The Doom Patrol is at their most comfortable when the rules of reality are either bending or breaking. But how will they manage to keep it together when they literally trade reality for a virtual one. Welcome… to The Bozumatricks.

From the very start, no book has better captured the Young Animal mission statement of doing the unthinkable, the unpredictable, the borderline understandable than Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds. As writers Gerard Way and Jeremy Lambert have sent that team through various levels of consciousness, and a cosmic divorce proceeding, but their next challenge is purely digital. In any other book, that might mean it would be safer… but not in our preview of Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #6.

After the previous issue saw Robotman and a reader do battle with one of the Scissormen, the fun is over fast in this series’ sixth installment. When the orb god Corban returns to request even further help from the latest incarnation of the Doom Patrol, the team doesn’t hesitate. Unfortunately, it isn’t their normal kind of adventure (and for them, that’s really saying something). To tackle this task, they’re going to head into a medium-altering virtual realm known as ‘The Bozumatricks.’ Gods help them. Take a look at the preview pages below:

The team has come a long way since their first run-in with “the fanatical fitness fields of Orbius and the Marathan eternal,” but it appears the citizens of Orbius have once again found themselves in need of desperate help, brain-locked by the Body-Movin Virtual Reality System. The exact role to be played by ‘Digital Justin,’ the Bozumatricks version of the orb who befriended the team in Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #1, isn’t yet clear. All that’s teased is his guidance once the team transform into their own new, digital forms. The sight of which will continue to haunt us until the full issue arrives on December 11th, 2019. Take a look at the full plot synopsis and details below:

  • DOOM PATROL: WEIGHT OF THE WORLDS #6 Published: December 11th, 2019 Writer: Gerard Way, Jeremy Lambert Art: Omar Francia Cover: Nick Derington When an alien virtual reality machine spirals out of control and encompasses an all-too-familiar planet, the Doom Patrol traverses the boundaries of a new computer-generated reality to restore the world back to “not exactly normal but at least not CGI.”
