Hey, did you all know there’s a Doom Patrol television show coming??? Did you know the Gerard Way Doom Patrol series isn’t dead yet?!? That's just some of the news that Paul and Mike cover this episode.

Plus they gett back into covering their favourite underrated Doom Patrol volume; volume 3 from writer John Arcudi and Tan Eng Huat with Bob Lappan, Dave McCaig and Andrew Helfer. The team hit rock bottom, split apart, but has the Purple Purposeless come to save them? (no).

Send us a bloody email at [email protected] and a bloody Twitter message @DCOCDcast if you have the spinal fortitude. And thanks for bloody listening!

Paul is still stranded in the US after HeroesCon, so it's very timely that some listeners petitioned for the inclusion of the Wonder Woman story that starts with The Contest and ends with The Challenge of Artemis arc. Not only did they advocate for the 12 issue run to be included as part of the recently identified 'Replacement Trilogy', Dr Anj and Diabolu Frank with Martin Gray recorded and edited the whole episode giving Mike and Paul a deeply appreciated break.

The event ran from Wonder Woman 90 - 100, 0 in 1994. Created by William Messner-Loebs, Mike Deodata Jr, John Costanza, Patricia Milvihill, Paul Kupperberg and Brian Bolland.
