Description
The second installment in this Eisner-winning series, Dallas is even more surreal and darkly
quirky than its predecessor. The Umbrella Academy is a group of superheroes who were
mysteriously born at the same time, adopted and raised together as a family and a team. Now
adults, their heroic and family dynamics are traumatized and dysfunctional, despite their love for
one another. In this volume, the bizarrely childlike time-traveling team member Number Five
recruits his siblings to right a wrong—to save President Kennedy before he is assassinated,
possibly saving the world in the bargain. But in the tradition of dysfunctional families, they
overshoot the mark by three years and end up in Vietnam in the middle of the war and opposed by
a Machiavellian super-intelligent goldfish. Way's nuanced, complex writing and Bá's magnetic,
lush art continue to click together like a finely tuned machine. Dallas hits a sweet spot, appealing
to mainstream audiences and hardcore comics fans alike, not to mention a legion of teenagers
drawn by Way's other role as lead singer of the popular band My Chemical Romance. (Oct.)

Read more *Starred Review* Apocalypse Suite (2008), written by the front man of the emo-punk
outfit My Chemical Romance and drawn by Eisner winner Bá, provided a dizzying refreshment of
the superhero group, adding here a dash of severely dysfunctional dynamics and there a glug of
gleeful peculiarity. The story line of this follow-up swarms like an electron cloud around a plan to
avert the Kennedy assassination—or are they trying to avert the plan to avert the plan? Way has
a special affinity for enigmatic plotlines, in which minor details and major occurrences are left
unexplained for ages, and he isnâ€t afraid to literally end the world, which has happened at least
twice in Umbrella Academy history. Information gets doled out in morsels and roundhouse kicks as
the squabbling squad of super-stepsiblings zips back and forth in time and works to save the world
from, well, themselves and their beyond-clever powers. Rumorâ€s ability to tell a lie and have it
come true offs an Abraham Lincoln monument run amok, mirroring the the first bookâ€s
opening, in which zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel terrorizes Paris with his tower. Such stuff makes
spectacular fodder for Báâ€s chunky, irresistibly hooky art, bursting with constellations of weird,
exciting, and funny touches. Fresh, bitter, ultraviolent, oddly touching, The Umbrella Academy may
be the shrewdest, wildest superhero thing going in mainstream comics. Itâ€s certainly among
the finest. --Ian Chipman Read more
