The World’s Strangest Heroes Are Back — and They’re Broke!

Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the Doom Patrol finds itself responding to a simple case — a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the veil of our reality, a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.
