review:
If you're confused as to why there is a foil-wrapped gyro on the cover of 'Doom Patrol #1' by Gerard Way with art by Nick Derington, you need only read inside to find out what it all means. Or maybe it won't make any sense to you either.
The book opens with a series of four panels. What they have to do with anything isn't explained here. Are they the future or the past or some fever dream? We don't find out...yet. Next we meet Casey Brinke who is whiteknuckling an ambulance through town on her shift. She's our main focus for this issue it would seem. She has a cat named Lotion and a box full of the smashed up parts of Robotman (which she plans to put back together). Add in plans for an alien run burger joint, and the meaning of life in a gyro, and you've got an odd ride.
But it's a good one. This title is on DC's new Young Animal imprint. It feels a bit like Vertigo, and a bit not. The writing is out there and I can't wait for issue 2. The art is great and I'd like to throw a shout out to colorist Tamra Bonvillain who really makes things pop off the page, especially those first four frames. What a ride!
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.
