Hey there, Dennis! Glad to have you back!

My question is, were there any parts of this series you were particularly proud of? Any moments of “oh yeah, I totally just WROTE that”?

Doom Patrol is often considered a small team of misfits and outcasts. How has their unfamiliar and — dare I say — inhuman nature affected the plot and characters within the series?

Hello :wave: Welcome Back

My question is was there any ideas or things you wanted to do with Doom Patrol that you didn’t get the chance to do?

Hi, Dennis! The Doom Patrol has often been used as an allegory for the queer experience, especially through Morrison and Pollack’s runs on the series. Was that something you had in mind on your own Doom Patrol run?

When writing doom patrol do you feel like there is anything that was off limits, or with them being who they are was it an anything goes experience? (Obviously no hate speech or anything like that)

Is there any other book you’d like to work on in DC?

Apparently this contest doesn’t begin for another 10 years and yet it ended two months ago! :laughing:

Thanks for bringing the Q&A back and for bringing Dennis Culver back! I’ll have to give some thought to what one question I’d most like to ask him and will edit this post before April 6th to submit it in time.

EDIT: When creating a character like Degenerate/Subject 99 in Unstoppable Doom Patrol how much do you communicate what you think the character should look like and how much do you leave up to the artist you’re working with - in this case Chris Burnham?

If you continued with a volume 2, where did you envision taking the Doom Patrol next?

Who was your favorite doom patrol member to write? And what was your favorite issue? I absolutely lived the issue with star-bro and the therapy issue.

Two Doom Patrol related questions

  1. Who were your favorite and least favorite characters to write?

  2. Do you think you’ll be given the opportunity to write a second mini?

Much love and congrats on the amazing book!

Hello
I was wondering since this run had a lot of reoccurring members and some now ones who were you most excited to bring back or is there some one else that you would of liked to bring but couldn’t? And who was your favorite new addition to the world of doom patrol?
