Doom Patrol 2

This volume is my least favorite of the 3 Grant Morrison DP volumes and that is saying a lot because these stories are amazing. While Mr. Nobody is almost entirely absent here, Volume 2 digs deeper into abstract mystery and foreshadowing, showing the reality of the Doom Patrol's daily existence and developing relationships. Also, Flex Mentallo is first introduced here in an origin story that really proves first impressions aren't everything. He is far more than a muscle-bound cliche as you will soon learn and there are heartbreaking elements to his story. The highest compliment I can give this volume is that NOTHING you see is pointless and it all lends itself to a very big overarching narrative that is concluded in Volume 3. Read Volume 2, and Volume 3 will reward you for it tenfold. It is not a typical comic book at all. Whatever superhero tropes you are used to, you can forget all about them here, but if you're up for a story that makes you think bigger than what it on the page, this is for you. You should read Volume 1 first though or you will be completely lost.

Good

It was a present for my daughter’s boyfriend. He is greatly enjoying it.

nice

Some of Morrison's finest.

If you're looking for the weird stuff in comics this is it without fringe to the what am I reading level. Oh you'll say that to yourself a couple of times but in a good way

I'm writing this review because of the erroneous information shared in many other reviews of Book Two. Book Two does NOT have the Painting that Ate Paris. Book Two does NOT introduce the Brotherhood of Dada. For all the accolades the reviewers place on those two, you'd think they would remember which book holds them. BOOK ONE has those story lines. So you see, I bought this book based on false information.That said, I have been enjoying reading about Danny the Street. It's labeled a transvestite street because it is lined with stereotypically MANLY stores like gun shops, barbers, and the Army/Navy Store, yet Danny has decorated its storefronts with DELICATE flowers and FEMININE window dressings.

It was amazing!!!

Richard Case tries but at this point he just wasn't very good. The Scrip outstrips the art by some margin. Grant Morrison was amongst the worlds best creators at this time. making waves with his stories and pushing the boundaries of mainstream comics. Richard Case was a young artist just staring out and although he's game for anything he's just nowhere near technically skilled enough or original enough to match Morrison. he was only just good enough to pass for a pro at the time

Doom partial has to be one of the craziest comic book stories. The Doom patrol exist in the DC universe but are left to do all the crazy tasks.

No literalmente, pero las ideas y conceptos que propone Morrison en este segundo tomo son una verdadera locura... en el buen sentido. Las historias recogidas son realmente exigentes para con el lector; la lectura no es lineal ni directa y, para comprender realmente lo que se acaba de experimentar, suele ser necesario darle algunas vueltas al coco, pero se hace muy satisfactorio una vez entendido.

I got the 3 books in the grant Morrison doom patrol collection because the recent tv show piqued my interest in the characters. While it’s a very different doom patrol then the televised version, the existential and often confusing stories are excellent, and it’s a fun read for anyone into graphic novels who enjoyed the tv show-even if it’s completely different from what you may be expecting.

Original a tope pero mu raro. No apto para todos.
