Doom Patrol Vol. 1: Brick by Brick by Gerard Way
2.0
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.
