I’ll probably checking out season 1 soon to see how it compares to the comics now that I’m done with all 3 released volumes. I fear it won’t ever be exactly like the comics though.. it’s quite an absurd world after all.
The first was definitely vague. My favourite remains the second. The third feels like the first, so I’m hoping that volume 4 will blow our minds whenever that one comes out hahah
Great write-up my friend and a shame this volume doesn’t quite live up to the previous two and it does sound a bit messy. I’m yet to see the Netflix series but it is on my list so hopefully I’ll get around to it eventually…may be while though, I’ve just started The Boys (yep, it is rather ace) and Amazon UK have just announced they’ll be streaming Swamp Thing, which I’ll still check out despite it’s cancellation. Now if they (or Netflix) could just pick up Doom Patrol!
Yep. I think volume 2 is the only one so far that really stands out, especially since volume 1 served as an introduction to the world, more than anything. What’s accomplished in volume 3 is similar to what’s done in volume 1… So hopefully volume 4 will deliver exactly what we want.
Super glad to hear you started The Boys! I miss the show so much and can’t wait for season 2 already. Hope you enjoy it, and will look forward to thoughts on it if you ever decide to share it over on your blog, good sir.
I heard about Swamp Thing and I’m pretty glad that they did that. Really odd that Doom Patrol still isn’t on Netflix though… Maaaaaan the DCU streaming service is so depressing when you know what kind of content it offers. And soon we’re going to have to join Disney+ too… We’re going to be pretty broke pretty quick huh? Hahah
Indeed, on principle I don’t really want to subscribe to Disney+ and aid their domination on the entertainment industry…but, alas, the content is going to be far too enticing…maybe I can be a double agent of sorts haha!
I do like the artwork! However inconsistent creators like this make me resist following their work. We don’t wait untold time for another installment only for it to be less than stellar. That being said a comic has to naturally stop someplace… page space is a premium because of the art so I always kind of give them slightly more slack. Still I hope the next installment comes quick for you and the ideas from this volume are utilized well. 😀
It’s a very memorable and unique art style and I can immediate recognize and associate it to this series. It is sad that there are countless issues that could make the process super slow or long, or even a hiatus or 10 that leave fans hanging but man… sometimes you just wish that what comes out of the wait is much better than this. Hopefully volume 4 does just that and utilizes what was built up here for the better!
This series sounds so weird! I don’t know if it makes me want to read it or not 😂 If I remember well, you liked the first two volumes more than this one, right? 😮 Anyway, great review 😊
It is indeed quite an absurd world. I enjoyed volume 2 more than the 1st volume and I’d say this volume is equal in quality to the first volume! 😀 Thanks for reading, Caroline! ❤

I will definitely give season 2 a go. Although, my hopes aren’t too high. The show seemed to have so much potential, yet so much of it was missed.

I’m going to give the second volume a try… I felt like the 1st was too vague and hope the 2nd fills in some gaps.

I think this comic book series should be checked out after the show for those who aren’t too into reading or for those who love absurd universes. 😛

Yep. I think you should let the show decide if you should check out the comics or not, in this case. 😉
