This has all the strange trippyness of the Vertigo run but still relates a quirky, fun story that you can actually follow. Nick Derington's pop art works perfectly with the absurdist stories. Tamra Bonvillain vibrant colors bring the book Doom Patrol: Book 2 life. I' very tempted now to go back and read Grant Morrison's run straight into Way's. Way references the Vertigo run often but it's been 20 years since I've read it so I'm sure I missed a lot of the callbacks. The only A worthy successor to Grant Morrison. The Doom Patrol: Book 2 knock I'd give the book is the release schedule. This clearly leads into which already came out in trade 6 months ago. If you're going to plan an event, the books leading up to it better come out on time. Jun 30, Donovan rated it liked it. While delightfully absurdist, meta, and psychedelic, the story arcs are becoming inconsequential and mired in their own madness. Apr 29, Wing Kee rated it it was amazing. World: Doom Patrol: Book 2 love the art, Derrington is one of my favorite current artists and he brings so much life and character and style for the book. This book would be nothing without his art setting the tone and the look for this insane world, I love it. The world building Doom Patrol: Book 2 utterly bonkers and fantastic. This is a full circle tale from what we saw with the first issue of the Doom Patrol: Book 2 animal version of Doom Patrol Doom Patrol: Book 2 the pieces that all com 4. This is a full circle tale from what we saw with Doom Patrol: Book 2 first issue of the young animal version of Doom Patrol and the pieces that all come together to bring us a weird insane trippy world that is so insane it's hard to describe, you either think it's brilliant or you think it's just rubbish Doom Patrol: Book 2 think it's brilliant. Story: If this book had Doom Patrol: Book 2 came out before Milk Wars this story would have made my explode. I loved Milk Wars and the against current norms and general embracing of weirdness and the fringe that that book was and this was the story that should have lead up to it. The Retconn and The Disappointment was started here and if I had Doom Patrol: Book 2 context with which this story established Milk Wars would have been even better, but alas the release schedule really messed that up. That being said this arc is insane and meta and also so much a love letter to Morrison's run of Doom Patrol that I can't help but love it. Are we trying to judge this arc and this series with logical eyes or are we looking at it as a celebration of just plain weird and odd and the other that makes this so special. The meta text with fan fiction and Cliff really made me gasp and the ideas behind Terry and of course the Morrison created Mister Nobody and the Brotherhood of is utterly fantastic. If you go back and read the Magical Bus arc from Morrison you will find the framework and Doom Patrol: Book 2 that is found in this iteration, the Brotherhood of the Nada. This story is not for everyone, if you don't want your stories to be trippy and you want a straight logical story with set rules than this book will make you nuts. But if you want an acid trip of a book that's so different and so creative and you see that there are no rules and the spirit of Nobody is in every fibre of this book, you will love it. Then there's the Retconn and Disappointment stuff which will further drive you insane with happiness or annoyance. I love this book and this story. Characters: Bonkers. I don't want to ruin anything for readers but the cast of characters are amazing, insanely original and nostalgic at the same time. From Spacecase to Rita Farr this book has some of the most unbelievable characters, add to that the banter, perfect. I can't say anything else cause the heart of this book are the characters and they are amazing. I am biased, I just simply love the Doom Patrol and the weirder and more unconventional they are the more I love them. This is a manifesto for fringe and weird and just unorthodox storytelling that perfectly encapsulates what the Young Animal line has been doing. I love this book! Onward to the next book! Jun 21, Drown Hollum rated it it was amazing. There are no doubts, is a main eventer. With his Doom patrol, he does more than follow in Morrison's footsteps. He creates a world and tone uniquely his own, and weaves a comprehensive narrative through all the madness. The story is wildly meta, and trusts the reader an awful lot to put things together, but even if you didn't have a clue what was going on, you would still love reading this book between the snappy dialogue and gorgeous weird-scapes of Nick Derrington. But again, the st There are no doubts, Gerard Way is a main eventer. But again, the story IS here, and really pretty damn thrilling as Way's new reality defines its parameters. Wish the schedule was tighter, but happy there's been no lapse in quality. Keep it coming boyz. Oct 07, Artemy rated it really liked it Shelves: dccomicsdc-vertigo. A fine continuation of volume 1. May 