Secret Six Vol. 2 #9

May 17, 2009

Since Nicola Scott's back, I have no complaints, art-wise or otherwise. This is the perfect issue to show why Secret Six is my favorite running DC title.

The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #6

May 18, 2009

The Bad: While many of us in comics are used to the kind of schizophrenic narratives that characterize usual continuity, Umbrella Academy's continuity is a kind of patchwork quilt with pieces missing all over, thanks to the delightful use of time travel. It's a book for people of a particular mindset and sense of humor. My advice? Go check out the first collection, The Apocalypse Suite, and see if that appeals to you. If it does, you're in luck. If not, you'll probably be unable to stand the book. Also, if you're unable to get over the stigma of sharing comic book tastes with scores of teenage girls (due in great part to Gerard Way's day job and ensuing fan base), you may want to steer clear of Umbrella Academy entirely.
