Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds

This is essentially a collection of six one-issue stories, albeit with a plot arc in the background about Cliff trying to rediscover his humanity and heroism and going about it all the wrong way. Some of the individual stories are good and some less so. The story about Flex's former beach being threatened by a villainous spandex jockstrap is, for example, exactly the sort of thing that this comic should be about, and there's a good story that brings back some characters from an earlier run in a suitably peculiar way. On the other hand, I'm not entirely sure what was going on with Larry, as that part of the plot seemed to disappear after issue #2, and the episode in cyberspace felt surprisingly formulaic. At times it feels that Way is overdoing the weirdness at the expense of plot or characterisation. Yes, even in Doom Patrol, that is possible.
