Creative Team

 

The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.

The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case — a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes 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’s latest heroing-for-hire gig has brought Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man face-to-face with a massive UFO and its strange — and rather gloopy — inhabitants.

Now, as Negative Man breaches the minds and memories of these alien invaders, he finds himself digging into the Doom Patrol’s past and future… and the mysterious young girl who seems to be intrinsically connected to both.
