Brothers in Blood!
by Arnold Drake, Bruno Premiani
The Doom Patrol teams up with the Brotherhood of Evil to fight Zarox-13. Robotman isn’t buying it but the Chief makes him the Patrol’s envoy to the Brotherhood’s HQ. The Brain pretends likes he wants to form an alliance with the aliens in order to learn how they plan to destroy the Earth.
The Chief uses truth serum on Madame Rouge and gets her to reveal her origin story. She tells him of how the Brain saved her life and in the process destroyed all goodness in her. That’s as far as this part of her story goes but there are hints that there will be more in the next issue. There is something wrong here. The Chief using truth serum on Madame Rouge, and lets be perfectly clear here he slipped her a mickey and then interrogated her. There was no consent given. I guess she's a villain so he can justify it that way but it still stinks.
The best part of the story as always is Robotman getting reckless and punchy. He spars with first Monsieur Mallah and then Zarox-13
Wait of the Wilderness
by Arnold Drake, Bruno Premiani
A retelling of Beast Boy’s origin. Hard to tell if the lingo Gar uses at the beginning of the story is supposed to be taken seriously or is Drake’s way of laughing at the way some kids talked in 1967.
