Even as the major superhero film franchises appear to be exhausting their runs The Umbrella Academy demonstrates that the superhero genre is still extremely effective at creating role models with lasting psychological resonance and allegories with extraordinary emotional impact. These essays give a voice to the misunderstood family members of The Umbrella Academy in the comic book series and its highly popular Netflix adaptation. They explore different forces like individualism, identity, family, and feminism. One of the most striking features that unites these concepts is the linkage between violence with voice, as well as violence's aestheticized depiction.

In _The Umbrella Academy: Dallas_ #2, Spaceboy watches reality TV and Number Five lies low in a seedy motel. Meanwhile, a threat against the Umbrella Academy begins to rouse the team, who've been rather uninspired since the catastrophic events in 2007's best-selling _Apocalypse Suite_. Only one member of the team understands the danger that lies ahead; the massacre in Costello's Diner has raised some suspicions of what's happened, and what's to come. At the heart of this, the Umbrella Academy feels the loss of Pogo, the chimp that had held them together since childhood, and resorts to remedies that won't help, and, sadly, won't cure boredom. **2008 Eisner Award winnerBest Limited Series and Best Cover Artist!**
