I'm all in. Doom Patrol has very quickly sold me not just on its own worthiness, but has heightened my anticipation and expectation for the Young Animal imprint as a whole. Read Full Review

Deringtons art does a lot to help make this work. His renderings of familiar characters are spot on, Robotman looks great, and he was so precise in the location Casey winds up in towards the end that I knew exactly where she was before the big reveal. At the same time, we get such wonderfully strange shots, like the cat licking up the fluid Robotmans brain is sitting in. And it all feels very casual and real, even when we are completely outside reality. Read Full Review

I think Ive said this before, but if youre not reading everything in the Young Animal imprint, what are you doing with your life? Stop what youre doing. Go to a comic book store or onto comixology or however you get your comics. Buy everything by the Young Animal imprint and read it. How have you not already? As the Shia LeBeauf gif would say, DO IT!

I'm enjoying the hell out of Doom Patrol. I have no clue if the vast majority of comic readers are and based on our group review, it's a mixed bag. Frankly, I don't care so long as this continues to be released. This is exactly the type of book that DC should be dedicating some retail space to, and I hope that the rest of the line continues to do well. Things like Young Animal fit right at home at DC and used to be why the publisher was once dominate in the industry. It's weird, it's experimental, and for a guy that doesn't read superhero books (if I can help it), this is one damn fine exception. Read Full Review

So far, I'm enjoying this a lot - it's a great mix of terrific characters, humor and mystery, and I can't wait to see where it goes next. Highly recommended! Read Full Review

Where this book goes from here is anyone's guess and I think that's what's fun and exciting about it. So many comics out today are so focused on getting from point A to B. Doom Patrol, while only two issues in, is doing the opposite while still telling a fun and stimulating story. This is a book with a very distinctive flavor to it. On the surface Doom Patrol may seem like just a jumble of characters and situations but I think this is a book with a clear agenda and sense of what it is. Just don't ask me to explain it to you.

There are some who like their comics uncomplicated and action-packed, and for those people, the oblique and roundabout way this series has launched will make this book far from a good fit. But for those of us who like the performative aspect of our comics " seeing the different variations of style and execution beyond simple plot-setting " will find something unique and engaging about Doom Patrol #2. With the return of two characters that have long been missing in action, this is a book that's well worth your time. Read Full Review

The reintroduction of some favorite characters brings the usual chaos and confusion that seems to surround Casey Brinke's life, but the team is coming together, piece by piece. The artwork is absolutely wonderful throughout and there are lots of intriguing moments that might be meaningless to a brand-new reader. I have a solution! Read every single Doom Patrol comic book from 1963 to 2011 and then come back to this series! You might get a lot more out of it. Read Full Review

“Doom Patrol” #2 is an even stronger issue than the first and it continues to be a series with a lot to unpack (in a fun sense). The writing is charming and the art is gorgeous. For longtime fans and new fans, “Doom Patrol” completely delivers. Read Full Review

If you like your superhero comics on the weird side, this Doom Patrol relaunch won't disappoint. Gerard Way and Nick Derington have even managed to outdo the classic Grant Morrison run in that regard. Read Full Review

At the same time, no one should be denied Derington's incredible art on a monthly basis. I'll admit, I wasn't familiar with the artist's work before Doom Patrol, but these two issues have ensured I will follow his career wherever his smooth and animated pencils go next. Read Full Review

Doom Patrol is a very surreal and weird comic. I'd even call it inaccesible to a degree. But despite having never read any of the previous runs, I think the marriage of Way's eccentric writing, Derington's smooth art, Bonvillain's striking colors and Klein's bold lettering make this book a really enjoyable and welcoming read.

Doom Patrol #2 is an issue that can't be read on its own, but that's not a bad thing at all. I personally went back and read the first issue but not because I needed to, but because I wanted to see the story unfold again as a whole and that's a good thing. It seems that towards the end of the issue Casey is about to begin a journey that will hopefully answer all of her questions and mine as well! It seems that in a way Casey Brinke is alike many of us — she's just a girl who wants answers on what direction her life is really supposed to go. I'm really enjoying the journey that she's only started to take so far. Check out Doom Patrol so you can witness it for yourself! Read Full Review

If you want something properly DP-flavoured, rather read the latest Squirrel Girl or Cinema Purgatorio. In the former you have a human brain in a robot body battling a hive villain composed of lots of tiny people, while in the latter's Code Pru you'll find a quirky EMT (with a cat, too! What a coincidence!) who deals with extremely bizarre scenarios. Both are more entertaining and far better written than this pale imitation of what the Doom Patrol used to be. Read Full Review

I think I can fairly state that Grant Morrison might of had some influence on this version of the comic. Weird, but satisfying with what seems like a well planned storyline in place. Read if you want to experience something that is just crazy.

Slightly less bizzare than issue #1, but no less enjoyable. The art by Derington is perfect for this surreal book. The dialogue is interesting and the characters are fun! Enough little things happened to warrant multiple reads, too. I'm someone who doesn't have a Doom Patrol background, but I'm finding this very fun to read.

Too weird for its own good at times. That said it's a superb comic on a technical level.

This is a boring trip. None of the characters are interesting nor engaging. Too many random scenes that honestly, I couldn't care less to follow up with. I liked Gerard's work with marvel and Mcr but eh, I can't tell if he's trying too hard or not hard enough, ill try one before dropping this one.
