National security reporter Spencer Ackerman, writer Evan Narcisse, and artist Jes\u00fas Merino celebrate WildStorm’s legacy of espionage-flavored superhero morality plays, pitting Stormwatch against the deadliest people in the DCU.

But he doesn\u2019t know Kane has a new ally, the ambitious Amanda Waller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doom Patrol is back, and Robotman, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man, Beast Girl, and Jane\u2019s new alter the Chief, are on a mission to save the new metahumans created by the Lazarus rain. First up is a stop in Gotham to rescue a metahuman trapped in a Metagen testing facility, and Batman shows up! Also, the Brain faces off with General Immortus! Written by Dennis Culver with art by Chris Burnham. (I have to say there were not enough swears from Robotman for me. I do enjoy Brendan Fraser yelling and swearing on the Doom Patrol show.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