27, Diz rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. The only way that I can describe this is that it is bonkers. The story is meta and hardly holds together at all. Despite all this, I really enjoyed it. It's zany in a way that is likable. I particularly enjoyed it when Niles Caulder shows up and tries to take control of the Doom Patrol. Things get really weird even for the Doom Patrol after that. This Doom Patrol: Book 2 definitely not a series for those who need things to make sense. Dec 28, Chris Lemmerman rated it liked it Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. Just when things look like they might finally make sense, Casey and the Doom Patrol run afoul of the Brotherhood of Nada, lead by the infamous Mister Nobody! You can't make this stuff up, I swear. This arc is almost a re-telling of the old Brotherhood of Dada storylines from Morrison's run, with Doom Patrol: Book 2 different characters thrown in for fun, so if you liked Just when things look like they might finally make sense, Casey and the Doom Patrol run afoul of the Brotherhood of Nada, lead by the infamous Mister Nobody! This arc is almost a re-telling of the old Brotherhood of Dada storylines from Morrison's run, with some different characters thrown in for fun, so if you liked that, you'll like this, I guess? I think reading this volume in trade will be a lot more of an experience than reading it in single issues was - the release schedule was all over the shop, so being able to read the complete story in one go will likely enhance the impact. That still doesn't explain why issue 12 is completely unrelated to the rest of Doom Patrol: Book 2 run bar a tangential character appearance and a reference to the Milk Wars , but I think DC were just trying to make sure the trade was 6 issues before they released it by this point, to be honest.

Though they are super-powered beings, and though their foes are bent on world domination, all that is conventional ends there.

Doom Patrol is a team from DC Comics. Doom Patrol has appeared in different incarnations in multiple comics, and have been adapted to other media. Although not one of the most popular superhero teams, they have never been out of print for more than a few years since their introduction. Doom Patrol are a group of super-powered misfits whose "gifts" caused them alienation and trauma. The team remained the featured characters of My Greatest Adventurewhich was soon re-titled Doom Patrol from issue 86 March onwards. The original series was canceled in when Drake killed the team off in the final issue, Doom Patrol September—October Since then, there have been six Doom Patrol series, with as Doom Patrol: Book 2 only character to appear in all of them. Doom Patrol first appeared inwhen the DC title My Greatest Adventurean adventure anthology, was being converted to a superhero format. The task, assigned to writer Arnold Drake, was to create a team that fit both of these formats. With fellow writer and artist Bruno Premiani, he created Doom Patrol, a team of super-powered misfits who were regarded as freaks by the world Doom Patrol: Book 2 large. Drake and Haney devised the plot for the issue together, and then each scripted half the issue independently Drake the first half, Haney the second. The members of the Doom Patrol often quarrelled and suffered personal problems, something that was already common among superhero teams published by Marvel Comicsbut was novel among the DC lineup. The also included the intelligent gorilla Monsieur Mallah and Madame Rougewho was given powers similar to those of Elongated Manwith the extra attribute of a malleable face, allowing her to impersonate various people. As the popularity of the book waned, Doom Patrol: Book 2 publisher cancelled it. This was the first time in history that a cancelled title was concluded with the of its cast. He finished the only out of friendship for Boltinoff. A proper Doom Patrol revival did not occur untilnine years after the original's demise. These similarities ultimately led series writer Arnold Drake to argue that the concept of the X-Men must have been based on the Doom Patrol. Over the years I learned that an awful Doom Patrol: Book 2 of writers and artists were working surreptitiously Doom Patrol: Book 2 [Marvel and DC]. So over the years, I began to feel that Stan had more lead time than I realized. He may well have had four, five, or even six months. In an interview shortly before his death inDrake took a more moderate position, stating that while it is possible Lee took his ideas from Doom Patrol, he could also have arrived at a similar concept independently: "Since we were working in the same vineyards, and if you do enough of that stuff, sooner or later, you will kind of look like you are imitating each Doom Patrol: Book 2. The original group were and freaks, while my new guys were just comic-book superheroes. I was young and inexperienced and new to writing, with about two years under my belt before getting the gig. The new team is