The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #3

Ah, it's secret origins time down at The Umbrella Academy, as we learn the story behind the deadly Number Five.

And it's one of those, "Well, I didn't see that one coming" kind of stories. It's clever, creative and fun, in an odd and sometimes gruesome way.

We also learn some more about the deadly assassins who are closing in on Number Five, and another character apparently meets God. (Would I make this up?)

We're three issues into the "Dallas" story, and the series continues to maintain a high level of fun (though it's not for young readers - there's some bloody business going on here).

The art by Gabriel Ba is fantastic and perfect for the story unfolding here.

What more do you need to hear? You should check this one out!

Grade: A-
