She’s a standout character in the series, defying her family and showing a vindictive, violent streak.

A 5″ x 7.5″ hardcover of the trade paperback has been created for this set, featuring original Gabriel Ba cover art. Here’s some of the things they’re saying:

“The figurine is on the top shelf in her room like it is an item of worship.”

“Definitely a must-have for any fan of the series.”

“It feels like something you would get in a happy meal from a fast food restaurant.”

Mindless Self Indulgence bassist Lyn-Z and her husband, My Chemical Romance vocalist and comic book writer Gerard Way, welcomed a baby girl into the world yesterday afternoon.

Their daughter, Bandit Lee Way, was born in Los Angeles at 2:57 P.M. on May 27th and weighs 6 lbs., 5.6 oz. “Everyone is healthy and happy.” Says a rep for the couple.

Gerard said he is “very excited” about fatherhood, adding: “I don’t know that I ever thought about having a kid, but then I also didn’t expect to meet Lyn-Z. When I met her I knew she’d be the one person I could have a kid with.”

Lyn-Z and Gerard were married in September 2007 after MCR and MSI toured together on Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution. They announced the pregnancy in November. This is their first child.

Caleb from Every Day Is Like Wednesday says: “Dallas #1 is every bit as fun, funny, fast-paced and furiously imaginative as Apocalypse Suite #1 was.”

Evil Dead Junkie from Things That Don’t Suck gives it an “A” and says: “This book is seven different flavors of bad ass.”

Some of these are for sale, but if you’d like you can also order the plastic action figures. This brings a whole new meaning to the age-old question: paper or plastic? Enjoy.

We ran (not walked) to the comic book store this morning to buy the The Umbrella Academy in: The Jungle (Issue One of Six of Series Two: Dallas). The highly anticipated first issue of the second series did not disappoint. It was a whole 32-pages of comics, no ads! It was a really great story and we highly recommend it. We’re now excited for issue two which comes out next month, on December 24.
