I just have a couple episodes left to watch of Umbrella Academy on Netflix and I only have one more chapter left to read in the Apocalypse Suite graphic novel. It’s been fun reading the graphic novel and watching the show at the same.
There are major differences between the mediums, but also some direct similarities. The characterizations are similar and there is dialogue almost exactly the same in both, but there are many differences in occurrences and story development.
The art of the graphic novel doesn’t quite translate to the show, and of course the novel doesn’t have the musical expression that the show can exhibit. The show does a great job using musical choreography to transition scenes fluidly. Overall for both channels, it’s a fun and entertaining story about a very different superhero team.
Season Two for the Netflix series has been confirmed so maybe I’ll read another graphic novel while watching it. Fans often ask me: Should I read the book or watch the show first? My answer is to have fun with it.
