Deeply weird and massively awesome. The door flew open, and in he ran. The great, long, red-legged scissorman!

A re-read on the DCUniverse platform inspired by the recent television series. It's still good. :-)

This is the series that opened doors to how serious and seriously weird comics can be.
Classic!

So much fun! Just the right amount of silly and weird. The villains are the best. I don't particularly care for the art, but I know that's just a product of its time.

i liked it more than i was expecting. a lot of things are tried, here, and some of them work but some of them don’t.

I haven't read many Grant Morrison books, but from what I'd read (mainly Multiversity) and just his reputation alone, this wasn't as weird as I'd expected, but that's not a bad thing at all. Character dynamic is really important in any team books, and this one nailed it, even Jane's multiple personalities were well done. The plot wasn't really confusing for the most part, it's just kinda high concept and the explanation was kinda tiring and tedious at some parts, but it's still exciting and not really something I'd ever read before. The only other thing that really weighed it down are the issues that don't focus on the main team, they're just a bit dull without the aforementioned team dynamic.

I get the hype about Grant Morrison now. All Star Superman didn’t end up being my personal cup of tea, but I’m so glad I just gave Doom Patrol a shot. This volume managed to not only introduce the team in a memorable way but also set up some fascinating conflicts along the way.

Perfectly weird, weirdly perfect. The only reason this volume only got 4 stars is because the next volume is so excellent I had to make sure I could differentiate.
