Doom Patrol article

Hey guys - been a little longer than expected since my last update, with work, work......and more work, keeping me busy.

But I've come across an entertaining article about the Doom Patrol, from Second Printing. It even pinpoints a reason why it's hard for Doom Patrol to survive in this current comics marketplace. Enjoy!

More Doom Patrol goodness.......

Another month, another positive Doom Patrol review at Dangermart!

And a short, yet positive review, from Rapid Eye Movement.

And last, but certainly not least, a shout-out to another Doom Patrol blog that I've enjoyed visiting since I first found it - the My Greatest Adventure blog. Doug has some regular features, including "Elasti-Woman Friday", and has access to a lot of Doom Patrol resources. It's truly great to see all this support for Doom Patrol!

Doom Patrol #10 preview (and more!)

DOOM PATROL #10

Written by KEITH GIFFEN • Art by MATTHEW CLARK & RON RANDALL - Cover by MATTHEW CLARK & LIVESAY

What looks like a life-size statue washes up on the shore of Oolong Island and all hell breaks loose – the Porcelain Assassin has arrived! The Doom Patrol focus all their efforts on fending her off, but the fight isn’t nearly as brutal as the revelation of who sent her!

DOOM PATROL: WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE TP

Written by KEITH GIFFEN • Art by MATTHEW CLARK, JUSTINIANO & LIVESAY • Cover by MATTHEW CLARK

The first issues of The Doom Patrol’s new series are collected as the team deals with a black hole and comes face to face with death in a BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in.

This TPB solicit contradicts previous information from Amazon, i.e. no Metal Men or G'Nort. I'm assuming it will comprise of 6 or 7 issues? Probably 6, once variant covers and extras are included......

Brave and the Bold #34

Don't miss this first chapter of a most unexpected two-parter! This wouldn't be the first instance where the Legion of Super-Heroes have gone back in time looking to add to their ranks. But the sheer craziness the Doom Patrol will bring into their lives just might make that it the last time... and the Legion's mission will lead to some rather unexpected consequences next issue!

Another review for #7!

Just a quick one:

Dangermart gave a positive review of #7, as they did with the previous issue. Great to see even more positivity regarding this series!

DOOM PATROL #7 Review

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Another top-notch issue from Giffen, Clark and the DP team!

After a two-part crossover into the darker side of the DC Universe (blending seamlessly with the bigger story), and a one-off covering the history of the Doom Patrol, the creative team hit the ground running with the latest issue! We knew from solicitations, and the previous cover - which wasn't the one released - that Crazy Jane was returning...... but there was no previous mention made of Danny the Street/World, Thayer Jost, the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, or some other little cameos that we were blessed with.

In an industry where surprises have generally lost their nature, those of us who worship this little corner of the DCU were certainly given a few to appreciate. I doubt anyone predicted the business-focused founder of his own Doom Patrol, from the Arcudi run, would show up again in the modern DCU! Even several months ago, I would've assumed Crazy Jane and Danny would've remained in their little pocket of memory, tucked away in a quiet corner of Grant Morrison's library. And how long has it been since we last saw the AVM-Man??

It's also interesting to see several threads of storyline starting to converge. The purple creatures from #1 make an appearance, and it seems that Thayer Jost may not be exactly what he seems, while he puts plans in motion to unite several Doom Patrol foes. Could a new Brotherhood be on the rise?

And after all that, we only get to see the regular crew for a page or two. But the rapport between the characters shines stronger than ever.

Despite a few pages of rather sparse artwork (by a second artist) that contrasted a little with Matthew Clark's detailed work, I have no complaints. Another excellent issue. 4.5/5

Doom Patrol #7 preview

Courtesy of DC Universe: The Source, here's a look at the first few pages of Doom Patrol #7, including a new cover, based on an unused promo pic from #1!

You might notice an important Doom Patrol character from a decade ago.......and I'm not referring to Crazy Jane.......

Full review of #7 coming later today.
