From Luke Cage #1; Luke Cage beats up a mutant hippo.
I also particularly liked this page, not just because it has Cage in his old costume, but also because it's a subtle callback to the fact that, despite being the original Hero for Hire, Cage would often make excuses to avoid taking payment from people that couldn't afford it.
From Doom Patrol #9, which ended the most recent arc, and was probably my favorite issue of the series thus far. The arc's focused on a group of interdimensional repo men attacking the Doom Patrol's base of operations, Oolong Island, in order to reclaim the last remnant of Danny the Street, now known as Danny the Brick, from Crazy Jane, who's secretly been sequestered in Oolong's psych ward.
Giffen seems to be getting into a good groove now, and doing the humor that he does so well. Case in point, Negative Man's plan to keep Danny the Brick away from the repo men.
Later, Danny the Brick secured, he transfers his consciousness into a new vessel.
And on the final page, two surprise guests join the cast.
Fuck. Yes.
DC need to get to work on making Ambush Bug their Deadpool.
I didn't know that Doom Patrol was making use of the Morrison weirdness again. Apart from that run and the original series from My Greatest Adventure, I've never had much interest in the team.

It really just started with this arc. Honestly, for anyone interested in reading, start with issue #7. Everything prior to that was pretty middling, and only redeemed by the existence of the Metal Men back-up.
I wish Giffen hadn't been sucked into the Blackest Night business, because that entire arc was forgettable, and really only served to delay the more interesting stuff he's now started to do. With this arc, he's begun pulling from all the incarnations of the Doom Patrol, bringing back the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Man, Danny, Jane, and Thayer Jost, from Arcudi's run on the title.
If the quality continues to climb, I could see Doom Patrol quickly becoming DC's best (and least read) team book.
