So the talent agent asks, "What do you call an act like that?"

[arbre_rieur]

Two issues ago, Veronica Cale nationalized the Doom Patrol, effectively turning them into the legal property of Oolong Island. So how that's working out for them?



As the Doom Patrol's new Chief, Veronica Cale's first assignment for them is to serve as bodyguards as she attends a gala these Boswicks are throwing at their castle.





He outlines how North Korea is planning to assassinate Cale as part of an effort to gain control of Oolong Island and all its super-science.



Worst bodyguards ever.

I love that the rest of the art is relatively normal so it makes THAT CORSET that much more freakish.

[cainofdreaming]

While the rest is normal, and the corset is freaky, I'd have to say that Cliff in a suit and waistcoat is made of win.

...Okay, that whole issue was little more then a massive set-up for an Aristocrats joke, wasn't it?

[bradhanon]

Excessive amounts of setup are the sole point of an Aristocrats joke. If true, I'm impressed that they found a new way to do it.

[blake_reitz]

That's...a kind of brilliant.

When Osiris came back I thought the idea of him declaring war on Oolong Island and Veronica Cale (for her role in creating the 4 Horseman and his and his sister's death) would be a much better idea than the crap they have him doing in "Titans" (aka a God-level powered character being a minion of Deathstroke on a mercenary team).

And why is Beast Boy hanging out with teenagers while his "mom" is being manipulated by Steven Dayton, Niles Caulder and now Veronica Cale?

They better have a really funny reason for being covered in blood.

[nezchan]

Maybe they can get Bob Saget in as a guest writer.

[psychopathicus_rex]

If they're NOT hitmen, then why are they covered in the good ol' vein-vino? Do they prefer the term 'assassins', or do they just like to fight, or what?

[arbre_rieur]

It's not clear yet. They did just kill a bunch of their guests, which is who the blood is from, but they didn't seem too pleased about it. There was more an attitude of, "Nuts, I was hoping we could avoid it this time. Ah well, might as well get on with it." This is especially so for the wife, who was put off that the party she put so much work into was now going to be ruined by nasty murder business.

It's probably something to do with the curse mentioned earlier.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Ah, a curse. Yes, that would explain it. Curses tend to involve copious amounts of blood at some point.

When did the doom patrol lose ambush bug and gain bumblebee?

[arbre_rieur]

Ambush Bug isn't a full-time member (and would you trust him on any matter where diplomacy is involved?) Neither is Bumblebee, who's been living in Rita's dollhouse for a while now.

[capnduckman]

But Ambush Bug makes everything better!
