tawfek's review against another edition
4.0
Noooooo we lost grant Morrison in the vertigo switch...
Man this is sad.
The new writer rachel writes Dorothy amazingly.
Honestly its a good thing i don't have super powers because if i did and people treat me like they treat Dorothy i would let loose and go to town over all these assholes.
Its really scary when most people agree on an assholic behavior really really scary, a sad sign of what could be one day under certain circumstances, that most probably will come to be.
Coulder removing his own head from his body was perfect it shows remorse for how much of a villain he had become that now he had to take matters into his own hands, since that magnus asshole revived him, it seems rachel choose magnus as the next villain already so we will see how that goes.

The review is for the full run of Doom Patrol issues written by Rachel Pollack. They were not as popular as the ones by Grant Morrison, and I believe they have never been re-published in a collected edition. But they are available as single issues on comixology which I where I read them.
[I've copied this review from a review of the collected issues in book 9781401274511 because I think that book was never actually published and so may be removed from this site someday.]
It's all pretty odd, but Doom Patrol always was odd. I don't see a huge difference between what Pollack did and what Morrison did. Yet, Pollack did add some things that are uncommon in DC comics, and perhaps she was the first to address them. Things like trans identity and plot points revolving around menstruation. She added new characters, like Coagula whose super-power is, you guessed it, coagulation. And mummy-like people (ghosts?) who can do amazing things with their bandages. And Codpiece, whose super-weapon is a big robot penis.
Also one major character pulls his own head off with his bear* hands. The head continues to live, at first in a cat litter box filled with ice, but later is attached at the groin to a female body. Yep. A woman with a man's head where her va-jay-jay should be. Why did they kill this series? I just don't understand!
In issue 75, the art style switched drastically when Ted McKeever took over drawing. I like his style, but it is hugely different from what came before. Much more cartoony.
Recommended for weirdos!
*I meant "bare hands", but "bear hands" wouldn't have been out of place here.
