Chris and Reggie’s TOTAL PACKAGE - Doom Patrol (Young Animal)

2022-01-02

A descent into absolute MADNESS... in all the wrong ways! Here's a collection I've been wanting to (re)share for a long time... when Reggie and I were covering the entirety of DC's Young Animal boutique pop-up imprint (the first go-round, from 2016-2018), one of the titles... or, more accurately, THE title we were most excited for was: Doom Patrol (vol.6) -- and, boy did we start off optimistic!

A descent into absolute MADNESS... in all the wrong ways!

Here's a collection I've been wanting to (re)share for a long time... when Reggie and I were covering the entirety of DC's Young Animal boutique pop-up imprint (the first go-round, from 2016-2018), one of the titles... or, more accurately, THE title we were most excited for was: Doom Patrol (vol.6) -- and, boy did we start off optimistic! That is, until the writer of the thing stopped giving a crap about whether or not it ever came out! Then, when it DID come out... it definitely had a "phoned in" sorta feel.

Over the course of the next seven hours, you can hear Reggie and I go from wildly excited... to mildly annoyed... to somewhat apathetic... then finally, to full-blown angry that one of our favorite comics properties was being held hostage by a fella who'd rather shill Hot Topic t-shirts than comics!

It's a wild ride, and some of the most fun I had in my early podding "career"... and I hope you'll give it a listen! Content Warning: There's some "colorful" language in these episodes!
