Series: Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol (#1)
Doom Patrol was one of the books that Grant Morrison made his name on, and it is so very Morrison. Big, ambitious, strange ideas, flawed and likable heroes, execution that's best described as variable, and compulsively readable. Yes, it's Morrison. But since this is still just the beginning, I know ...
Really really good stuff. I wish there were more fringe dwelling superheroes like these out there.Almost thirty years on, this one is a lot of fun, in a twisted and meta kind of way.
Nearly gave this two stars, because the way Crazy Jane was handled annoyed me, but Orqwith and the Scissormen brought it back up.
Pretty sure I read this last year.
Doom Patrol gets overshadowed in Grant Morrison's body of work by Invisibles, Animal Man, JLA, and X-Men, but it is definitely some of his most inventive and craziest work. Crazy Jane is one of Morrison's best original characters.
