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: Good book - The story is outstanding and a great follow up to apocalypse suite. I left the package outside for a few days in the Texas humidity and the adhesive on the back weakened, so not the best paper back quality I suppose. Review: Astonishing. - I had been waiting two years to read this graphic novel; along with Gerard Way's first Graphic Novel, The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite. I picked up the first novel at a small comic books store in downtown Chicago. Let's just say that it was pricey, much too expensive for the content that I was provided. The first novel blew me away, it is in short a literal work of art. The story line fascinating. The art work captivating. My interest had been continually peaked. I finally got to see inside the mind of the man behind the music I had been listening to since 2001. I fell in love with both graphic novels, and I am looking foreword to purchasing his second comic set, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

Good book
The story is outstanding and a great follow up to apocalypse suite. I left the package outside for a few days in the Texas humidity and the adhesive on the back weakened, so not the best paper back quality I suppose.

If you liked the first book you'll like this too
If you've only watched the show and are looking for these to directly be the reference material you'll probably be disappointed for how much the show strayed (probably for the better in my opinion). If you are open to it not being like the show then it is still very enjoyable and worth the read.

Volume 2: Dallas
This is a great series, I didn't know what to expect when I started reading the first volume but I was hooked. The first one is still my favorite. This one was still really good, I honestly wanted to see more of Vanya and the effect her betrayal had from volume one. This volume lacked the sibling interaction that the first one had so I'm hoping it comes back in the next book.

Best Comic I've Ever Read
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

Great Mignola/Miller art
Amazing. If you like the Mike Mignola style, as in Amazing Screwtop Head, this is your best friend. Really goofy and serious and beautiful. The art and design pull together my favorite sources, pretty much Mignola and Miller.

Great quality, great writing, great gift
This was a pretty sweet comic. I wasn't expecting much since I was not a big fan of Gerard Way, but after ordering Vol 1 and this one for my girlfriend for Christmas I had to at least take a look. It was very well done and very interesting, I felt a little bad reading through them both before I even wrapped them for her. Oh well, definitely a nice series, I need to get her more so I can read them...
