Essential Comicbooks: Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol
Wonderfully weird and unusual things happened to me this past month. I witnessed a fictional city parasitically implant itself on our reality. I saw a deity wh o feeds on pain. I watched as a group of lovable magic-whackos, dedicated to the absurd and the bizarre, sought to make Dadaism a way of life eradicating the idea of there being a status-quo. A painting ate Paris and I realized that secret societies are operating everywhere; hiding in plain sight. Fortunately, the Doom Patrol is here to keep things from getting too insane. The Doom Patrol is a team of outcasts and oddballs from DC Comics, originally appearing in the 1960s. While Doom Patrol has been written and drawn by a number of creative teams throughout the years, comic fandom mostly agrees that the definitive run on the title is Grant Morrison’s. You are probably sick of superheroes and superhero teams given their overabundance on both the cinema and TV screens. I am too, even with my love for the genre. Have no fear,
