Haha no, I'm not a hate-reading type, and if I want past glories, I don't have to pan for them: Drake/Premiani, Morrison/Case, Pollack/McKeever and Way/Derrington are all there to reread. Maybe I'll come back if something catches my curiosity!

Catch up with Niles Caulder, Mento, Flex Mentallo, and more as we learn terrible secrets that could bring the new team to their knees before they even have a chance to get started. There's a traitor in their midst and it's not who you think!
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #2 reaffirms everything people love about the team. The DP are a group of flawed people, dealing with their own trauma and physical maladies, while still helping people with theirs. They're just people doing their best, and there's a huge amount of relatability in that. Read Full Review
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #2 lands all of its innovations. This comic has creators who are brave enough to try various design or narrative choices to tell the story, and a team with the acerbic and mad nature of Doom Patrol may be the best pick. Read Full Review
‘Unstoppable Doom Patrol' #2 delivers on all fronts. We get the continuation of the surprise Read Full Review
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #2 continues to build upon the teams new status quo, while also interjecting the weirdness that makes the book so unique. The references to prior continuity and universe shattering art build this up to be a near perfect comic book. Read Full Review
Unstoppable Doom Patrol has all the hallmarks of a well-written and planned new series, and one that could and very much should sustain 100 issues. There's a rich history behind each character to play with as the new series explores a world where there are new metahumans who need more help than ever. Read Full Review
Although this issue wasn't overflowing with action, Culver and Burnham double down on the eccentric nature of Doom Patrol making for a fascinating and enthralling character study. Read Full Review
This whole story is incredibly bizarre, with some really surreal momentsexactly as the Doom Patrol should be. It's not easy to work these characters into the mainstream DCU, but Culver might have the best angle of any creator in a long time. Read Full Review
There's a heartbreaking moment involving one of the new recruits to Doom Patrol, but that just moves the plot ahead even more in the conclusion of the story. Read Full Review
This issue manages to introduce a LOT of important information, establish our stakes, reference multiple Doom Patrol eras AND looks really good. Well worth your time. Read Full Review
Burnham delivers some great art in the issue. I love the cutaway shot of the base and the character moments as the spy moves through the facility. Read Full Review
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #2 delivers an impressive amount of world-building for new readers but doesn't do much in terms of setup or plot. If you're new to Doom Patrol, you may like the primer. For existing fans, there's not much here you don't already know. Read Full Review
Very strong issue with a great twist at the end. Great building up the role of the doom patrol in this mini-series.
Also enjoy the little nod of Robo-mans roll in this issue to reflect on the previous Doom Patrol Teams and to give insight into all the loss he faces. Sort of a side thing, but a nice sub-plot none-the-less
GASP.
This issue was SO GOOD. AND NOW IM LIKE...
SCREAMING?

In the future when everything is written by AI because AI is cheaper, this is what every comic will read like: lots of references to past continuity and allusions to successful movies and TV shows strung together in a vague semblance of a story. (AI art won't be able to produce anything as lovely as Burnham does here, though.)
Unless I see reason to come back, I reckon this is where I get off the ride
