There's Sometimes a Buggy

In these issues, Elise and Dave learn that even minions of the Morrison-Industrial complex have shed tears over Laika the Spacedog, Chekhov's Sugar Tongs have their moment in the spotlight, and a certain wax-accoutered individual wafts onto the stage. Elise falls in love with Flex Mentallo and Steve Yeowell's pencils, and Dave gets to wonder publicly about the phenomenon that was Grit. All this and a special holiday-themed announcement! What do you think?

A couple of crucial issues here, as Morrison kneecaps his ridiculous Mesh/Huss war before it metastasizes into a company-spanning crossover (well, Jane had fun), sends Rhea off on a non-lethal cosmic romp that must have left Jean Grey burning with envy and then yanks a miraculous "Hero of the Beach" out of his copyright violating sleeve. Onward!

While the star-spanning saga of the Hussite-Mesh war rages on, DOOM PATROL readers are treated to the crypto-Lynchian spectacle of the House of Phones, Mr. Christmas avoids meeting the Men in Mauve, and Flex Mentallo gets a makeover. Dave and Elise also bear witness to the unwelcome irruption of the retrograde "culture war" in the lettercols (along with the very welcome introduction of Jess Nevins to those pages), and kick a little football talk around (encouraged by the indispensable David Allison).

Get in on the ground floor of the great Ultraquist-Anathematician conflict of 1990 with Elise and Dave. This time out, the Doom Patrol finds itself straddling the cosmos-spanning divide between the Kaleidoscape and the Judge Rock (sounds like the book Thomas Wolfe wrote after his body decomposed). We also spend a fair bit of time pondering Zack Snyder's place in art history, so good luck with that!

Elise and Dave do their best to deal with the extraordinary pile-up of ideas and situations on offer in DOOM PATROL #35 and #36. Enter: Danny the Street, Sara Furness, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, The Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and a certain Man of Muscle Mystery!

Elise was right - this one went long. But what do you expect when there are Archons of Nurnheim and Brain-Ape romances to discuss? It's DOOM PATROL #33 and #34. Drop the bomb! (no, Donald, please don't)

Big things happening this time out - and not just that horse. Dave argues that these two issues together make the perfect Morrison DOOM PATROL sampler, as they form a kind of microcosm for the series as a whole. There are Beethoven birds! A Care Bear Stare! Spock's Brain references! Mental cartography! And issue #30 ends in a serious Cliff-hanger.

In this episode, Elise and Dave dip into the mysteries of Rhode Island (Earth-Prime version), discuss the iniquitous deeds of the Orange Order, and bear witness to another aggressive aesthetic move against the nominally real world. Everybody's got some hungry art.

The podcast is ahead of schedule for a change, as we managed to record an episode during the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday. As luck would have it, issues #25 and #26 deal heavily with the slippery concept of "the family". Join Elise and Dave for a brief excursion into the fable-haunted mind of Dorothy Spinner and the overture of the immortal Brotherhood of Dada storyline.
