Giffen’s DOOM PATROL

[bretmaverick2]

DC , to their credit, has provided a lot of good DP collections over the years. We have the TV show. I believe they are going to release a collection of Pollack’s run.

I want Keith Giffen’s run collected. I’d take it in either a single volume TPB or hardcover collection.

It was really entertaining. Good character arcs.

Anyone else support this?

[Robotman]

Absolutely! Such a great run. Giffen found a way to connect the whole history of the team. the tv show has taken a lot of influence from his version of Rita.

Matthew Clark absolutely killed it on art!

It also has one of my favorite endings to a comic book series.

[Nomads1]

I certainly would. However, DC continues to baffle me with the choices it makes of collecting (or not) material.

Peace

I loved Giffin's Doom Patrol. If memory serves it was one of my favorite titles while it was in print.

[Robotman]

I would love to see Alan Tudyk return to the Doom Patrol show next season (or beyond) as Mr. Somebody.

Also, I loved Giffen including his own weirdo creation Ambush Bug on the team.

This was my favorite run after Morrison's.

[SJNeal]

I'd buy it.

My preferred format would be Deluxe Hardcover, which means we'll never see it. Barring that, a nice fat tpb would be fine too.

My initial thought would be--why?

Why not?

[titanfan]

Why not?

To be blunt: It's one of the worst runs of any series that I have ever read and I think it's existence harms the franchise--I wouldn't want new readers having that be their first exposure to DP.

I actually re-read it again a few years ago wondering if I had been harsh on it, and I don't think I was.

Interesting. I had the exact opposite reaction when I reread it awhile back (3-4 yrs now?). I couldn't get into it back in the day mostly due to McKeever's art; once I got over that, I thought it was a decent thematic successor to Morrison's run. Albeit Morrison is Morrison, so you'll never convince his acolytes that anything not by him is anywhere near as good as anything by him.
