Doom Patrol #12

The twelfth chapter of this DC series brings the full ensemble into sharp focus, with Matthew Clark and John Livesay's cover arranging the Doom Patrol in a striking collage — Robotman's glowing red eyes loom large at the top, flanked by the bandaged visage of Negative Man, while a determined Cliff Steele figure, a dark-haired young woman in a cape, and an insectoid armored character surge forward in the center, with a curly-haired woman and a silver-bearded older man framing the composition. It's a confident display of just how eclectic this team is, hinting at the layered tensions that the title "False Front" promises within. Keith Giffen's 2010 run on Doom Patrol consistently delivered offbeat superhero storytelling, and this issue looks like no exception.
