Coincidentally I just got the last issue of Umbrella Academy's volume two. It continues to be fun yet WTFy.
Recently I got Batman: Terror out of my library. It was... kind of crap. The seams are showing. All the plot devices are trying to do their jobs while shouting their job descriptions really loudly at everyone, and I don't know if you've ever tried that but it's not very efficient. I was left with the feeling that it SHOULD have been a good story, but somehow... it... just... wasn't. It was like they tried to make a cake by tossing all the right ingredients into a bowl and setting the microwave on high.
