A review by m0usey
The Umbrella Academy: Dallas by Gabriel Bá, Gerard Way

adventurous medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A much more fun and engaging comic than the first one, but it’s still confusing and shaky. Again, Way attempts to explore themes and ideas but fails, and the way non-white/American cultures are shown is weird at best and downright racist at worst.
