I've been carrying on with my re-read of The Umbrella Academy, in preparation for reading Hotel Oblivion.

So, I've been re-reading Volume 2: Dallas this week.

Dallas... where the f**k do I start with Dallas? 😅

This volume is both similar to and entirely different from the Netflx series. Yes, both. At once.

And that level of paradox and contradiction is right up yours truly's street! 👍💖



Dallas is... like the series in terms of characterisation, and quite a few plot elements (Vietnam, Hazel and Cha-Cha, the Commision, etc.)

But when it comes to levels of randomness and total bizarre-ity?

Dallas has been on a lot more caffeine and sugar (and maybe some other substances... but we don't do that kind of thing here on Dora Reads. #ResponsibleAdult)




I mean... in the first issue/chapter, The Umbrella Academy are fighting The Lincoln Memorial (y'know, big a** stone statue of Abraham Lincoln? That) which has come to life for reasons which I can't actually remember us finding out about.

...And it just gets more random from there.

Which I love. So much.

It's like the inside of my head (...you're all so lucky I edit blogposts before I publish 😅)




And m'boy Klaus rocks in Every. Version.

Again, though, I was surprised at just how disturbing gore is in primary colours 😅

Be aware that there's a lot of messed-up sh** going on in this series, too.
