DC Comics Rebirth / Young Animal May 2017 Solicitations Spoilers follow.

Brothers Lee and Michael Allred come to DC Comics’ Young Animal imprint for a New Gods series focused on the Firager just in time for creator Jack Kirby’s posthumous 100th birthday.

Av has the scoop.

Young Animal showrunner Gerard Way is enthused about this new series:

      I am absolutely thrilled to have the first family of comics, the Allreds, producing Bug!: The Adventures Of Forager. This year, DC is celebrating the fantastic brain of Jack Kirby and this is our offering to that wonderful tribute. In Young Animal fashion, this miniseries takes an alternative look at a character from the past, Forager, who still has a few unturned stones in his history. The Allreds’ brand of wild and weird fits perfectly with what we are doing, and in some ways inspired various aspects of the imprint—so it only makes sense to bring them in to do what they do best. We can’t wait to show you what they’re cooking up and hope this is the first of many family projects for the imprint that they’ll be involved in.

This looks pretty cool.

No idea who Forager is? Check out this classic Who’s Who for the character.

Looks like a fine series to come.
