DC ’s Young Animals imprint is giving us some of the weirdest , most pleasurable Good Book around of late — Doom Patrol , Cave Carson , Shade the Changing Girl , the list blend on . The latest leger heading to Gerard Way ’s impression is equally weird , but it ’s a pull back far into the wonderful thinker of the legendary Jack Kirby . Forager the hemipterous insect returns !
Yes , Forager — first create by Kirby in 1972 as a humanoid microbe from a “ micro - life ” civilization that live in on New Genesis , home to Kirby ’s pantheon of New Gods — is the star of Young Animal ’s first miniseries , by Lee Allred , his buddy Michael Allred , and Michael ’s married woman Laura Allred . First revealed by theA.V. Clubtoday , Bug ! : The escapade Of Forager will run as a part of DC ’s on-going jubilation of Kirby ’s calling this class to check off what would ’ve been the comic strip ikon ’s 100th natal day .
The serial publication itself will see Forager on a grumpy - dimensional journeying through the multiverse , and as the covering imply , there could be more than a few appearances from other Kirby fable — Sandman , Blue Beetle , and Atlas are just a few of the already - confirmed appearing across the miniseries .
Young Animal has quickly become a family for DC to taste out some really quirky , fun , and imaginative comics , so it ’s great to see it being a part of the newspaper publisher ’s wider celebration of Kirby this year . Hopefully Forager will end up just as merriment and weird as the rest of the imprint ’s production has been so far .
