Doom Patrol Vol. 1: Brick by Brick by Gerard Way
2.0
The story felt needlessly convoluted and full of weirdness for the sake of being weird. None of the characters really clicked and, to be honest, it seemed to be written for long-time fans of the series rather than new readers like me. Inaccessible is the most accurate word to really describe how I feel about the book and the series.
I've read weird stories before. Thing is, the narrative may feel 'weird' and disjointed, among other things, but it has to come together near the end without coming across as confusing and pointless. Sadly, this volume falls into a hole it dug for itself and has put me off from reading Doom Patrol any further.
