Kurzbeschreibung
The team is despondent following the near apocalypse created by one of their own and the death of their beloved mentor Pogo. So it's a great time for another catastrophic event to rouse the team into action. Trouble is, each member of the team is distracted by some very real problems of their own. The White Violin is bedridden due to an unfortunate blow to the head. Rumor has lost her voice - the source of her power. Spaceboy has eaten himself into a near-catatonic state, while Number Five dives into some shady dealings at the dog track and The Kraken starts looking at his littlest brother as the key to unraveling a mysterious series of massacres...all leading to a blood-drenched face-off with maniacal assassins, and a plot to kill JFK.

Amazing World & Characters, Story Still Lacking
10. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In my review of Vol. 1 of The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, I stated I thought the world and characters Gerard Way created were fascinating and that the art of Gabriel Ba is great and lends itself to the piece very nicely.
For better or for worse, nothing has changed.
Gerard Way still has trouble as a storyteller. He creates an absolutely amazing world of characters and despite all this family turmoil he presents us, I don't really care about any of the characters. We only get a few snapshots of each relationship, then we are hurried to the next. It's a shame because the world that Way created has got to be up there in my top 5 through all story mediums (movies, games, books, etc.) He has this incredible gift for creating very interesting characters and circumstances (Hazel and Cha Cha being one of the standouts this volume) but if you can't make a story that people care about, you don't really have a story. And killing characters way too quickly (usually comic writers have the exact opposite problem)before we get to know them more, root for them, and enjoy their unique personality.
While there are quite a few gems amongst the dialogue but for the most part the dialogue isn't very good. Many of the lines are very esoteric and self serving, which works for music but not very well in print media.
So all that being said I'm still going to continue with the series since it's one of the freshest stories out there, even if it falls short. Way has some growing to do but considering that The Umbrella Academy is one of his writing ventures published, he's not doing too shabby at all.
___________________________
What needs to stay the same
___________________________
- unique world and characters (this is reason alone to buy it)
- the art and character design
- the mood of the work (macabre and yet amusing)
___________________________
What needs to change
___________________________
- killing off characters way too fast before we get a chance to enjoy them
- story and dialogue need some work
- needs more pathos to keep the reader engaged
I look forward to whenever Vol. 3 comes out and I hope for those of you wanting something a bit different from your graphic novels (or stories in general), I hope you will give The Umbrella Academy a try.

Way and Ba score another hit with "Dallas"
25. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
After the apocalyptic events chronicled in the first trade paperback, Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba show us another side of the Umbrella Academy that I didn't expect to see. Even though they saved the world in the previous storyline, the second trade starts off with some pretty dysfunctional behavior from most of the principal cast of the book, with almost no one feeling the elation of having prevented Armageddon, save for The Seance, who has become a celebrity. Spaceboy has become indolent, Kraken's working with the police to investigate his mysterious time-travelling brother No.5, The White Violin is bedridden, The Rumor is dealing with the loss of her voice, and the Horror is still dead and only shows up in flashbacks. To make my point, the Hargreaves family seems to be even more discontent than at the beginning of the first volume, even though they banded together against a shared evil that should, ostensibly, have brought them closer together. The writing and the art is as magnificent as ever, and Gerard Way seems to have been born to be a comic book writer rather than a musician (though he does the latter pretty well too. He is, after all, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, for those of you who didn't know). Gabriel Ba delivers fine pencils reminiscent of his run on Casanova, and it suits the book perfectly. The plot unfolding in "Dallas" is so quirky and twisted that it made my head spin, as it involves time travel, alternate histories, over-the-top superhero violence and jaw-dropping revelations. The bulk of the story revolves around the secret dealings of No.5, who showed us that he is more than just a time-travelling kindergartener in the last volume, and he is sure to surprise readers even more in the second book. The main threat comes from the mysterious Temps Aeternalis, a secret society with time travel capabilities, and two masked psychopaths called Cha Cha and Hazel. I wish I could say more about the story and what exactly it has to do with the JFK assassination, but that would be giving too much away. Reading this book was a fun ride, and it's safe to say that as good as the first volume was, this one is even better. Buy it if you like Grant Morrison craziness mixed with classic Chris Claremont team dynamics.
Perfect!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Gerard way. I went to the bookstore to try to find this comic but it was nowhere to be found. So, I checked amazon! I recommend that comic book lovers and MCR fans everywhere buy this and the first one! It comes in perfect condition and it's a great read.
