review 1: Killjoys is like a cyberpunk crossover between The Warriors and Mad Max. One of my favorite styles and two of my favorite films. So obviously I loved the style of this book. The art is great, I love the visuals. The writing is done pretty well, but I feel like there was always in...

review 1: I always, always, always feel the need to preface my reviews of comics/graphic novels with the fact that I read very little in this realm. I read maybe two or three a year, and thus I’m not overly familiar with what makes a good graphic novel or comic. I only know what I like. An...

review 1: Volume 2 takes place briefly after the first, in a recovering world. Again, our heroes face an impending global threat in the midst of even more personal issues. The narrative this time around assumes a much darker, more-slapstick tone as it delves into the deeper plot points and...

review 1: I had always wondered what Pixar's Incredibles had been like if it weren't PG friendly. This short novel answered that question.The Umbrella Academy is a cheeky, smart, and oddly serious rendering of a dysfunctional collection of orphans in an even more dysfunctional family. The ...

review 1: As a young reader (who is honestly so lazy I barely even read comic books due to the fact that I have to read and look at pictures and just ugh basically) I actually really really enjoyed this comic. Now,biased as I may be because of Way's former career as the amazing My Chemical...

review 1: This was such an interesting story. And the art work was incredible! The talent of these artists blow my mind. I can't wait to read the sequel. Basically, I believe around 34 children are born without any coitus occuring. Seven of them have powers, well one doesn't. And they try ...

review 1: Has this formula been done before? Sure. But not quite like this. Like Grant Morrisson says in the intro to this first volume: "it reads like the work of a veteran master of the form."Time travel, check; superheroes; check, villains who are bent on destroying the world, check. Al...

review 1: With sharp dialogue and beautiful artwork, Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba bring a book that any Watchmen fan would enjoy. When I say that The Umbrella Academy: Dallas is an amazing graphic novel, I really mean it. The book is about a family of superheroes trying to cope with the destr...

review 1: This book was even more random and hard to follow than the first one. Again, it was okay. Not terrible but not exactly the best either. The story overall is interesting and left me wanting to read more but in the end I just didn't really love it. There were bits and pieces that s...

review 1: Shortly after finishing Vol. 1 of Umbrella Academy I went into a sad withdrawal not having the second volume at the ready. So naturally when I finally had it in my hands I couldn't stop myself from continuing the story. Once again I was taken into an amazingly detailed world and ...
