DOOM PATROL #3

No Caption Provided

(W) Gerard Way (A/CA) Nick Derington

Casey Brinke has stepped through to the other side-but where exactly is that? Given all the bizarre, unexplainable things that have come into her life over the last couple of days-robot men and talking ambulances and a guy who literally thrives on negative energy-surely this new and surprising world she has uncovered can't be any weirder. Right?

I'm normally against in universe lines that try to be "Mature" but the Doom Patrol is a rare case of a series that can use (and sometimes may even need) those themes to convey the message of what the team stands for and represents. Thankfully Gerard Way has a masterful understanding of who these heroes are and the types of stories that need to be told with them. In the first two issues alone he already nails the aspects of the Doom Patrol I love in the most subtle of possible ways while delivering an entertaining story to go hand in hand, helped along by some fantastic artwork.

Plus it feels like anyone who's not searching for any deeper meaning or who isn't super into the Doom Patrol can enjoy it on a superficial level as just being a fun adventure that's weird for the sake of weird.

Long story short, if you're not buying this, start as soon as possible

I wonder if Elastigirl is gonna make an appearance. She's always the one getting left out. Do writers think she was too powerful or too normal? Not that it's gonna ruin the comic and I do consider Doom Patrol one of the best going on in DC right now.

Well said. I haven't gotten the chance to read any previous Doom Patrol series or incarnations aside from their brief appearance in Geoff John's Justice League but I am enjoying Way's story and learning about these characters as the story progresses. I hope to one day soon read through the omnibus of Morrison's run that I have so that I can appreciate the insanity and concepts that this run takes seems to take its inspirations from.

I would also recommend tracking down Kieth Giffen's run, as that seems to be the other run that's inspiring this new one in part; and genuinely I think Giffen;s DP is second only to Morrison.

@captainmarvel4ever: Heh, that show would have been a great place for the second version of the Doom Patrol to make their animated debut. Robotman returns, and brings Celsius, Tempest and Negative Woman with him.

@bigsoto74: Larry Trainor, Negative Man. However, his powers and nature seem a bit changed from the last time... anyway, he is a long time member of the Doom Patrol