led by Arani Desaithe 's previously-unseen wife, who recreates the Doom Patrol to protect herself from General Immortus. Robotman is the only survivor of the original Doom Patrol, and his ruined body is replaced by a new, futuristic one built by Dr. Will Magnus. The Negative Spirit now possesses Russian cosmonaut Valentina Vostokmaking her Negative Woman although its does not render her radioactiveand she is able to transform her own body into its form rather than sending it out under control. This new version of the team did not receive its own series following its three-issue tryout. Kupperberg said this was most likely due to poor sales, as even in the months prior to the DC Implosion he heard no word of a new Doom Patrol series. His first storyline here had him, the , and a new Brotherhood of Evil battle and General Zahlthe murderers of the original Doom Patrol, who died in the battle. The two-part Doom Patrol: Book 2 included all of their appearances from 80 to their final appearance before their s return. Kupperberg's enthusiasm for the Doom Patrol remained, and in addition to writing some of the team's post- appearances, he eventually wrote a proposal for a new Doom Patrol series. Kupperberg later commented, "I like Erik's work, but I don't think he was exactly right for the Doom Patrol. To tell the truth, I don't think either Erik or myself were happy with the arrangement, but we did our best to Doom Patrol: Book 2 it work. In retrospect, Larsen felt that this practice was overstepping his bounds, but said the editor never objected to it. This incarnation was a more conventional superhero series than the original volume. After the first 18 issues and various crossovers and annualsKupperberg was replaced by Grant Morrison and the comic was no longer submitted to the CCA for approval relieving the stories and images depicted of several constraintsstarting with issue Kupperberg agreed to help Morrison by writing out characters Morrison did not want to use: Celsius and Scott Fischer died before issue 18—Celsius was killed in an explosion in DC Comics' " Invasion! Tempest gave up fieldwork to become the team's physician. Conversely, Morrison picked up a throw-away character from DP 14, who was slipped into the art on the last page of 18 to set up Morrison's use: Dorothy Spinner is an ape-faced girl with powerful "imaginary friends. Eleanor Poole, to create a multigender multiracial Doom Patrol: Book 2 entity known as Rebis. The new writer introduced some new characters to the Doom Patrol: Book 2, including the multiple personality-afflicted and sentient neighborhood Danny the Street. Morrison used DC's Invasion crossover to restart the book. He incorporated bizarre societieselements of Dadasurrealismand the cut-up technique pioneered by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. The original creator, Arnold Drake, said Morrison's was the only subsequent run to reflect the intent of the original series. Over the course of the series, Morrison dedicated some issues to parody and homage. Issue 42 featured the origin of Flex Mentallowho was supposed to be the character in the Charles Atlas ad. A belated lawsuit from the Charles Atlas Company showed that DC was protected under Fair Use doctrine in addition to an expired statute of limitations. Issue 45 parodied Marvel's Punisher and in a satire called the Beard Hunter, a perpetually clean-shaven serial killer who murders bearded men and targets the Chief. Morrison's villains were extremely unusual and strange, even by Doom Patrol's eccentric standards. For example:. In issue 57, it was revealed that the Chief had secretly caused the Doom Patrol: Book 2 which turned Cliff, Larry Trainor, and Rita Farr into super beings. Chief stated he caused them to gain their powers or in the case of Robotman, destroyed his original body in order to obtain his brain to put into his robot body because of his hatred for them. He felt they were spoiled and narcissistic as well as shallow individuals, and that by turning them into "freaks," he could "improve" them as human beings. He was upset over how the experiments performed on her like with Elasti-Girl only gave her super-powers and did not turn her into a freak. Having been exposed as a villain, Caulder planned to unleash nanobots into the world, hoping to create a catastrophe that would "improve" humanity, regardless of the carnage it would cause. But Caulder's plan was hijacked by the Candlemaker, a violent cosmic horror who is freed by Dorothy in exchange for his resurrection of Tempest who Candlemaker re-killed. Candlemaker then decapitated Caulder and sought to use the nanobots to enslave humanity. Dorothy, Crazy Jane, and Robotman freed by the former two defeated Candlemaker with help from the new reborn version Doom Patrol: Book 2 Rebis. Rebis briefly left the team to mate with a double of himself in order to be "reborn" in a new body as part of a cosmic ritual. However, Doom Patrol: Book 2 the battle, Jane was sent flying into a portal Doom Patrol: