Doom Patrol #1

In "Crawling from the Wreckage," Cliff, confined to a mental hospital, is visited by Will Magnus, who introduces him to another patient, Kay Challis. Meanwhile, Niles outlines his vision for a new Doom Patrol to Joshua, while Larry, in a separate facility, finds an unexpected connection with the Negative Spirit and his nurse, Eleanor Poole.

In "Cautionary Tales," Niles visits Larry—now Rebis, a haunting fusion of Larry, Eleanor Poole, and the Negative Spirit—while the Scissormen launch their invasion, striking at the hospital where Cliff and Jane are trapped. The story unfolds with quiet dread, blending psychological tension and surreal horror as the Doom Patrol faces a threat that blurs the line between mind and monster.

In "Worlds in Collision," Cliff and Jane arrive at Doom Patrol headquarters in Kansas City only to discover the city overrun by Orqwith and the Scissormen—forcing them to flee to Rhode Island, where they soon realize the threat has followed them. The story unfolds as a tense, grounded chase across shifting realities, with the team’s survival hanging on their ability to stay one step ahead.
