Oddly enough, that’s the only Doom Patrol collection that remains out of print. It’s sold out at Amazon, and I had to order it from one of their independent sellers.

Maybe DC refrained from reprinting Doom Patrol: Musclebound in order to avoid trouble with the Charles Atlas Company. Now that it’s all settled, they should seriously look into reprinting it, or it will start to sell for ridiculous prices everywhere.

There are a lot of rumors around this case, so I tend not to believe them without more to them than just “I heard”.

I dunno, I get the guy’s point. It’s one thing to make fun of your own IP…it’s quite another to make fun of of someone else’s.

Superhero comics need more hairy-chested men.

You could argue it was a simple balancing test…”Money we would make by selling this comic” vs. “Money we would have to spend to defend ourselves.”

And you would have to think that the former has increased a lot over the years (due to Morrison and Quitely becoming more and more famous) and the latter…well, the latter is probably about the same (in-house lawyers, and all that).

Nevertheless, this is fabulous news.

Considering DC has published numerous Superman parodies and has allowed parodies of the character from other publishers? My guess is “They would manage.”
