Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #4

DC's Young Animal imprint delivers another delightfully strange chapter with Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #4, promising "Destiny Beach Awaits" in this 2019 installment written by Gerard Way and Jeremy Lambert. Nick Derington's cover sends up the fitness-magazine aesthetic with gleeful precision — a massively built, grinning strongman flexes alongside a red-headbanded woman holding a dumbbell, surrounded by spoof headlines touting "Follicle Flavor," "Heavy Mentallo: Gyro of the Beach," and other gloriously absurd taglines. Colorist Tamra Bonvillain bathes the whole scene in a sun-drenched blue that perfectly sells the beachside-fitness parody, setting the tone for whatever wonderfully weird territory awaits inside.
