A fun manic escape that’s hard to follow but that’s the fun of it. The confusion kept me from loving though. Think I might dive into the original Grant Morrison series before I return to these new ones.

Overall, I appreciate what Gerard Way was attempting to do here. There's a ton of references to GM's run of Doom Patrol, and mercifully I read this right on the heels of that run, so I did pick up on a lot of them, I feel. 

That said, the art and the story, it just lacks the heart of GM's run. I'm glad I read them, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't mind-blowing or as deeply philosophical as GM's. Felt more like an homage rather than something meant to stand on its own two feet.

This was an amazing and bizarre chapter in my comic reading experience. It inspired me and went to some of the strangest places in the universe.

Well, that was surreal. And fun. But not quite my speed.
