Stories like The Umbrella Academy are why I read comics. Visually splendid and bursting with crazy, inventive energy, this bookwill reward readers with ideas and images they've never seen before. I can't wait to see where Way and Ba go from here! Read Full Review

Last but not least, Gabriel Ba's art is lovely as always. From little kids in school uniforms fighting statues, to Rumor's confrontation with White Violin, he's able to nail everything needed in terms of visuals. Shots of Seance preening in front of a mirror or Rumor's facial contortions as she realizes the mental state that White Violin is in, both speak so loudly that Way doesn't need dialogue to explain exactly what's going on here. Ba's an amazingly talented artist and by the time the book gets to 00.05's fight against the attacking hordes, you know that he's the sort of person that can draw everything just spot-on perfect in Way's script. "The Umbrella Academy: Dallas" #1 (which as the inside cover points out, is for all intents and purposes "The Umbrella Academy" #7) is another great reminder of just how much fun the first mini-series was, and how this new one promises to be more of the same.
