I'm fascinated by the disfunctional family that is the Umbrella Academy. Despite not knowing anything beyond just the general backstory of these characters, Way does a great job of showing us these characters' personalities and the quality of their relationships to each other through their interactions. This is a family that has been through some tough stuff because of how they were raised and it makes for good drama. The world is quirky and bizarre to say the least and the artwork reminds me a lot of Mike Mignola's with it's blocky and exaggerated character designs. Pleasantly surprised by this book. Worth a read if you're looking for a different kind of team book.
