Doom Patrol #1 by Darcy Van Poelgeest & Niko Henrichon launching in September!

Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol is my greatest influence in writing Geek-Girl and Cabra Cini, and I'm excited to have just learned The World's Strangest Heroes will be getting a new series in September, written by Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird, Precious Metal) and illustrated by Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad).

The Doom Patrol are broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a 'simple case' of a missing cat.

But when this case proves to be far from simple, the team find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation!

And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man, and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality, a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

Doom Patrol #1 releases September 2nd.
