TO THE NEGATIVE SPACE! |
Well. Isn’t 2016 proving to be an…interesting….strange….year..? Anyway, hopefully this latest episode of WFD will brighten your day somewhat. Please note SPOILERS GALORE for those who’ve not yet read Issue 3 of Volume 6. WilFreD has warned you.
- Down on Derington Way – 8:50
- Doomsplaining – 15:37 – It’s a ‘non-waiting’ week! This week we return to the latest volume of the Patrol, with issue 3 from Way and Derington!
- Mailbag O Doom – 42:31 – We read your responses to the question, “What is the most fascinating fictional illness or ailment?”
Here's some of the visual goodies from Doom Patrol #3.

NOT the cover for Doom Patrol (v6) #3. |
 |
THIS is the primary cover for Doom Patrol (v6) #3. |
 |
Flex and Casey having a chit-chat. |
 |
The best single-panel Grant Morrison-Richard Case retrospective ever. |
 |
IT'S A DOOMED WORLD AFTER ALL. . .IT'S A DOOMED WORLD AFTER ALL. . . |
 |
Fugg that! |
 |
Hand turkey! |
 |
-CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK- Disorienting agony it is! |
 |
Do not mess with the Whoozawhatzitz. |
 |
Derington at his flexible best. And Bonvillain making the new look rustic, while Todd Klein makes it all complete over Way's script. |
By joining the Doom Patrol (such as they are at this point) on their adventure, we see a glimpse of the splendor that awaits, giving readers so very much to look forward to.
Before you do, or maybe now that you're back, here's Doug's Dig for Doom Patrol #3. (If you know me, you know how dear Crisis is to me, and, by extension, how much I love this.)

A magnificent example of the creative collaboration present in every issue of Doom Patrol (v6). |
And, last bit of Doom for this post. I know Nick Derington does some creative things when he's working through reference, like using a toy ambulance for Danny or building a Robotman face, so when I saw the classic DP panel on page 10, I reached out to him via Twitter:
So much amazing detail in just one panel.
Question of the week!!!
Who/what is the worst fictional artificial intelligence?
As biased as this may sound, I still can't actually get over how GOOD this new series is. A *boatload* of references for longtime dP readers, and plenty of weirdness for fans both new and old (specifically in this case, the reveal of Casey's origin!). Can't wait for #4, even if we have to (Dun dun DUNNNNNN) wait!
