DC Comics Rebirth & December / November 2017 Solicitations Spoilers: DC’s Young Animal Bug: The Forager #5 & #6 Cancelled & Resolicited? New Gods 2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back?

News

DC Comics Rebirth and December / November 2017 Solicitations Spoilers for DC’s Young Animal Forager series follows.

DC Comics has cancelled New Gods centric series Bug: The Adventures of the Firager #5 and #6 that had been solicitaed for September and October 2017. However, fear not, Lee Allred has indicated that they will be resolicited with Forager #5 in November 2017 and Forager #6 in December 2017.

This feels like 2 steps forward and 1 step back. The 2 steps forward would be the new Mister Miracle (spoilers here) series for DC Rebirth and the New Gods and Metal centric arc in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (spoilers here) with, sadly, the 1 step back being Bug: The Adventures of teh Forager. That said, it’s a good time to be a New Gods fan at DC Comics.

Here were the original solicitations and, yes, Forager #5 has been confirmed by DC for November 2017.

      BUG!: THE ADVENTURES OF FORAGER #5

      In this issue, Bug’s pursuit of Chagra takes him not to the past but to a strange future: The world that’s coming! The latest reality shard pings Bug into OMAC’s timeline at a point where things look dire for Buddy Blank. Is it possible that Buddy’s family is the key to this whole thing? You could say that Chagra’s scheme just might be a Blank slate!

      This is it: part six of “The Domino Effect”! Chagra promised he wouldn’t alter reality until Forager returned to New Genesis, but did anyone actually believe him? Seems our beloved Bug might have. Luckily he’s got a savvy teddy bear and ghost girl around to keep him focused, or else he might fall apart like a house of cards!
