Oof and ugh. This one feel even more flat for me. It just felt “kiddish” but not in the right ways. Turns out, for me at least, what makes Doom Patrol, so good is the fact GM was not afraid to tackle some really heavy issues while entertaining you and forcing you to think. 

This arc didn't even have the homage feel as the previous Volume One, it was all over the place. The brevity hurts it deeply; parts I knew that should have been major just felt like a drop in a very empty bucket.

I really enjoy GW's other artistic endeavors, including MCR and reading Umbrella Academy (Which I enjoyed much more than this run) but this was just too little too late for me.

I think I need to just watch the tv show with how much knowledge I lack in the history of 'Doom Patrol.'

I feel really torn about this book. There are elements of absolute brilliance in it, but the author doesn't seem to want to take the time to explore any of them. This is a speed run of wild ideas that could have been ten times as long (or featured one tenth the plot threads) and would probably have been better for it.

Still, it is a fun ride, and if you are craving more Doom Patrol, it is definitely Doom Patrol.
