Surprisingly good! 0
I wasn't sure if this was going to be just a hyped book marketed to the 18-35 crowd the same way as Hollywood movie just because of Gerard Way's rock n' roll success.

So I'm a bit late to the party, but figured I'd give my two cents about a comic I've heard about in whispers across comic shops. Keep in mind I haven't read any other issues beyond this one, so my familiarity with the characters is limited and I may not be giving the series a fair shot based on one first issue. That said, I expected more than what I got. Umbrella Academy has a cool name, a cool logo, and what seems to be a dark and ominous start. A group of kids were all born at the same tim...
