I loved umbrella academy and Klaus is my favourite character so I was excited to read this, it was easy to follow and fun but I wish it focused more on Klaus than it did. I also found his little “adventure” was somehow very intense and also too chill at the same time

Spring 2021 (March);

This series went about like I thought it would and it earned a 3, because I just can't bring myself to actually give it a two, though I enjoyed very little of this story outside of guest appearances (or distance conversations with) by the other Umbrella Academy members. Klaus is just as willing to do whatever it takes from beginning to end of this series to get his next fix, and it does include several purposeful OD's.

Favorite thing in these books is Gerard Way once again reminding the readers and the whole world that these characters do not view themselves as siblings. It's only another habit Reginald trained into them.
