Here it is, the high-water mark of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run. The behind-the-scenes teasers in earlier issues have stoked the reader's anticipation and teased him/her with their tantalizing glimpses of the creatures inside and under the Pentagon. Now the Doom Patrol must confront the government conspiracy, team with Flex Mentallo to rescue his creator, Wallace Sage, and stop the mysterious evil being at the heart of the White Abyss, buried deep inside the Ant Farm, the horrible "City Where No One Goes".

Prepare your mind, because this is where Grant really lets loose his awesome imagination. Breaking comic book conventions as easily as Cliff Steele breaks heads, Morrison thrusts the reader into climax after climax, until all secrets are laid bare in one last fateful encounter. And, after the final battle is over and the final page turned, you'll rush back here to check if volume 5 has been released yet!

Five stars!

This volume contains what is some of the worst art I have ever seen in a trade paperback. The second issue in particular really stands out as some slapped together work. Good thing for the Doom Patrol that Grant Morrison is one of the greatest minds in comics today. Despite the poor art, this title still rocks. If you aren't familiar with Doom Patrol and refuse to pick up vol 1, this is the next best place to start. It begins the final swing for Morrison's great run on Doom Patrol. A must have for Morrison fans.

Fast, hassle free puchase of a classic collection. THANK YOU.
