Tried to be too many things at once...

All-New Doop - Marvel Comics

It felt unnecessarily long and convoluted, while it couldn't quite decide what it wanted to be.   Normally, those types of shenanigans would get a lower star rating, but this was fun, and reminded me that I've yet to read X-Statix so it gets a bit of a pass.

 

The art, in particular, was wonderful.   And for the first couple of issues, it was genuinely funny and I loved it, even while feeling bad for Doop.   Except all the things I loved about those first couple of issues?   Were just a plot device to get Kitty where she needed to go.  

 

I'm not sure why a series about Doop was all about Kitty, either.  

 

It was just... weird.   And confusing.   And pretty damn introspective for a series this ridiculous, and the introspection was yet another small, saving grace that lifted this up from a one-star review. 

 

Do I suggest this?  I could easily see it working for a different reader, but it didn't do it for me.   If the things I mention above bother you, then no, but if not, go for it!
