Sadly, here we reach the end of the second series of stories about The Umbrella Academy - but at least it's a snapping good ending.However, if you haven't been reading it up to now, don't start here - you'll be hopelessly confused. Instead, wait for the collected edition coming out in October.
This mini-series was titled "Dallas," which is the main setting for this final issue - the Dallas, Texas of 1963, as the time-traveling assassin known as Number Five must find a way to stop himself from preventing the assassination of President John Kennedy. Yep, you read that right.
Shocks, violence, mind-bending twists, saving the world - it's all part of the Umbrella Academy arsenal, and it's all used to good effect here.
Once again, a terrific story by Gerard Way and fantastic art by Gabriel Ba make this one of the best and freshest books around.
Who would have thought?
