Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá are back for another Umbrella Academy mini-series! If you haven't read The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, I would highly recommend picking up the trade of that one. And that is a must before starting this new story. There is a recap on the inside cover of this first issue, but it would make a lot more sense if you've read the first book. Besides, it's a great story =o)This issue is great! It brings us up to speed on where the characters are, it is action-packed, and it sets up a cliff-hanger ending where the world is apparently doomed =o)
Also, it is worth noting that this is a $2.99 lengthy issue with zero advertisements in it. Not quite as awesome that way as Warren Ellis's Fell issues at $1.99 with no ads, but it's close.
My favorite panel is Number Five yelling, "I am a gazelle and the jungle is my home!" You'll have to read the issue to know the context. Highly recommended! Very refreshing and different.
