Doom Patrol Vol. 1: Brick by Brick by Gerard Way
3.0
3,5
It's hard to say anything about a tory as weird as this one, even more when it was written by one my favorite singers, Gerard Freaking Way, mostly, because I didn't understand half of what is happening, just as he said at the end of the book.
This is like the starngest sex I had with a comic book. I couldn't put it down since the beggining, and had to actually force myself to do it so I could sleep a little. I wasn't thinking on next morning and that I would need myself to be able to work, to be able to walk even, but only that I wanted to know what the heck was happening next. This is so addictive it shoud be illegal, really.
There are a few ideas that become clear and understandable, proposals that I gave me little problem, if no one at all, but the others were just so strange and bizarre I couldn't get them. This may be because it's the first volume, the first real chapter of this story, which has been promoted as with "the weirdest heroes," and sure Way kept himself loyal to the idea, so it may be right for him to help newcomers to understand a little bit more of what's going on.
Now that I touched the point, I need to say that I knew nothing, absolutely nothing, of these guys, the Doom Patrol, but the concept is great. A Western, American, old-style comic book that reminds me of American Uglies with a high dose of SciFi and absurd humor. Despite the fact that it's hard to follow, you still manage to find the greatness on it, you get really into it and entertains more than you might expect.
I'm not part of those who like the art, but considering the tyle, the tone and the real nature of this comic book, well, it the best one you can use. There are some panels and pages that impressed me, like the one with people coming out of one Danny to get into the other right next it, or the very first page, which I love because... I'm still trying to know why.
You can expect me to read the next volumes in this book, and know that I had my first time with Way (no pun intended, you dirty minders,) I'm most likely to love them.
