I want to like this, but after three issues of it, I'm considering dropping it. The cast is thoroughly unlikeable. The 'sentient black hole' idea isn't bad, but it's SO BORING. For all they've done, the Doom Patrol could have just sent a couple of mannequins to let the 'first scientist' just blather on and on and on and then kill over 110,000 people.
Couple that with the bleak tone (look Mento's helmet is actually a defense mechanism, but that's OK, he's also a mind-raper. And Doc's cool with that, as long as he does his job and mind-controls Rita on command. It's not badly written, I just don't enjoy it at ALL. Maybe it's just not to my taste, I guess.
