Why read doom patrol?

04:42 / 27.04.04

Need some back up here, loaned keith masaru keith fell in love with a girl, keith this or that the complete run of grant morrison's doom patrol probably about, what, five months ago, and he has been sitting on them. I would like them back, but i would rather have them back after he has finished reading them. Anyone want to back me up and give him some reason's to put down the babylon five season four dvd's and pick up some wacky superhero nonsense? I think he has tired of me telling him how great it is, need some back up.

Keith, like a scientist

not sure whether to post this in Comics or Headshop.
link to Steven Shaviro's Doom Patrols, canonical Postmodernism *theory*.
Chapter One is about Grant Morrison. what's your opinion?

A single page of DOOM PATROL may also contain allusions and references to Gnostic heresies, pop music, and chaos theory, to Thomas De Quincey and Andy Warhol and Jack Kirby, to the Brothers Grimm and Salvador Dali and Mr. Ed, to X-Ray Spex and My Bloody Valentine and T. S. Eliot and Terence McKenna. The comic shows an amazing capacity for sucking up and regurgitating the detritus of Anglo-American (and world) culture. It annihilates categories of high and low, proper and improper, subjecting all distinctions to a continual play of absorption, mimicry, frantic accumulation, and prodigal display. It opposes the dreariness of standardized routine with its continual show of recombinant delirium.

Yes, I agree, its packed chock full of good stuff.

Keith still hasn't returned my comics. He claims to have read the complete run and only needs to finish doom force. I long for the day when they are back in my possession.
