doom patrol is really good because it frames superpowers as intrinsic to trauma in a way that i think is really productive and interesting? i read the grant morrison run at exactly the right time in college and it really left a footprint in me. i super recommend it.
i have already cried three times about brendan fraser robotman so suffice to say i’m hype.
