shady dealings at the dog track and The Kraken starts looking at his littlest brother as the key to unraveling a mysterious series of massacres...all leading to a blood-drenched face-off with maniacal assassins, and a plot to kill JFK.
Review
"It's The X-Men for cool people." Grant Morrison, author of All-Star Superman
Review
"Umbrella Academy is an evolutionary step in superhero comics....In the contemporary market, it'd be a challenge for you to find a book as inventive and exciting as this one." IGN
Review
"With his use of eccentric dialogue, nicely paced foreshadowing, and secret histories Way really had me hooked from beginning to end....I think of UA Dallas in the same terms that I do of Terminator 2 or Aliens; sequels that surpass the original story. (Grade: A)" AboutHeroes.com
