The world’s strangest heroes are back — and they’re broke!

The Doom Patrol #1 launches a new era for DC’s unconventional superhero team as Robotman, Elasti-Girl and Negative Man turn to a heroes-for-hire business to keep the team afloat.

Their first job seems simple: find a missing cat.

But this is the Doom Patrol.

What starts as a straightforward case quickly becomes a bizarre mystery involving something far bigger and stranger than the team could have expected. Meanwhile, a ghost from the Doom Patrol’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

In this spoiler-free comic book review, I talk about Darcy Van Poelgeest’s story, Niko Henrichon’s surreal and expressive artwork, the emotional connection between the characters, the mystery at the heart of the issue and why this feels like a promising new direction for the Doom Patrol.

Are you excited for this new era of Doom Patrol? What makes a great Doom Patrol story for you?
