Umbrella Academy Dallas #1
Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá return with a story as American as semiautomatic weapons.
The Umbrella Academy has saved the world, but the house they were raised in is destroyed. One member is bedridden, the side of her head held together with tape; and another has lost her voice, the source of her power. Now that they’ve fulfilled their destiny, does the Umbrella Academy have any future at all?
The Umbrella Academy returns for a second six-issue series--Dallas, where we put the term -- hero -- to the test.
* Variant cover by Jim Lee!

@BrianBaer - No, that makes you a man with good taste.
The first arc was amazing, but I guess I'll wait for the trade... That's how I got the first one.

Ooh, I'm quite tempted by this. I don't normally go Indie in issues, but this looks good.

This is my most anticipated comic to read this week.

This comic is a conundrum to me, can I hate My Chemical Romance and all that it stance for and yet abosulutelly love this comic? I maybe a hypocrite but I love Gerrad Ways Writting (In Comics) I just wish that with the movie it doesn't turn in to "twilight" I got douchechills just thinking about it.

People can be so strange. Why do you care the writer is in a band you don't like? What's that got to do with the price of fish?

@deadspace - it was a joke...anyway I hope the series does well.

Love the character designs.
The First Arc was really good.

I really loved Apocalypse Suite, and I'm happy that the second series is out already. I'm a little worried about Jim Lee doing the alternate cover though. I don't want Lee's penchant for being late rubbing off on Gabriel Ba and Gerard Way. I don't want another WildCats vol.4 incident occuring with this book.

this is so fucking good.

this was awesome in every way.
Posted by deadspace on 11/29/08 at 01:15 PM
Outstanding. My pick this week.
Anyone not picking this up because of Gerard Way's other occupation needs to overcome their prejudices and pick this up, it's fucking awesome.

Really looking forward to this one. I have a feeling my POTW will either go to this or batman rip.
