Scratches the UA comics itch

You Look Like Death was a good, but not great story.

It's a six-issue story following Klaus/Séance after he gets kicked out of home by Hargreeves. He goes on a drug bender, talks with dead people, and has somewhat of a redemption arc where he helps people.

It's nice. It was great to get a story fleshing out the comic book world that has somewhat been overshadowed by the TV series in recent years. But it's not as strong as the main stories published so far.

But, still worth reading if you've read the other three already 👍

Review of 'Tales from the Umbrella Academy' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

damn Klaus be going THROUGH it.

Very surreal, both heartbreaking and funny. I wish it'd had a bit more of a cohesive story, or at least given more time for various plot points to be fleshed out. But I get it, it's just a side comic and works well enough for what it is.
