  Given I've been a big fan of the character for most of my comic reading life, I'm delighted with the renewed attention that Beast Boy looks to be receiving, and this issue offers up a fairly enjoyable sequence that manages to convey Gar's power in a highly impressive manner. The book also does a pretty fair job of following up on the story we received in the previous issue, as we get a good idea of what this group of "villains" are trying to accomplish, and how it involves the members of Doom Patrol. It is sad to realize that this book's days are numbered, as this is a highly engaging series, that managed to follow rather nicely in the footsteps of the previous Doom Patrol series, in that it offered up plots that were nicely situated outside the box, while not losing sight of the main goal, which is the delivery of an entertaining twenty-two pages of story month in and month out. I do hope the question of whether Cliff has a soul is resolved before the final issue rolls around. Read Full Review
