Another portrait cover that could actually be classed as a shot from the interior action, though poor Scott is left behind as the team take on Shrapnel.
I quite like that Josh is very much about getting back into the lab in this issue. It speaks to the transition his character goes through in Morrison's run, from front line to home team, serving as the team's physician and avoiding the superheroics.
Shrapnel is an okay villain, but, as with much of the run, is simply too generically supervillain. That's just not what the Doom Patrol is about. They should be standing on the ramparts before chaos and insanity, holding the line. That's what they do better than any other team of powered beings in the DCU. Instead, they're fighting a guy who blows up and then puts himself back together. *sigh*
Yes, I know I said I was going to try to be nicer to this run this time around, but you've got to cut me a little slack. Sometimes it's just so bad.
More to follow.
