Perhaps it’s because I had a late start getting interested in graphic novels, but I hadn’t heard about Doom Patrol until last year, when I came across the TV series and loved it. A dark, super weird and surreal group of fucked up “heroes” with very strange powers? Yes, please! This was just the antidote to the Avengers and Justice League (boooooring!) that I needed.Grant Morrison’s ideas are really… out there, for lack of a better word. They are also totally genius. He weaves concepts like secre...
Doom Patrol- Crawling from the Wreckage is some really odd stuff. But that's the hallmark of Grant Morrison and the Doom Patrol. This is a weird bunch of guys- from a man with his brain in a metal body, to a multiple personality meta-human and a weird three-in-one person. It is like nothing else I've ever read.The Doom Patrol is being formed and it seems just in time- the Scissormen are coming and the Doom Patrol must stop them. The best way to describe the Doom Patrol is as it's founder says -t...
Doom Patrol is peak Grant Morrison. It's more Grant Morrison than Grant Morrison in the MCR music videos. You've got weird superhero characters with weird superpowers, parallel dimensions, complicated plots, maybe time travel(??), and incredibly bizarre yet cerebral concepts. The characters are all flatly one-dimensional, the conflicts are all overwrought and theatrical to the point of absurdity, and the dialogue is hilariously melodramatic. It's a fun romp with a hell of a good time packed in,
Grant Morrison can be a bit esoteric for my tastes, but this book (as weird as it is, and it is WEIRD) is him at his most fun, accessible, and lucid. The 16 individual issues they crammed into this paperback (comprising several different story arcs) are a breeze to read. Looking forward to picking up the next one and following more of the Doom Patrol's adventures.
If we could extract the weird, acid-trip stuff from Grant Morrison and just hang on to the great ideas and character exploration, I would be the happiest boy at the comics shop.
Weird. Seriously weird. I had heard about the Doom Patrol, but never read it before. It's kind of like someone took the rules of superhero and tossed them up in the air and into a blender. I got this meaty volume at my library, and I read it on the way to and from Illinois. I guess this is sort of a newer incarnation because at the beginner, there is talk about the previous members getting killed off except for Robotman, who can't die, because he's a brain in a robot suit. They pick up some new
Very interesting in that it's completely not a mainstream comic superhero. Definitely offbeat, but still enojyable, characters that have potential to grow on me. A cool start, I look forward to reading the next volume and seeing what I think then.
A depressed human brain in a robot’s body; a woman with 64 different personalities, each with their own superpower; a hermaphrodite spirit; an ape-faced girl with powerful imaginary friends; a guy who shoots energy beams from his arms but prefers to be an office admin rather than a superhero; and a guy in a wheelchair who likes chocolate bars - welcome to the Doom Patrol! Grant Morrison takes the strangest and least likely superheroes and throws them together as an awkward team who have to save
Since I've reviewed Showcase Presents Doom Patrol Volume 1 and Umbrella Academy Volume 1 recently, I thought I'd give the series that fills the gap (of sorts) between them a try, Grant Morrison's renowned Doom Patrol run.The book starts with Robotman in a mental institution after the Patrol's recent hardships. Robotman meets Crazy Jane, a woman with 64 personalities, each with a different super power. Meanwhile, Negative Man undergoes a bizarre transformation when the Negative Spirit merges with...
Ah, Doom Patrol, one of Grant Morrison's most famous DC books, and one of the biggest glaring holes in my knowledge of their work. I was expecting full-on weirdness, and I got a lot of that, but what I wasn't expecting was how straightforward a read this will be — everything is explained! Over-explained, actually, by Morrison's standards. I have no problem with that, though lately I tend to prefer my Morrison books being more on the abstract side, but it's easy to see why so many people love thi...
This is the strangest book I've ever read so far. It's full of parallel universes, paradoxes, scissor men and people with very very very strange powers. For example crazy Jane is part of the doom patrol and has over 68 known personalities inside her, each one with his or her own super power.Saying that and it being written by Morrison, it still works really well, because even though it's completely cuckoo, it's got some great characters and they get thrown into some dire situations.
HOLY SHIT MY PANTS WTF WHAT.....WHAT???!!! Brain Explosion.I remember Doom Patrol, it was different it was weird and the characters were awesome. However I was a kid and my source of comics was my friends and this one I read an issue here or there so I never got to really experience the story in full. That's changed and now I've been blown away.World: The art is fine, it is 80s art and this is what it is, however I will say that the emotions are great and the character designs are wonderful. The...
As “WTF?” as it gets with Grant Morrison. It’s definitely good, it’s just super strange.
