This book feels like it’s starting to settle into a groove. Which kinda sucks, considering it’s only going to be six issues long…

For yours truly, Chris Burnham’s art continues to be the big selling point for this series. I really dig his figure rendering, and the texture he adds to everything. As the cover indicates, we get two Green Lanterns in this issue as a bonus.

There’s a great two-page spread in this issue, featuring a bird’s eye view of the team’s home base, the Shelter. The roof is peeled off, so you can see everything inside. I’m a sucker for stuff like that.

So…do they blow up a kid in this issue? Cuz it kinda looks like they blow up a kid. Can they do that..?

Chris Burnham and Brian Reber feel tailor-made for a Doom Patrol book. Let’s count our blessings that they’re here.

I’m always pleased to see Chris Burnham’s name on a book. I’ve got a fondness for him that dates back to his work on Batman. From a quality standpoint, his work here is everything I was hoping for.

There’s a character on the first page of this issue who says, “Things are about to get weird.” I love that as a sort of mission statement for this book. And indeed, there’s plenty of weird stuff going on here.

All that being said, we did not need a gratuitous Batman appearance in this, the first issue. What is this, a Superman book?

This issue’s feature is supposed to be about Green Arrow, with a back-up that’s about Green Arrow and Black Canary as a couple. But in truth, both stories are more or less about Ollie and Dinah. So they may as well have told one larger story about the two of them, as opposed to a larger one and a smaller one.

Artistically, both stories look great. But from a character insight perspective the back-up is stronger, as Pariah learns that he’s better off imprisoning Ollie and Dinah together than apart…
