5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Phimister-Spine. I can explain everything., 3 Feb 2010
By Greg B. Meldrum (Aberdeen, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Collecting Doom Patrol #35-41, this volume of Grant Morrison's exploration of irrationality is definitely one of the more insane episodes in the team's existence. Kicking off with the threat of Mr. Jones and the fake Men From N.O.W.H.E.R.E, our team of rejects, oddities and outsiders is rapidly spirited off to another world entirely in pursuit of errant member Rhea, where they are involved, from various perspectives, in a stagnant alien war in desperate need of creativity. Oh, and in amongst all that, we get the debut of the DP's new sentient HQ, along with the arrival of the legendary Flex Mentallo.

Now, if all that sounds completely warped, then it is, even by this team's standards. But it's some ride. The team's new member, Danny the Street, is exactly that, a living transvestite thoroughfare, whose otherwise manly shopfronts are glammed up to the nines. It's this level of charming, camp whimsy that provides such a great counterpoint to the metaphysical exploits the team indulge in later in the book. Likewise, the deeply repellent but darkly comic Mr. Jones, a pinnacle of Normality, lives his life like a twisted 1950s sitcom, utterly opposed to quirks or weirdness. To him, a transvestite street is the ultimate abomination, and the punishment dished out to him is extremely funny and utterly fitting.

On the other hand, the demented adventure the team experiences with the alien Kaleidoscape and Insect Mesh factions is not, for me, one of their greatest, simply because it is so divorced from the mundane reality the team normally pays tangential lip-service to. Nonetheless, it is full of concept after eccentric concept, Morrison simply offering up and throwing away within a matter of panels the kind of crazy ideas that other writers would use to pad out a 5-year saga, assuming they even had such notions in the first place. Relentlessly inventive, Morrison is a whirlwind of creativity in this volume, and artist Richard Case responds by conjuring up some wonderful alien images, particularly Cliff Steele's spidery new body.

On the whole then, another fine but mixed collection of exploits by the World's Strangest Heroes. Oh, and remember, if you have Mr. Phimister-Spine round for dinner, don't serve skinless stew. And don't point out that he's got a lava-lamp for a head either...
