Run for your lives, it's timf for more Waiting For Doom! Mike and Paul return to take a look at the under-appreciated Volume 3 of the Doom Patrol, featuring multiple RobotmEn, bittersweet closure, spooky monsters and ill-timed phone calls! Let's get patrolling!
Down on Derington Way - 6:36
Doom Clock - 11:39
Doomsplaining - 16:39 - At long last, we return to volume 3! There really was a good reason for it though. Honest. For reals. Anyway, we take a look at issues 9 and 10 by John Arcudi, Tan Eng Huat, Dave Stewart, Bob Lappan, Harvey Richards and Andew Helfer!
Mailbag O Doom - 37:14 - Which comic book character looks best in black and white?
Waiting for Doom was created in late 2014 after 2 obsessive Doom Patrol fans realised (possibly incorrectly) that the world needed more discussion regarding their all time favourite superhero team. Specifically, from the two of them. Egos, am I right?Some helpful starting points for you:
Mike lives in Brisbane, and has had an on-again, off-again love affair with comics for 95% of his life. Paul lives in Laggan and tempers his encyclopedic knowledge of comics creators, and DC Comics in general, with biting sarcasm. Both of them fear the arrival of the Beardhunter, given their combined facial hair. Waiting For Doom would also not be possible without the support of our fellow Doom Bros: Jeames aka Rifty who provides technical support; and Doug Zawisza, who provides additional Doom Patrol history and commentary both here and on his own site, mygreatestadventure80.blogspot.com . Mike and Paul have the reluctant support of WilFreD, the sentient show Twitter account which gained self-awareness in early 2015. WilFreD lurks around this site so be careful of participating in inflammatory anti-AI sentiments lest we all suffer his wrath. |
