Book 2 of #2024Halfway is Doom Patrol. My introduction to the wild & thought provoking world of DP was via Gerard Way's terrific 3 vol. run. The exact same month I also read Grant Morrison's 6 vol. run. Although I found Morrison to be a bit too cerebral & experimental at times, I appreciated him pushing the boundaries of the form. IMO Way hit all of the right notes in his volumes & really illuminated what makes Doom Patrol so great.

vivastory BONUS: Hailey Piper's Benny Rose Cannibal King is one that I have vey recently read & posted about. At 160 pages, it's just a bit above what I would consider novella length but it is def one that you can read in a sitting or two. For those who like seasonal horror, I would recommend this as it takes place on Halloween. 10mo

Mehso-so

This new take on the DOOM PATROL, by the creator of THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY, makes a lot of sense, when you consider his original creation was a variation on the same themes (further down the rabbit hole, both titles owe their existence to the X-MEN). He admirably captains the ship, but I‘ll always prefer the ‘90s run of this book.
