Meteor showers, green teenage stowaways, and robotmen used as bottle stoppers, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The World's Strangest Heroes (a designation I might take issue with were I one of them, since Mento and Beast Boy are also along for the ride) battle the germ-ridden Meteor Man in this (checks notes) less-than-exciting outing!

The Madmen join the World's Strangest Heroes and take a look at DC Universe's DOOM PATROL and compare it to Grant Morrison's run on the comics.

Carolyn Page, Andrew, and Tristan dive into Grant Morrison's dark, German fairy tale-inspired world.

Doom Patrol has been around since the 1960's yet they aren't part of the mainstream DC Universe of characters. Their line-up has changed over the years with Robotman (Cliff Steele) being the only character in every iteration. They are a group of super-powered misfits whose "gifts" caused them alienation and trauma. They were given the moniker of the "World's Strangest Heroes" and they wore the mantle well. At the end of their original series run they were all killed off. But as you know, no one stays dead in the comics… except Uncle Ben. When they announced that Doom Patrol would be one of the new exclusive series for DC Universe I was a bit skeptical. This is a team of unsung and sparsely used characters from DC's line-up. Then I saw the early pictures of what Robotman looked like and I moved from skepticism to outright disbelief that the show would work. Nevertheless, I gave the first episode a chance because I desperately wanted to see some new DC characters break into the mainstream. After finishing the first episode I decided to binge-marathon the whole series. I was disappointed when I discovered that DC Universe was releasing the episodes one each week rather than all at once like Netflix. Oh, the unfairness of it all. DC Universe has a potential hit on their hands with Doom Patrol. The voice acting of Brendan Fraser was much better than I expected. He gave emotion to a non-moving robot face. Alan Tudyk was… well, he was Alan Tudyk. I really enjoy watching him bring characters to life. You might also recognize an old James Bond actor in Doom Patrol. Timothy Dalton plays the man who brings them all together, the Chief. If you haven't seen the first episode of Doom Patrol yet, you should. The first episode does a lot of character introduction and it still keeps you wanting to see more. If the rest of the season is just as good, I will be renewing my DC Universe membership. Do you agree with us that Doom Patrol is gonna be a hit for DC Universe? Or do you think we've lost our mind saying it is good? Let us know in the comments.

The Doom Patrol.

What would you do if you were given the opportunity to sacrifice yourself for the lives of people you don't even know?  In this reupload, Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) bow their heads to bid farewell to the World's Strangest Heroes as they shuffle (or blast!) off this mortal coil to save the lives of 14 complete strangers living in Codsville, Maine.  They also discuss some of the behind the scenes shenanigans leading up to this issue regarding the mysterious (or, not so mysterious) omission of Doom Patrol co-creator Arnold Drake! (Please note that around the four-minute mark, we refer to Arnold Drake and Leslie Waller's merged pen name (on It Rhymes With Lust) as Leslie Drake... when it was actually credited to Drake Waller) Whoops!  Wea culpa! -- ***Originally aired as a segment during Weird Science DC Comics Podcast, Episode #90 (September 25, 2016) -- You can get a hold of us at weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com -- For our weekly writings check out www.weirdsciencedccomics.com For Chris' daily writings check out www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com For our half-hearted blog/image depository check out www.weirdcomicshistory.blogspot.com - Currently featuring pictoral evidence of EVERY (to our knowledge) pre-Crisis appearance of the enigmatic Monitor! -- Visit us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/CosmicTMillHistory and on Twitter @CosmicTMill -- Subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play... wherever's most convenient!
