Doom Patrol was hot loving garbage that missed everything about the themes of Morrison/Case run and tried to play it with random zany bullshit instead. For all idiotic mission statements about "the new fringe of comics", it just reads stale compared even to random issues of 20+ years old vertigo titles.

I don't think not being an imitation should earn you anything when you still tie yourself to classic characters and ignore any emotional component. It mostly feels like any failed remake of a John Carpenter movie, just a coat of modern gloss on a hackwork exploiting a recognizable "IP". John Arcudi run had two issues drawn by Seth Fisher which is always a plus.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Actually it was great. And you are putting on some heavily rose-tinted glasses if you don't think the Morrison run was full of random zany bullshit like, all the loving time. There are periods of the Morrison run where it's so very clearly Morrison making it up as he goes along it becomes nearly unreadable. It was always either funny, clever or had a thematic point. You won't ever see anything like BEARD HUNTER from the aging emo band vocalist who doesn't have a sincere thought in his skull.

Equilibrium posted:Gerard Way already did his take on a Morrison-like Doom Patrol, it's called Umbrella Academy and it's good. Doom Patrol 2016 is a self-conscious attempt to do something different without retreading the same ground. What exactly that is remains to be seen after all of 1 issue. Umbrella Academy was good because it had actual emotional core around a broken family and a very competent artist to establish a unique visual style. Both things are missing from this title. quote:I don't even know what could inspire this kind of vitriol. Are you having a bad week? looking forward to corey taylor discovering a passion for comic writing.
