After a brief hiatus, Doom Patrol returns and its a fantastic issue! Not only do we get some gorgeous art from Mike and Laura Allred, we also get to finally see Niles Caulder go back on the field with the team in a very classically inspired Doom Patrol adventure. The ideas really explode out of this issue, and its energy and storytelling are exactly the kind of thing you want out of this title. Its also hysterical! Read on for 11 reasons Doom Patrol #7 is my favorite comic of the week! Read Full Review

Doom Patrol #7 is a wildly entertaining comic in what has been one of the best series in comics since it was relaunched. Way is on fire and you cant miss with the always-amazin-Allreds, so go give this one a read right nowyou wont regret it! Read Full Review

If you are not reading this series, do your self a favor and catch up. Because of delays it's easy to catch up on, the first 6 issues are collected into a trade then all you have to do is get this single issue after that. It's a fun wacky comic book that gives me a smile the whole way through. Read Full Review

So many revivals of Doom Patrol have been well intentioned, but heavily flawed, attempts. Somehow, Gerard Way makes writing this book look easy as $#!+. Read Full Review

This might not be Morrison's Doom Patrol, but its darn close, it's the differences that make this series uniquely Gerard Way's Doom Patrol. It still has the same eclectic tone and chaotic magic that captured this Gen Xer's imagination 29 years ago. Way takes the big chances that, when they pay off, define not just a comic book, but an era. I will be the first to admit Doom Patrol is not for everyone, it may not be for most, but I have to believe that if you pick it up and give it a chance you will be changed, on some level you will begin to question the boundaries that you have placed on your comic book reading choices and maybe you will widen that field of potential pull list pick ups. Issue seven of Doom Patrol is on the racks now, why not try opening your third eye. Read Full Review

Doom Patrol#7 is a statement of this comic's freedom from ordinary superhero storytelling using Niles Caulder as a metaphor with vibrant wit and an idea a minute plot from Gerard Way and transformative art from Mike Allred and Laura Allred. Old white guys usually don't know best even if they can regrow limbs in a jiffy or travel between dimensions, and sometimes trying some weird and creative can be more fun than reading the same, “To me *insert old superhero team name here*” over and over again.

Doom Patrol is back following a brief hiatus, and the wait was well worth it. This issue manages that delicate task of honoring the franchise's roots while looking ahead to the future. Read Full Review

As an interlude, this issue of Doom Patrol was a great read and continues what I believe has been quite a successful launch to the DC’s Young Animal line of comics. As well as the Chief’s story in this issue, we were also given a few glimpses into the future, and I for one, can’t wait to see where Way takes the Doom Patrol next. Read Full Review

This series has been a good balance between modern storytelling sensibilities, Morrison's strange vision for the team, and the original concepts of freaks fighting for humanity. Read Full Review

“Doom Patrol” #7 is the most fun I've had reading a single issue of a comic series in a long time. It's everything I want from this series. From start to finish this is wacky and each page is more fun than the one that came before. It doesn't sacrifice character development to do this and the Allreds are the perfect cherry on top with their gorgeous art. Read Full Review

Even though it's been a long time since the last issue, and we've got a guest artist on this one, it fell right in step with the series and felt just like coming home...if you live in a day-glo, psychedelic funhouse in another dimension, that is. Would that we could! Danny, come pick me up, I'm ready to commit! Doom Patrol forever. Read Full Review

Look, it's the Allreds on Doom Patrol, which basically says it all. Way crafts his most approachable tale for a book that some have complained is a bit too insular and in love with its own continuity, and we get to see some building blocks for the next phase of the series. I can't imagine you'll find a more purely fun mainstream comic this week, so do yourself a favor and add this one to the top of your pile. Or don't I guess, we all make mistakes now and again, it's your life. Read Full Review

While other comes fall into repetitive narrative patterns or don't do enough to distance themselves from the rest of the market, Doom Patrol laughs in the face of these potential stumbling blocks, outright gleeful with the sheer magnitude of ideas it chucks out each and every issue.

Way's presentation of 'Doom Patrol' is wonderfully odd and truly unique. Read Full Review

This is a quick one off issue, but a fun throwback for fans of the original team. Read Full Review

"Doom Patrol" #7 is a strong change of pace giving readers a chance to breath in a done-in-one issue featuring the indelible Michael and Laura Allred! Read Full Review

Gerard Way ensures that Doom Patrol #7 is the weirdest comic book you'll read this week. It might be too on the nose at times, but it's still a wild 'n' whacky ride. Read Full Review

When adding up the aspects of Doom Patrol #7, it should be a funny and great comic. And for the most part, it is. Despite this, the past continues to be added baggage and really detracts from the quality of this issue. I understand that some readers appreciate the past ties that Way uses in his story, but as a newer reader to the series, I do not. I want Gerard Way to be the original and talented writer he has proven to be when unburdened with the past and based upon the ending of this issue there is ample potential for this. Read Full Review

Ridiculous and fun. A total homage to silver age comics, from the classic Doom Patrol costumes to the convenient, gadget-drive solutions to every problem. A great one-shot story.

This was a weird and awesome issue...but, maybe leaning a bit more to the weird.
I find the pace was too quick when the doom patrol was in the Scantoverse, though i liked how all of this was just to display how Niles Caulder is a hotmess. This issue is more of a set-up for this current story arc which i think has to do with $#!+.
