Black Lantern Doom Patrol

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

This is from a Doom Patrol #4 preview posted over at the Source.






The three we can clearly see are Celcius, Tempest, and Negative Woman. I hope Coagula is also one of their members.

Well, since this might be the week to bring back cute blond heroes cruelly snuffed out for dramatic effect, it'd be nice to see Scott Fischer back again..

[shanejayell.insanejournal.com]

Kinda cool, actually.

Did they ever resolve if Celcius was or was not the Chief's wife etc etc? I seem to remember he claimed she was delusional.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

He claimed a lot of things. According to the story where he died, he married her, then left her. He didn't take it seriously.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

So, Josh remained dead from Grant's run, then?

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Yup, e was killed by the Chief, then returned from the dead by the Candlemaker, then killed again buy the Candlemaker.

Man, a woman in bandages has no right to be that hot. Damn you Negative Woman!!

Also, am I the only one who feels Justiniano should've been the penciller from the very beginning? I already like this more than Matthew Clarke's pencils - And it's very disappointing that, despite Doom Patrol being his 'dream book', he's only pushed out about three consecutive issues of said book.

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

It's the mystery. Like opening a Christmas present.

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

Will BL Negative Woman's negative form be a happy, cheery normal person who walks around chatting pleasantly at people?

[grimmbear.insanejournal.com]

I'll bet that's Robot Man's body in the shadows.

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

Robotman is still alive.

[grimmbear.insanejournal.com]

He's a brain in a robot body. That happened to his corpse?

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

I think it's more likely to be someone else amongst the Doom Patrol's sizable deceased list.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

The DP don't actually have that long a list of dead for a 46 year old superhero team. The three shown here, the 5 I mention in my post, Nudge and Grunt...plus Elongated Man, who briefly joined the 'official' Jost Patrol - 11. Which, while almost 1/3 of the total team roster, is low compared to any team around for a comparable length of time. (League: 36 confirmably dead full members; Titans: 22; JSA: 17 (surprisingly low, actually)... Obviously, there's a significant amount of overlap in those 3 lists...and the DP's list.)

The Brain once inhabited a Robotman body. And he and Monsieur Mallah are currently dead.

[vspope.insanejournal.com]

Certainly bulky enough to be armored, though.

Wouldn't it be a kick if it was somehow the return of the mental projection of Robotman from DP v3?

[skylands.insanejournal.com]

Wait, wtf? Isn't Valentina alive? Last time I checked, she was the White Queen of Checkmate.

I think I'm missing something here...

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

I think she was killed in Final Crisis.

[cricharddavies.insanejournal.com]

Her Wikipedia entry doesn't mention it; it's stated that she's shown under Darkseid's control in FC: Resist, but that's it.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Wasn't she one of the bodies shown littering the ground with the Atomic Knights...

[addude.insanejournal.com]

Since the black lantern want peoples hearts someone like robot man who only has a human brain but no heart does that mean his safe?

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

Well they can't take his heart because he doesn't have one, but that doesn't mean he's safe.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

Not really, all they want is the emotion no matter how they get it. Look at Jason Firestorm whose become a battery. Chances are they'll just go for Cliff's BRAINNSSSSSS.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

Hrm...let's see who could be on the team aside from those three...

I agree, Coagula would be good...Dorothy is almost inevitable...Fever (*snif*)...Blaze and Karma...

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Hmmm, I might have to pick this up...

I know it's not what heroes do, but I'd really like the Doom Patrol to just look to each other and walk away leaving Niles Caulder behind. Even if it isn't the real Celcius, he still really, really deserves this.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

why isn't what heroes do? This guy has become villain in all but name.

Is this the first time we've seen a Black Lantern form themself?

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

Know what would be the end of the world?

Black Lantern Crazy Jane. YE GODS.

[endis_ni.insanejournal.com]

I want to see that so very badly.

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

That would be friggin' amazing.

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

one ring for each personality?

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

Or, even more interesting. One ring becomes confused by the memories of multiple people, so it summons other rings and the personalities are divided amongst them.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

But she didn't die and she's on Danny the World, right...?

[iondan.insanejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, I'm just getting this for the ring, but I will read it and if I like it maybe I'll add Doom Patrol to my pull list when my financial outlook brightens up.

[salamangkiero.insanejournal.com]

good question. Are Crazy Jane and Rebis dead? for my money, those two are the most dangerous of the DP.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

IIRC Crazy Jane was briefly glimpsed inside a painting/portal in the OYL Titans issue where they visit the Doom Patrol castle.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

I wonder if that world inside the Painting that Ate Paris--the one that's apparently very nice, in some places, inside--contained the place Jane ended up later.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Possibly, but I'd prefer to think she was still exploring Danny the World, and IIRC the painting ended up destroyed, apart from a few scraps.

[sxyblkmn.insanejournal.com]

i've always loved the doom patrol and this looks pretty damn cool :)

[thosefew.insanejournal.com]

This reminds me - have Cyborg Superman's accident partners come back?