Book 2 landed in a world without heroes. Forcibly institutionalized for her Doom Patrol: Book 2 issues in Doom Patrol: Book 2 new world, the final issue of Morrison's run had Robotman locate Jane as she Doom Patrol: Book 2 about to kill herself and take her to live with Cliff within the confines of Danny the Street. Morrison left the book with issue 63, and took over writing the book the next issue. Pollack's first issue was also the first under the new Vertigo imprint of DC Comics although the trade paperback editions of Morrison's work do bear the imprint, the original issues did not. Returning characters for Rachel Pollack's run included Cliff Steele, Niles Caulder kept alive by the nanobots, but reduced to a disembodied head, usually kept on a tray filled with iceand Dorothy Spinner. Pollack's run had Dorothy as a primary member of the Patrol; she brought her imaginary friends to her aid in combat. Overall, Pollack's run dealt with issues such as the generation gaphumanityidentitytransgender issuesbisexualityand borrowed elements from Judaism and Kabbalah in the last few issues. The angel Akatriel is used as a major character in the last four issues. The first story arc of her run was called "Sliding in the Wreckage". Cliff's computer brain started to malfunction, and he regressed into Doom Patrol: Book 2 from previous storylines. Dorothy was haunted by African spirits while dealing with living alone in the real world. The Chief was given a new body by Will Magnus, but to atone for his sins, Caulder ripped his head Doom Patrol: Book 2 the body and was kept in cryogenic storage. Meanwhile, the entire Earth had been suffering from random outbreaks of weirdness, contributed by the arrival Doom Patrol: Book 2 something called "The Book of . As the Chief was kept in a cryogenic state, he appeared in the land of the Teiresias as a face carved in a mountain. They warned him that his arrival in this world was causing the craziness in the real world. Throughout the storyline, little people with backward letters for heads had been seen altering people. These people were apparently older version of nanomachines, referred to as "nannos". At the Doom Patrol headquarters, Builder agents attacked, and in the craziness, two of the Teiresias approached Dorothy with a new brain for Cliff, but to insert it she needed the Chief's expertise. In the Teiresias world, nannos "repaired" the Chief so he could live as a severed head. After his awakening, the craziness seemed to stop, and Dorothy, Cliff, and the Chief each realized that they needed to be together. The team relocated to Violet Valley's Rainbow Estates, a house haunted by ghosts of those Doom Patrol: Book 2 died in sexual accidents. There, three new members joined. The Bandage People, George and Marion, who were once two workers for the Builders but managed to escape; and the Inner Child, a manifestation of the ghosts' purity and innocence. Another later newcomer of the team was Kate Godwin, aka Coagulaone of the first transsexual superheroes. A one-time ally of the team called the Identity Addict, who could become different superheroes by shedding her skin like a lizard, integrated herself back into the team while using the False Memory identity to change the team's memories until she was kicked out by Dorothy. Villains that the team fought, besides the Builders, included the and the Crow, two animal spirits Doom Patrol: Book 2 feud Dorothy and Cliff were subsequently pulled into; the Master Cleaner, a being with a human fetus inside a bubble for a head who began "cleaning" the world by stripping it down to nothing and replacing the stolen items, including people, with a paper ticket; and a group of Hassidic healers who called themselves the False Healers and their leader, the Rabbi of Darkness. Toward the end of the series, Doom Patrol: Book 2 Steele's brain became entirely robotic, until Dorothy Spinner used her imaginary friends to "repair" it. Doom Patrol: Book 2 Chief would later die after Doom Patrol: Book 2 to enter the Sephirot or Tree of Life. A new artist, Ted McKeevertook over the artwork for the final 13 issues. Pollack continued writing the title until its cancellation with issue 87, in February This relaunch was not under the Vertigo imprint and returned the title to the mainstream DC universe. The series lasted for 22 issues. Arcudi's storylines revealed what happened to the previous team. Dorothy Spinner had had a mental breakdown and accidentally killed most of Doom Patrol: Book 2 members still with the Doom Patrol: Book 2 at the end of the Pollack run. She fell into a coma, but subconsciously created a new Robotman, who became a part of a Doom Patrol: Book 2 Doom Patrol. This Doom Patrol was a company-owned team, owned and operated by Thayer Jost and Jost Enterprises for a while before working independently. The Robotman that Dorothy created faded away when it realized what it actually was, but the other teammates searched for Cliff Steele, who became a member of the Doom Patrol yet again.
