Doom Patrol #3 Has Danny The Street Tell Casey's Origin The Way Origins Should Be Told
So there may be spoilers for Doom Patrol, Incredible Iron Man and Supergirl below. Just so you know.
I had liked previous issues of Gerard Way and Nick Derington's Doom Patrol from DC Comics/Young Animal. But issue 3 is when I properly fell for it. Exploring Danny The Street/Danny The World/Dannyland/Danny The Meat's universe, in which he talked to Casey via the medium of comic books in back issue boxes in a comic book store, and we discovered that she was just as much a creation of Danny as everything else around her.
The last panel of which does, of course, make a strange bedfellow to reading today's Incredible Iron Man #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and Stefano Caselli with an origin story for Riri Williams, the new Iron Man, yet to be called Ironheart.
"None of this is real. It's just pages in a comic book." Doom Patrol seems to be actively going out to destroy the comic books on the stands next to it. And not just the Marvel comics, when Dannyland continues…
When the new issue of Supergirl also goes there.
So Doom Patrol #3 is an exceptionally interesting comic that gets to do new tricks with narratives that no one else gets to play with. But in doing so, is taking its stablemates down with it…
Doom Patrol. Supergirl and Incredible Iron Man are published today.
