#30 - Doom Patrol & Umbrella Academy [Across the Pages]

Across the Pages (AxP) is our series where we take two similar-ish characters/teams/concepts from different creators or publishers and give their various forms of media a well-deserved spotlight. This time, we've got a couple uncanny teams to talk about: Doom Patrol and the Umbrella Academy. One of them a group of super-powered "siblings" collected from all over the world at birth, the other a group of misfits and mishaps. We give our thoughts on both first seasons of the shows for each property, as well as an arc from each comic book history: Doom Patrol's Crawling from the Wreckage and Umbrella Academy's Apocalypse Suite.  --Follow the Weapons on Twitter @Comic_Patrol for some extra tidbits of fun (we maybe promise it isn't dick pics)--  0:00 D'Lethal Weapons Intro  Meat and Potatoes - The flavour of the day and main topic of discussion for the given episode after general chit chat and an absolutely terrible introduction. (theme by audionautix.com)  Hero Draft - Our very own comic based fantasy league! With 32 character names plucked 2 by 2 from an actual, real-life hat (one by each co-host), we pit them against each other in battle, games, sports and contests each week in an elimination tournament format. (theme by Komiku) Hero Draft Season 1: Marvel Heroes, Round 3
