About the series
John Byrne’s 2004–2006 run on Doom Patrol for DC Comics is a solo, writer-artist affair that reimagines the team as a covert U.S. government strike force. This 18-issue series strips down the surrealist roots of the concept, focusing on a more militarized, action-driven take with a new lineup. While divisive among fans of the team’s weirder legacy, it stands as a distinctive, creator-driven chapter in the Patrol’s long history.
