A 2031 Facsimile Edition in This EXCLUSIVE Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #3 Preview

Published Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:30:06 -0500

Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #3 is in stores next week from DC Comics, by the creative team of Gerard Way, Jeremy Lambert, Steve Orlando, and Evan Shaner.

Each week, DC Comics distributes so-called EX-X-XCLUSIVE previews to their compliant media partner websites, feeding content to those websites to fuel the click-driven 24-hour comics news cycle. But at what cost?! At what cost?!

In these darkest of times, when the line between corporate comics publicity department and comic book news outlet is nigh invisible, a hero has arisen from the smoke and ashes, a Mysterious Benefactor, who has been providing Bleeding Cool with a few pages from each of DC's new releases each week before media partners can get their EX-X-XCLUSIVE versions up.

How long will it last? Will our Mysterious Benefactor ever be thwarted? All we can say, dear reader, is enjoy it while it lasts.

Here's two pages from next Wednesday's Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #3, as we check in on the Doom Patrol Detective Agency in this story reprinted from a comic published in 2031. What will geriatric Dan Didio think of time-traveling facsimile editions at that time?! Check out the preview below.

Special 287th-anniversary issue! Someone in the city of Goliath is killing cops-robot cops, that is!-and it's up to the Doom Patrol Detective Agency to find out who…but their only clues are pages torn from a pulp paperback littering the streets of this neo-noir nightmare of a city. The secret of Goliath will die along with their hope of escape unless the team can band together once again, just like the old days.
