The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: Apocalypse Suite by Gerard Way
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yet another comicbook tome lent to me by my girlfriend Daphne. “This one’s special”, she told me handing it over to me, her words a cross between a teaser and a warning. She was right: superheroes with weird but cool powers, random humour and clever details, awesome panel and page transitions that made me go “woooah, that was brave”, a tongue-in-cheekness in every little thing that sat quite well with me. This is not really my genre of preference, but after The Umbrella Academy I had to ask myself why not. Looking forward to reading Part Two already.
