Let's Hear It For Captain Trainor

If you haven't been reading the new incarnation of Doom Patrol by Gerald Way (The Umbrella Academy) you're really, really doing yourself a disfavor.
I really enjoy the way he does his own thing on the book and yet still references and acknowledges past DP creators like Drake, Morrison and Giffen.

Couldn't get it, but I was reading the latest issue, issue 5, and it's a damn real treat for the reader.
To catch you up, Captain Larry Trainor AKA The Negative Man, had woken up in an unfamiliar place, separated by the negative energy being that used to live within him.
Eventually he tracks it down and quickly finds out his energy spirit is a part of whole collective of
negative spirits that get partnered up with other hosts.




Long story short, after a long debate, Larry choices to willingly rejoin with his old negative spirit to help people. As a reward, the council of negative energy beings make it so that whenever the Doom Patrol gets into a fight and Larry's needed, his negative energy being can go off and fight whole Larry's in his own custom made reality where he can live a normal life, the normal life he would've had had he never encountered the negative energy being while test-piloting his doom experimental plan.

Actually that's a pretty damn good set-up. Being  able to trip while you sleep like he does. Still dangerous, but makes the experience more pleasurable.

I bet when the Chief finds out, he'll be pissed he didn't do that for Larry sooner.

Oh and he looks like a blend of his old Morrison-created identity Rebis, and his regular classic, look. I look it.

I'm going to buy the first volume trade collection myself next week since I'm missing a few issues. But yeah, very worth checking out, as is that whole Young Animal Vertigo imprint, with titles like Shade the Changing Girl, Cave Carson has A Cybernetic Eye, Mother Panic, and more.
Check 'em out. You never know what your new favorite will be.

"I'm A Motherfucking Starboy!"

To be fair, Larry's got a point there.

If you didn't already know, this is a my take on "Starboy" by The Weeknd.

Here's the video:

The Private Sex Lives of the Doom Patrol Part 3: The Negative Man

What's up people?

Ok, so who's ready for another exciting chapter of the Private Sex Lives of the Doom Patrol?????

I thought as much.
Today I continue on with my faux-documentary of the Doom Patrol and their weird sexual habits, with one of the members who would really fins it difficult to have and manage a a healthy or even unhealthy, sex life, The Negative Man.

Take it away boys......

Oh Larry....such a card....

Tune in next week when we explore the Private Sex Life of.......Rita Farr, The Elasti-Girl!!!!

Radiation Nirvana

The End

Awwww, the Negative Man's found a friend.

File this fictious meeting of the radioactive minds under the #Battleworld/Convergance banner.

I think I'm going to focus on charcacters from the big two meeting up in weird ways like this for awhile.

Why not, right?;)

Bill Cosby Blues

You know we got 'em. Dos, Bill Cosby Blues......

The End

I do believe I'm going to start using that last pic in future skits. You know, to further illustrate the ridiculousness of whatever crazy-ass scenarios take place.

Plus, its been awhile, too long, since the DP was showcased don't you think?;)

Doom and Doomer

What's up people?

Wow, Decemember and 2013 is almost over, and I still can't believe how fast it's all gone by.
Seems like just yesterday, I was ushering 2013 in, hoping it'd be a much better year than 2012.
In some areas it has; and in some others it hasn't. Still, nothing to do but remain postive and hopeful that 2014 will kick all kinds of ass, and in a very good way.

I was tempted to showcase or highlight what I thought, or rather what you thought, were the best skits and most used heroes and villains to show up this year. I think I'll leave that you guys, so if you want, let me know who you enjoyed seeing this year, what you thought was the best skit out of them all(I already know what Tiger's is:) and who you'd like to see more of and or at all next year.

Today, I riff off the title of the movie "Dumb and Dumber", and give you a skit that's truly,
Doom and Doomer!


Enjoy:)

The End

Extras:

Goddamn, can you tell I love the Doom Patrol or what?;)

Speaking of, I ordered and expect to arrive either today or tomorrow, Elasti-Girl, so I'll soon have a complete Doom Patrol. Yay! I also got Elongated Man, NU52 Superman arrived last week, and Saturday the Phantom Stranger arrived earlier than expected. And yes, you shall see them all in skits very, very soon.

That's not a threat, that's a promise:)
