Time travel is complicated, and when you start interfering with anomalies to protect the timeline, what is the true timeline anyway?
Umbrella Academy: Dallas (UA:D) is the second story in the Umbrella Academy series. I read book one a while ago, but it wasn't until I went looking back through Tumblr that I realised just how long ago that was.
Given it was pre-pandemic when I read the first book, it's perhaps not a surprise it took a while to reconnect with all the characters.
Time travel shenanigans and family is complicated
For those who aren't familiar with the Umbrella Academy, they belong to the trope of 'dysfunctional heroes'. As I said in my post about the first book:
While the heroes of UA all have some sort of super power, they’re also very human in their failings and the ways in which they have been shaped by the abuse, trauma and stress of their lifestyle.
This is perhaps explored better in the Netflix series than the books, but even in the comic, it's there. The characters have a complicated relationship relationship with each other. Adopted as children and forced to work together as a crime-fighting family, the group dynamic is ... complicated.
'UA:D' involves a good dose of time travel shenanigans as our protagonists attempt to determine which which bad things to do for good reasons, and what well intentioned things could lead to disaster. Of course since this involves super heroes and super villains, they must do all this while facing the threat of multiple assassins.
Yep, it's a wild ride.
A comic lovers delight
If you like quirky characters and plot lines involving questionable morality , then 'UA:D' is probably something you'll enjoy. Whether you should buy the book versus watch the Netflix series though, will come down to whether you're prepared to pay a premium to hold a piece of art in your hand.
For me, it was a yes on both counts, so hopefully I can find the remaining books at a more affordable price.
