This is my first Doom Patrol book. Which might not be the best idea...

Still, I was really surprised by this. So what's the plot? Well a bunch of people, very weird and different people, start coming together. There's a ambulance driver who's ready to save everyone she could. A magic wielding woman who blows up her roommate. Then a walking talking robot who kicks ass. You got a dude who transforms into a mummy like person. Then you...wait, did I lose you? Yeah it's zanny as fuck but this is how a group of unlikely people come together to fight evil together. Least I think they're evil.

Good: I really enjoyed the zanny nature of this comic. Over the top and balls to the wall, it's always entertaining even when confusing. I love the main lead and her hopeful lookout on things but also her confusion in her role in it all till she takes it by the balls and kicks some ass. There's a ton of good chuckling moments throughout here as well.

Bad: Some of it tries hard to be funny and falls flat. I let it slide due to the nature of it but it's still there. Also sometimes the art looks to emulate "old" when it shouldn't. I think the story can be jarring for a lot, especially new comers, and they may be too confused to continue.

Overall this is jam packed with crazy hijinks and twisted fucked up stories. While I didn't "Love it" I was entertained throughout. I'ma go with a 3.5 for this one but I have a feeling the more I read the more I'll fall in love with this series.
