Warning! Contains spoilers for Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1!The World's Strangest Heroes are back for a new adventure in Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1. The unconventional superhero team take on a bold new cause in the latest book to come out as part of the Dawn of DC initiative.

The Doom Patrol is one of the DC Universe's most eccentric teams, mostly composed of people who suffered terrible accidents and received powers as a result. The crew of misfits developed a reputation for taking on the more weird and bizarre threats in the DC Universe, even saving the Earth from several strange apocalyptic events. For the past few years, the Doom Patrol has been absent from the DCU, but they made their much-anticipated return in Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1. Fans got to see the team in the Doom Patrol's new mission of saving and rehabilitating the metahumans that have cropped up as a result of the magical storms in Lazarus Planet.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 is the Team at Their Best

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 by Dennis Culver, Chris Burnham, and Brian Reber hits the ground running by sending the team straight into the action. The Doom Patrol arrive in Gotham City to respond to an accident regarding an out-of-control metahuman. Led by Crazy Jane in her new alter as the Chief, Robotman, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man and new addition Beast Girl head to the source of the chaos: Metagen, a company looking to make a profit from experimenting on the new wave of metahumans. Unfortunately, their work with a metahuman known as Degenerate created a chaotic situation that unfortunately also draws the attention of a certain caped crusader. Meanwhile, the Doom Patrol's old nemesis, the Brain, now in an upgraded, robotic ape body, works with Monsieur Mallah to find their old ally from the Brotherhood of Evil, General Immortus.

From start to finish, there's a lot of action going on in the book. From Brain and Mallah fighting Immortus' armies to the Patrol taking on Metagen and their experiments, the book moves at a rapid pace. Chris Burham's art is perfect for this sort of title, which allows him to draw monsters and mayhem in his unique visual style. Culver also nails the tone of each individual member of the Doom Patrol and establishes a fantastic dynamic for the team that's both comical and endearing. Though the Doom's Patrol's current mission is very new, it really does feel like the next logical step for the team.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol is the Perfect Evolution for the Team

At its core, there's a real heart in this book. The Doom Patrol has always been one of DC's biggest non-traditional teams. But rather than sitting on the sidelines and stopping the occasional world-ending event, they're becoming an active part of the DCU. Their desire to save the metahumans of the world feels natural for the team and gives them a goal that's authentic to what the Doom Patrol really is: A caring group of misfits. It's a weird start to an already weird franchise. But it could be the team's most meaningful book yet. Whether a longtime fan of the team or a first time reader, Unstoppable Doom Patrol is a hilariously weird and action-packed story any comic fan will enjoy. Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 is on sale now.
