Just absolutely what a comic/great story/wholley original and strange and imperfect just an absolute pleasure to read because for me it was like reading Watchmen, or Dark Knight Returns. Invincible, it just grabbed me because yes it's a team which has been done and a team of, I hate the term "misfits" but the characters they are, are amazing and totally original and damaged in their own way. I loved the art, the fact it takes itself seriously while not taking itself seriously. It absolutely grabbed me from page 1 until the end and I can't wait to start volume 2. I can't say one bad thing about this comic. One of my most memorable and wow moments of reading a comic, a book, poem whatever, it stays with you and this will stay with me. Again this is just 1 man's opinion don't read this and think you'll have the same experience and then get pissed, this is what it was like for me so take it for what it's worth.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Real Surreal Life
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2007

"Doom Patrol" is the second series written by Grant Morrison. After picking up the first, "Animal Man," I loved his writing and wanted to see more, so I picked up the first few "Doom Patrol" issues ("Crawling From The Wreckage" was just a four-part story).

It's a very different work from "Animal Man." The Doom Patrol is a band of heroes who investigate odd occurrences, and prior to the first issue of this collection, they have been attacked and seriously wounded (I wasn't familiar with them before Morrison's run, and don't know the details of the incident). Morrison takes the pieces of the old Doom Patrol and assembles a new one, but all of these heroes have what one might call serious issues. Cliff, the "robot-man," desperately wants to be human; Crazy Jane has multiple personalities, each with its own power, but also with the attendant psychological problems; Rebis, the fusion of Doom Patrol member Larry and his female doctor and a "negative spirit," has become very aloof in a Dr. Manhattan kind of way, without his absolute power; the wheelchair-bound professor who leads the Doom Patrol has a touch of megalomania, and so on, and so on.

The villains they meet are equally strange, their adventures taking them into surreal worlds to ponder questions of philosophy and existence. Here is where Morrison really stretches his wings. Villains must be defeated through logical contradictions rather than punches (though the punches work well enough on the lower-rank henchmen). Garbled speech and imaginary friends permeate the cracks of the world. In this sense, the Doom Patrol stands between the real world and the festering mass of insanity trying to get in and devour it. It owes as much to Lovecraft as to anything else, but because it's a superhero book, it's a more positive spin on it. The heroes win, usually.

If you like Morrison's skewed sense of humor and can deal with the unfettered creations of his imagination, pick up this book. It's clever, with his trademark well-defined, quirky characters, and of course, his brilliant writing.

Early Grant Morrison is the best. This Doom Patrol is quite a departure from the early versions but does not disappoint. Worth the read.

This is where Grant Morrison started writing Doom Patrol and this graphic novel can be compared to even best Moore's works, Gaiman's best Sandman, or even Maxx, storywise. If you are not easily offended by religious themes or too squeamish , get it! Get all of them. I must say, Doom Patrol by Grant Morison has ups and downs but get this one at least! It's worth all the money!

Compared to rest of his works, I must say that it is much better than 'Invisibles' for instance, and has better wrap up and is much more consistent considering storytelling quality.

Inizio davvero mica male per una serie che si rivelerà tra le più originali di sempre. Questo numero introduttivo anticipa le tematiche che ricorreranno nella saga oltre che ai protagonisti della vicenda. Dal vol.2 il salto di qualità si farà evidente.

Bear with me - I am an artwork junkie. Hence I have not given this book a terribly good review even though I think the story was quite good and well written. But the artwork is not top notch. Nevertheless interesting to see a story in the 'superhero' genre that is a bit different to the norm.
