And the questions here will be:
Is this your first time reading Doom Patrol Comics?
What did you think about the story and what are some cool memories and discussion you have about what you just read from these 6 Issues?
Any all cool things you’d like to share and/or discuss put them in the below and…Let’s Discuss! :robotman_dp:
This month’s selection include the heart of Doom Patrol season 1. The Mr. Nobody and the Brotherhood of Dada, the Book of the Unwritten, and Jane’s Undground in disarray and threatened.
The painting that ate Paris is still fun, and trip. You can definitely hear Alan Tudyk’s voice with Mr. Nobody. I hate to compare the two, but just can’t help it. By elevating Mr. Nobody to the big bad of season 1, the show really elevated him as a character and his menace to the entire universe, much less the Doom Patrol. I also like how the show’s seasonal climax centers around the painting in a way the book does not.
I’ve got no images from Jane’s underground. The writing there is just too powerful and the damage done too great. This is one area where I thought the book had a greater emotional impact that the show. But, that may be in part from having seen this play out in a live action version. I know some people complain about Crazy Jane as a character. But with what that little girl went through, that’s like complaining someone’s too slow because they have a broken leg. Which is really really underselling what I mean. Being completely broken and screwed up is the only way she could survive.
