WPL: New Comics Discussion for 10/14/2026- Pull of the Week: Doom Patrol #2 [Discussion]

The [Weekly Pull List results]() for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Doom Patrol #2.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of DC's Doom Patrol or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

DOOM PATROL #2

Pretty good second issue. I can't help wonder if the tech billionaire's daughter is just bait to get rid of the Doom Patrol although that doesn't seem wise. Without that request to get her back the team would just be chilling at home. Rita seems very snippy which may be due to their current housing situation. Larry burying the cat was sweet lol.

I keep getting flashbacks to the TV show. The road trip with everyone squabbling, followed by a portal to the team's actual destination happened in the first season.

Otherwise, a pretty decent second issue. I've always liked seeing Rita's body dysmorphia play out ever since Giffin introduced it. The Villain's costumes are also pretty fun.

Doom patrol has to be one of my favorite reads. Always a great dynamic on the team, leading to a lot of funny moments and quite a few gut punching ones.

I like that Cliff, Larry, and Rita were told by Niles whet to do before they revisited memories of their past, went on a road trip, encountered Warp, and were supposedly killed (except for Cliff). Let’s hope that Cliff will be relieved that Rita and Larry survived in the next issue. Overall, this comic is good.
