Your Happenstance page for today:

Hey, it's the Doom Patrol!...maybe? Kind of? From the 2002 Doom Patrol #4, "Blink...and it's Gone" Written by John Arcudi and illustrated by Tan Eng Huat. When Robotman and his new team quit their corporate sponsor, they lose the rights to the name, and a new version is formed with former member Beast Boy, recently not dead Metamorpho, the non-rapist Dr. Light, and a strangely wifeless Elongated Man. Seriously, did Sue have the flu or something? Weird to see Ralph without her.

This was a great looking, but not easy reading, comic; which may have played against it. Also, as we find out in #5, Robotman hadn't really been there the whole time, as Cliff finally tries to ask Rex why he's not dead:

Man, if that sort of thing happened in the X-Men books, there wouldn't be room for anything else. I do like the idea of Metamorpho with the Doom Patrol, which I think was first postulated in that Silver Age event, and came up again in Byrne's Doom Patrol as well. He'd be a good fit, yet bring a little levity to the group.

Anyway, after a moderately terrible week of work, the boys and I are going to X-Men Origins: Wolverine tonight! Have a good weekend!
