No New Doom Patrol In March From Young Animal, But A First Issue Director's Cut Instead

Published Sat, 17 Dec 2016 16:00:22 -0600

Fans of Gerard Way and Nick Derington's Doom Patrol already have to wait two weeks for this month's issue, as the comic was pushed back from December 14th to December 28th, though with the consolation that the book is 40 pages long with no price increase. It looks like, come March, they'll have to wait some more, as there's no new issue of the book scheduled for that month, according to Young Animal solicitations revealed EXXXCLUSIVELY over at CBRama.com. The first arc concludes with Doom Patrol #6 in February, so this could be a sign that Young Animal, or at least Doom Patrol, plans to follow the Image model of putting out a single arc, then taking a little time to get ready for the next one.

Luckily for fans of the book, March will see a directors cut of #1 so they can double dip and get their fix.
