Oof, what a disappointing follow-up. The Umbrella Academy story here also appears in the second UA graphic novel, so if you're thinking about checking this out to find that, don't bother.
In reading all of the stories, there are a couple that were fun, and a couple that were interesting. But the majority felt somewhere between needless and mean-spirited. It was almost like the creators were being encouraged to create Edgy-capital-E stories for the sake of it, and they did not resonate, and they were not enjoyable to read. I get it: you don't like furries, or Star Wars fans, or maybe you do like Star Wars fans, but the comic parodying Star Wars was humorless junk--whatever the angle.
Definitely not a collection I'd recommend reading cover-to-cover, even if there are a couple solid stories in here.
