Interview: Dennis Culver, Chris Burnham - Unstoppable Doom Patrol

1. Something that immediately jumps out, at least for me, is the cast and how close it resembles the great TV show, was this on purpose?
2. Can you set up where fans can expect to find the team in this new series?
3. Do you have a new favorite character now that you likely have a few issues written and drawn?
4. Chris, you must have the best time drawing such an eclectic group, is there a favorite you like drawing, or maybe it's a villain?
5. What do you think defines Doom Patrol from other comics?
6. When it comes to weird, how does this series fall into that designation? 
7. What made "unstoppable" the right adjective for the new series title? 
8. I've seen folks compare the Doom Patrol to the X-Men, fair connection?
