Wednesday Comics: Stuff I Read in the Last Week


Injection Vol. 1
A thinktank of eccentric geniuses do a bad thing combining the occult with AI and the world may pay for it if they can't set it right. Typical Warren Ellis characters (very competent but flawed, unique protagonists) in a story that is a bit X-Files-ian (or really more reminiscent of the X-file progenitor Nigel Kneale) but with a more action-y flair.


The Terrifics #1
Four super-powered individuals (Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and a Phantom Girl) led by a genius get together to have fantastic adventures. Not a lot happens in the first issue but it ends with an appearance by [SPOILERS] Tom Strong, so they have my interest at least for a couple more issues.

So, Terrifics is the new Doom Patrol?

Well, there is still a Doom Patrol over at the Young Animal imprint (though maybe its on hiatus at the moment), but I suppose this shares a bit of that niche within the mainstream DCU.
