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......
About a month ago I mentioned something about this trade in a comment to a post in the mga80/Doom Patrol blog (Doug). At the time I noted that the G'nort reference sounded especially fishy, despite Giffen repeatedly working him into the JLI stories in the 80's. My speculation then and now is that DC fed Amazon that copy to see which other retail websites would 'poach' the copy in an effort to secure advance orders at full price without having placed any orders with DC. Customers waiting for their copies would then be reluctant to order sale priced copies through Amazon and other legit dealers, which is exactly where the 'poachers' would obtain their stock.
