About this Collection
This volume collects the first six issues of the 2010 Doom Patrol series, written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis with art by Matthew Clark. The story follows a newly assembled team of misfits—including the likes of Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Girl—as they confront bizarre threats and grapple with their own fractured identities. The arc 'We Who Are About to Die' sets a darker, more introspective tone for the classic DC team, blending surreal humor with existential drama.

In "null," the Doom Patrol faces a haunting threat as Black Lanterns—Celsius, Tempest, and Negative Woman—rise from the dead to target those they once cared for, their reanimated forms driven by twisted echoes of emotion. The team must confront not just the physical danger, but the emotional weight of past bonds, as the line between memory and menace blurs.
