Anyone else disappointed with this?

The whole imprint is meh-tier except Cave Carson which is fucking top tier.

I went into it without having read any DP before, and it's probably my fave current ongoing. I've since dived into the new reprints of the Morrison stuff and it's only enriching my appreciation of the YA run

It's okay, but yeah, as weird as Morrison's run got, it still had a cohesive story and memorable villains. This doesn't. I'll probably end up ranking it as the 4th best DP run behind Giffen's.

I thought I'd be more excited to see Morrison's Patrol getting back together but the entire time I wanted to get past that to see new adventures.

Interestingly, Way has said that of all the Doom Patrol runs, he draws the most inspiration from Pollack's.

>he draws the most inspiration from Pollack's

That's a terrible mistake if true.

You're basing that entirely off of six issues? Sounds like you went in just wanting Morrison 2.0

I listened to an interview with Way and Derington and he made it specifically clear that he didn't want to just coast off Grant's mythos, and Grant respects him for that

If Wild Dog wasn't in CCHACE I'd prolly have dropped it by now. The story is a meandering mess and has stopped being a drama about a grieving father and a daughter he's disassociated from and went straight up mindless sci-fi action instead

Nah, just a good comic, really.

>>93541210
Have not read it. Always stand offish when they do a new Doom Patrol and Morrison is not involved. Which is odd because I am not a huge Morrison fan, just loved his run with the characters. Plus it is an imprint based on that shitty musician and all the other Young Animal books have not been that good.

Maybe someone has a more detailed opinion of it, other than 'it sucks'.

>>93541472
If you haven't read Giffen's run you're doing yourself a disservice. In fact, the only Doom Patrol runs that aren't worth reading are Byrne's and Kupperberg's.

>>93541515
I will give it a look, if I can find them, when I get home tonight. Just Morrison was the first time I read so I base my opinion about the team and relaunches on that.

>>93541555
You should be reading the original Blake run then, if anything. It was pretty ahead of it's time.

>>93541257
I hate that Oeming's art is wasted on such bland writing.

>>93541472
The arc is just about assembling the team and some flashbacks to Morrison and Giffen. It does have the usual Doom Patrol weirdness, but the characters aren't that intriguing. I won't say it sucks, but it's just a standard big two superhero book. The silver age run is another Doom Patrol run you should check out.

Drake* sorry, I've been drinking.

>>93541257
Cave is the worst in the line by far
fuck that book and its shitty art

>>93541515
what's wrong with Kupperberg? I like everything I've read of his

>>93541593
Personally I hate Oeming's art, it's really poor cartooning and his storytelling is often confused by the overdone artsy page layouts and compositions. Filardi makes him look so much better than he actually is

>>93541647
Neither him nor Byrne understood what made the team work.

>>93541647
He wanted to make them the X-Men. Same with Byrne.

Bug is the only book I'm enjoying. It's a fun pulp book with done in ones.

sorta

I loved Scioli's Superpowers. I wish it was a full length series.

As a new reader, it tests your patience. I stuck through it because I like weird stuff and cape comics have been stale to me, but the first arc is kind of inaccessible desu. I don't see the book getting any more clear too, which I think will hinder the sales and reception. Perhaps I should read Morrison's run as everyone suggests

>>93541210
This is like the only comic I'm really loving right now. Seemed to be going for more characterization than weirdness to me, except maybe the first issue. The third issue (really cool issue) is all about Casey's origin story, while the fifth is mostly characterization for Casey and Danny and the sixth for Cliff and Jane.

Just seems to have better plotting and dialogue the everything else coming out. Each issue has memorable moments and feels like plenty of content, the one-liners are great.

>>93541257
Cave is good but I like Doom Patrol a lot more. Mother Panic is pretty good, Shade had a good first arc but then kind of fell off.

>>93541727
The dialogue is so bad though.
