A mixed bag. At times, Way seems to be making a conscious effort to break with Morrison; see the hilarious first story with all the sparring with Caulder. Then there are all the moments that read like pastiches of Morrison devices, down to some very distinctive panel layouts that were common in the Morrison run of Doom Patrol. I'm not sure I'm convinced to dip into Volume 3.

Wonderfully fucking meta-weird as before. If anything, I prefer this Way-era to the Morrison-era. Same attitude with less to prove. Derrington's art is awesome, the new side characters are super interesting, and the roller coaster never stops. Good stuff.

A fine continuation of volume 1. Way keeps introducing fun new elements to the Doom Patrol universe and brings back things from Morrison’s run to mostly good effects. Storytelling feels a bit haphazard and rushed here, but not too bad and still entertaining (other than the final D&D issue which I didn’t really care for).

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.Having read all of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol in between volumes of Gerard Way's Doom Patrol, I can really see his influence on display here. 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...

Gerard Way is such a great successor to Grant Morrison for this title.

Not as strong as the first volume. There was a lot going on in this volume that it's kinda hard keeping track. Cool to see the Brotherhood of Nada, which proved more of a love-hate thing because not much depth and development was thrown at it. Well, a lot was left unresolved, let's hope the next volume redeems this one.

While delightfully absurdist, meta, and psychedelic, the story arcs are becoming inconsequential and mired in their own madness.

4.5 stars because of the release schedule...but man was this a trip!World: I 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 is utterly bonkers and fantastic. This is a full circle tale from what we saw with the first issue of the young animal version of Doom Patrol and the pieces that all com...

5Crazy volume. Just one crazy book. The first volume introduced bizarre characters and a unique storyline, but this dials it to 11. Gerard Way took his time with this volume, delayed issues at the time, but it was well worth it. Doom Patrol is the flag ship of the Young Animal imprint, so I did wait until last to read this. Why the 5?It's just insane. I won't spoil this volume, but if you had issues with the story from number one, you won't be returning for volume 2. I loved this volume the most...

If anyone can reach Morrison's surreal approach to superheroics - it will be Gerard Way. His Doom Patrol is stacking up really well against Morrison's. Looking forward to the next volume.

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 is definitely not a series for those who need things to make sense.

a step down from the previous volume on all accounts. there were suddenly furries, plot holes, and the whole thing felt like it was on drugs? at times it was barely comprehensible, but then stuff was explained cleverly. it was still creative i guess.i can’t tell if any of it was supposed to be metaphorical because honestly most the time I was trying to just follow what was happening.didn’t live up to my expectations but still has redeeming value.

This was a jumbled, confusing, at times incoherent, mess. It is trying exceptionally hard to be trippy, at the expense of any semblance of a plot. I enjoyed the first volume quite a bit so this was a pretty big letdown. I haven't read Morrison's Doom Patrol (it's on my list), but I get the feeling it's almost a requirement to understand any of what's happening here. I thought the point of Young Animal was to bring these weird characters to a new generation. That's great as long as it doesn't req...

There are no doubts, Gerard Way 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...

The new Doom Patrol (v6) continues to be Morrison-esque in all the best ways. So we get more weirdness here and some returns to old Morrison characters (like his screwed-up Chief and the Brotherhood of Dada). But Way also creates fun new characters (like The Disappointment) and reimagines Morrison's work for the modern day.Mind you, this story still has weaknesses. The characters continue to be somewhat weak, particularly the Brotherhood of Nada who are entirely ciphers. And we don't see the sam...

I enjoyed this more than the first volume; perhaps everything being set up just helped the action get on its way, and the meta-narrative was entertaining.

A worthy successor to Grant Morrison. 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 to life. I'm 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...

Please tell me there's more to come of the Reynolds family in the Daemonscape....

Everybody's favorite Doom Patrol villain Mr. Nobody returns with a plan to use food additives to spread his particular brand of insanity, but this time he's not putting together a Brotherhood of Dada. This time, there's Nada. A fun, silly story about stories ensues, and fun is had by all, except those who don't survive.The Reynolds Family's adventures in the Demonscape is the best single issue story that I've read in a long while, and I especially adore the cut out paper dolls at the end.
