'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

The multiverse contains many stories, and Doom Patrol #1 contains a multiverse. In one universe of this multiverse, Casey Brinke is an ambulance driver who is great at her job and has a lousy, judgemental roommate. In another universe, Cliff Steele, a.k.a. Robotman from the original Doom Patrol, fights a war that ends with him launching missiles, destroying that universe. Oh, and Cliff Steele's universe may or may not exist in a gyro that Casey's partner is enjoying a well-deserved break. Her partner Sam even uses the gyro as a metaphor for the multiverse; "We think we know this gyro, but we don't know everything. What's going on in there? Endless possibilities? Good versus evil--?" So, quite literally, Doom Patrol #1 contains a multiverse and Gerard Way, Nick Derington and Tamra Bonvillain are our guides to these brave new worlds.

Doom Patrol #1 is an issue that doesn't want to make it easy for you. Using Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run as their spiritual template, Way and Derington introduce a lot of different concepts that are hard to find the connective tissue of. Casey and Cliff's stories are only two of the many stories that are beginning here. But Casey's story is immediately the one that we need to pay attention to as hers is the story that all the others are revolving around. She's the center of this multiverse and even she doesn't understand what's happening to her as her newest roommate seems to blow up her old roommate. And how does that relate to the apparent death of a god (a brick to the head, don't you know?) or aliens wanting to use a sentient street to supply their fast food dynasty? While a key may be hidden somewhere in this issue, Doom Patrol #1 is asking a lot of questions that we'll probably get answers to sooner or later.

Way is writing in full Morrison mode here. The labyrinth-like nature of his story recalls 1989's Doom Patrol #16, where Morrison and Richard Case transmuted a superhero team into some absurd statement about the nature of our stories and art. Way's issue follows the lead Morrison set over twenty years ago, serving as a tribute to those stories and to others that Morrison has written since, including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it callback to Morrison's work with Greg Rucka, Mark Waid and Geoff Johns on DC's 52. In a lot of ways, Way's Umbrella Academy felt like his tribute to Morrison's Doom Patrol so here he turns fully into writing a continuation of Morrison's (and we'd be remiss if we didn't also include Rachel Pollack's follow-up) run with this group.

Nick Derington's art and Tamra Bonvillain's colors make Way's heady story more grounded. There's a clarity in their artwork that helps make the whole issue much clearer. Sometimes in stories like this, you'll get art as confusing as the story but Derington's artwork has such an ease to it that it makes the story that much clearer and fun. The images of Casey wearing Cliff Steele's jacket after she's had to collect his robotic parts in a box after he was hit by a garbage truck illustrates so much about Casey without having to come out and having some narration say "this is who Casey is." And Bonvillain's colors provides a lot of the character of this issue, with her bright and solid colors making this issue a pure joy to read.

Since their debut in 1963, there have been just a small handful of memorable Doom Patrol runs, the original stories by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani, then Grant Morrison's take on the team in the 1990s. Drake and Premiani's version of the team looked at how a team of misfits became a family. Morrison's stories were his own surreal, dadaistic take on the superhero genre. Way, Derington, and Bonvillain are obviously leaning a lot on the storytelling that Morrison established while remembering that this is a superhero title. Doom Patrol #1 is actually a fairly simple story as the individual parts of this issue are fairly straightforward even if the ways that the many sequences go together remain a mystery.

Letto #1.
Un inizio molto strano per una serie strana, certo meglio non fare confronti con quella morrisoniana ma leggerla per quello che è.
Boh, vedremo, è troppo presto per giudicare 

[Il Paladino del Buonsenso]

Letto il numero 1
Ma quel "Peel" in copertina? Con che coraggio si potrebbe? Ahah!


Comunque la freccia di cupido per me non è ancora stata scoccata con solo questo primo numero (Way senza nulla togliere, non è Morrison), ma si parte decisamente con il piede giusto. La nuova protagonista è simpatica e ho avuto un brivido quando si è presentata Terry None.


Ora devo solo decidermi se continuarlo in spillati, in digitale o aspettare le raccolte.

