3.0

I knew I wasn't going to get a Grant Morrison weirdness level experience with this new (to me) version of Doom Patrol, but this was just relatively standard superheroics with just a tiny twist of weird, and that just wasn't enough. The sentient black hole that takes over people was a neat idea, but it never went far enough for me.
At least this volume chooses to acknowledge the past iterations of this series, not least in the section at the end concentrating on Larry "Negative Man" Trainor, which goes through his past in roughly chronological order and at least filled in a few gaps.

Art is okay, but again just standard for superhero stories.
