Missing the good character moments I liked so much from the first volume. It had a lot more spectacle to it, but I found that less valuable.
I really struggled with this. Which was a shame as I loved Vol 1. Seemed a little all over the place.
I liked this one a lot more than the first. It was bizarre and fun!
Over the top characters, family dynamics, time travel. I would like to continue reading this series, please!
While I thought the first installment in the series was dark, I truly had no idea how dark this was going to be. There is death and blood EVERYWHERE. And some of the most violent murders are by people with cute little puppy and heads.
It was also a slightly frustrating read because this one is heavily based on time travel and when you’re reading you’re quickly thrust from one time to another. This is really bothersome until you get to the end and you realize the awesome plan that was executed very nicely.
The only thing that has stuck with me as something I didn’t like was this rich boy reference. This guy named Johnny Boy and I can’t figure out what the crap he was doing in the comic! Oh well.
Rumor is still my favorite. She even had my favorite quote, “I heard a rumor you were assassinated.” This was in the opening chapter and went along very nicely with the whole theme of the book.
Seance is also really growing on me. He gets a chance to visit heaven and meet God. That was the best part of the comic and enough of a reason to go grab a copy.

I enjoyed this enough to give it three stars, much like I did with volume one. Again, the concept is interesting enough, but the plot is a bit all over the place like it was in the last one. The main problem is, though, that I can't connect with these characters at all.
The artwork was amazing, as it was in the last one, but I'm almost certain I won't be reading any more of The Umbrella Academy if any further volumes are published in the future.

I agree with Gerard when he said this book is when things really started.
In Dallas we get to know the personalities of the characters a lot more and we get to meet all the temps and correctors of time mistakes.
I didn’t know the extent the show mashed up elements from the other parts of the series so it was interesting to meet characters in paper that I already knew in a screen.
I really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to read the last parts of the series and will definitely go and read the work by Gabriel and his twin because it seems amazing.