Review: DOOM PATROL #2

10/10

[Azrael]

If you like your superhero comics on the weird side, this Doom Patrol relaunch won't disappoint. Gerard Way and Nick Derington have even managed to outdo the classic Grant Morrison run in that regard. But for all this issue's focus on surreal imagery and bizarre interludes, Way's writing never loses sight of the misfit characters that make up the Doom Patrol. There's a real pathos to characters like Robotman and Negative Man, and a thrill in seeing the team start to come together again. Meanwhile, ordinary EMT Casey continues to serve as an endearing protagonist, thanks to her plucky attitude and her ability to take all this weirdness in stride. Derington's art style is perfectly matched to Way's writing. Derington has no trouble rendering trippy sci-fi visuals and bizarre flights of fancy, but he can just as easily draw simple humor and character interaction as well. -Jesse

Final Score:

8.6/10

Doom Patrol #2
Written by Gerard Way
Art by Nick Derington and Tamra Bonvillain
Lettering by Todd Klein
Published by DC Comics/Young Animal
Review by David Pepose
'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10

Gerard Way and Nick Derington continue to bring the band back together with their sophomore installment of Doom Patrol — and while their newborn world might be eccentric and chaotic, the inhabitants therein wind up being as personable and charming as it gets.

While the first issue of Doom Patrol was a kaleidoscopic introduction, criss-crossing between loopy EMT Casey Brinke, the philosophies of gyros, and the mystery of Robotman, things come (marginally) closer to Earth this week, and it's that human touch that gives Doom Patrol #2 some meaning beyond Way's trademark cadence and imagery. Opening with an exciting sequence in a jet plane as pilot Larry Trainor has a spooky encounter with cosmic radiation, Way's focus on characters like Robotman and the Negative Man gives Doom Patrol a strong and familiar foundation — whereas Casey is a blank slate, these longtime Doom Patrollers are more of a remix, and a welcome one at that. Robotman, for example, already feels like the heart and soul of this book, as a cranky brawler who tells some extradimensional foes that "I hope you creeps are hungry because you're going to be eating a lot of my s—t." The Negative Man, meanwhile, has a deeper twist beyond his radioactivity — feeding off the negative emotions of others makes Larry Trainor suddenly a far more impish and unpredictable character, one with loads of untapped potential.

By adding these characters to the enigma of Casey Brinke — as well as two other great guest appearances from elsewhere in the Vertigo catalog — Way gives his readers a bit more solid ground to gain their bearings, which makes it much easier to appreciate his whimsical pacing and imagery. It's no secret that Way has been a longtime devotee of Grant Morrison's, and Morrison's voice is a critical part of Doom Patrol's DNA, both past and present — there isn't so much of a focus on a linear story, as much as breaking down a number of stories and patching them together, mosaic-style. Given Way's background as a musician, this use of rhythm might just be second nature — this series is about as far from naturalistic as it gets, but there's something almost lyrical when a car radio asks Casey, "Do you ever wonder if you've already gotten to where you are going?"

While Way might get the lion's share of the accolades for this venture, you'd be sorely mistaken — artist Nick Derington feels like a surrealist cousin of Cameron Stewart, with some wonderfully expressive characters combined with some beautifully detailed settings. The level of detail and deliberation to Derington's work makes me flabbergasted that he wasn't a household name before this book — but at the same time, Doom Patrol feels like such a fitting title for Derington to do some career-making work. In many ways, his take on Robotman reminds me a lot of Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four, particularly the way his jaw and brow are so prominent amongst his orange frame. But that said, Ben Grimm's navy blue briefs have got nothing on Cliff's padded leather jacket, giving the character an awesome sense of personality. Even the Negative Man, an inhuman creature made out of inky tendrils and unsettling geometry, winds up being the perfect logical conclusion to what had been a fairly uncomplicated design initially. Colorist Tamra Bonvillain also deserves some special praise here, with a color palette that is both energetic yet just slightly off-kilter, always showing that there's something not quite right doing on in the Doom Patrol's world.

That's not to say, of course, that Doom Patrol won't be an acquired taste — it will be. There are some who like their comics uncomplicated and action-packed, and for those people, the oblique and roundabout way this series has launched will make this book far from a good fit. But for those of us who like the performative aspect of our comics — seeing the different variations of style and execution beyond simple plot-setting — will find something unique and engaging about Doom Patrol #2. With the return of two characters that have long been missing in action, this is a book that's well worth your time.
