First Strike: The Invasion! Podcast Ep.32: Doom Patrol #18

It's the end of the Doom Patrol as we knew them! Before they crawl from the wreckage, they must deal with Invasion fall-out. Unlike other heroes, the DP can never catch a break! Siskoid and Bass not only discuss Doom Patrol #18's Invasion Aftermath tie-in, but the team's publication history.

Highlights from Doom Patrol #18, by Paul Kupperberg, Graham Nolan and Timothy Dzon:

The Chief really ought to have known Garguax was gonna invade next.

Larry Trainer is the first to fall in this issue.

"Hot Hands" rallies against the Sirens...

...but the warrior women still manage to nerf Negative Woman but good!

Garguax runs out of luck. Earth is pretty tired of getting invaded, you see.

Celsius' funeral, with a strange cameo by Dorothy Spinner in the back there.

Invasion killed the Doom Patrol. Long live the Doom Patrol!
