“The Death of the Doom Patrol.” During a training session, the Doom Patrol are called to the control room by the Chief, who explains that he is disbanding the group! Plus, “60 Sinister Seconds!”
Welcome everyone to another wonderful week of Doom Patrol Club! This week we’ll be reading more of the beginning issues of the group! And learning more of their strange adventures! Here’s the link below to jump in! Doom Patrol Comics #98-103
You’ll have until these dates here-----> 2020-03-16T05:00:00Z → 2020-03-22T05:00:00Z
Once that’s done, as always put what you think down below! Love to hear what you thought about it and…Let’s Discuss!
Thanks for faithfully posting these weekly. I will continue to shovel out from 3 weeks behind. It’s funny how much longer these gems take for me to read than modern comics do.
Genetically I don’t know how that works. Pa is frightened by Iceberg Lettuce which is strange enough, but it changes his DNA? I like mister dissertation about penicillin to try and get out a slam.
This is an insult “Hey, snot boy!” See that’s how it’s done.
Hey Doomsters,
Couple of issues in, but thought I’d drop a note. Of course our big development is the introduction of Craig, the Beast Boy. I like the intro, though I think the “Cliff is a jerk” thing goes a touch too far, but I guess it is 1960s comics. It does give the team a new dimension. I’m still enjoying the more serialized nature of the story telling, particularly the jerk that is Beast Boy’s guardian. Terrible person, but adds an interesting challenge to “Craig” and the DP.
Now the sad news. The main story in #100 leads to the Challengers of the Unknown. Unfortunately, Challengers jumps from I think issue 8 to 82, which is 1959 to 1977. So, the rest of that story isn’t here
More issues info. Searching for Suicide Squad info, I found two more DP stories not in their main title that do not show up in a search of Doom Patrol series
Finished for the week. It’s interesting that Mento and Gar are heavily involved but are not official members, yet. Clearly, Gar was added for the kid sidekick role of giving younger readers someone to identify with, but he’s sure not Robin telling Batman how awesome he is. Waiting to see what happens with the whole guardian tryin to kill him thing.
Just finished with these, continuing to really like these issues. Adding Beast Boy into the picture adds some fun dynamics, though I agree with @biff_pow that having him keep his hair and ears when he transforms is just straight up Nightmare Fuel.
I also had a thought – it’s funny how in the 60s, Gar has this curmudgeonly relationship with a human with more metal parts than flesh that calls him “lettuce head,” and in the 80s, Gar has this curmudgeonly relationship with a human with more metal parts than flesh that calls him…“salad head.”
