A Love Letter to Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol
Hmmm, I've got mixed feelings about this but am giving it the benefit of the doubt.This is absolutely a follow on to Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol: Crazy Jane, Flex Mentallo, Danny the Street are all in there. Now this is dangerous territory. Some people (me) will remember Morrison's Doom Patrol as one of the great (if variable) 90s comics. It's a really hard act to follow. Others will wander what to make of bizarre references to something over 20 years old.Way's take has it's only voice - it's more cheerful has some new characters, and it's dong well, but to be honest I'm not yet convinced. It feels like the pacing's rushed, character's are introduced and issues resolved before they have a chance to build any tension - in particular with a Crazy Jane subplot which is far too quick and needs far more build given it's a character we won't have seen for so long.I'll keep reading based on Way's earlier - great - work on the Umbrella Academy - and the hope it can get to that level

Fantastically Good
Instantly one of the best comics I've ever read. Way's writing and Derington's art complement each other so well, and the weirdness/excellence of design is incredible.

Weirdness softened.
vol 1 of the new DC Animal version of Doom Patrol written by Gerald Way. The Grant Morrison DP run is the pinnacle of comic books in my eyes, so i was very wary of the new one that continues his version of the DP universe. Im happy to say that i'm enjoying, its very gentle compared to Morrison's who played tricks and hammered with your senses with his Dada and Psychedelic brilliance. This have a more sedate way of dealing with similar themes from both the storytelling and the art, re-introducing old characters in interesting ways and and a new bright spark in Casey Brinkes. It could do with a little more pop at times but its holding my interest. I shall be ordering Vol 2.

Si te gustó la serie no dudes en comprarlo
Way le da una vuelta a estos personajes que saltaron a la fama gracias a Morrison. No es una historia superheroica como tal pero se ubica en el mismo universo que los New 52.

Charming, fun, gorgeous, refreshing, and unique
This book is jam-packed with wonderful ideas, a lovably unique cast, and an over-the-top world that all comes together in a perfect, zany, package. The story is intricate and strange, but never too confusing to follow (and all makes perfect sense in the end). The ride from start to end is bliss. This is the most fun comic I have read in years. Gerard Way's writing is clever and personal, weird, but joyful. Nick Derington's art and Tamra Bonvillains' colors are magical, full of life and energy. The lettering is by the one and only Todd Klein, and he (as always) brings his A++++ game and embraces the weird this book offers up.For fans of the show, this is a perfect place to start.For long-time Doom Patrol readers, it brings everything full circle. It continues things from where the Keith Giffen and Matthew Clark run left off, resurrects ideas and concepts from the Morrison run, and brings the characters/world into exciting, new territory. It's so nice to have the Doom Patrol back! Very happy they left the N52 version of Danny, Niles, Rita, Cliff, etc behind.

Un retour réussi !
Excellente continuation du run de Morrison et Rachel Pollack , qui réussi à respecter l'esprit weird, deglingué et inventif du comics Vertigo mais en l'adaptant à notre époque avec une sensibilité d'écriture propre a Gérard Way.
