Crazy pumped for Bug. I was just gonna finish reading New Gods as prep, but I heard Cosmic Odyssey is referred to, so I'm finally getting on that too.
I'll be delayed for a few days, but Mike Mignola Fourth World isn't the worst homework!

New Vertigo comic from Tim Seeley, Imaginary Fiends.

http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/exclusive-reveal-vertigo-launches-sci-fihorror-title-imaginary-fiends-by-tim-seeley

quote:

“Polly Peachpit.” Those were the words ten-year-old Brinke Calle said when she was found covered in her own blood by the woods in rural Cannon Falls, MN. Her best friend, Melba, had just attempted to murder her because a spider girl named Polly Peachpit told her to. Since that day, Melba has spent seven years in a mental health facility. Tomorrow is her eighteenth birthday. Tomorrow, she’ll be transferred to a federal prison. Tomorrow, her real sentence will begin.

That is, until she receives a visit from FBI Agent Virgil Crockett. Crockett explains that there is another world beyond ours, where hungry spectral aliens stalk the minds of the impressionable and weak. These things, called IMPs (Interdimensional Mental Parasites) feed on compliance. They convince hosts to do things for them, and the more they feed, the stronger they become. More IMPs stream into the world each day, invisible to everyone but his or her hosts.

After years of drugs and counseling, Polly and Melba have developed a unique relationship—and to Crockett, this relationship represents something her people can work with. In exchange for release from prison, Crockett asks Melba (and Polly) to serve as IMP hunters. For Melba, it’s a chance to prove that she’s innocent, convinced to murder by a monster...a monster she must now unleash.

I know we had that picture of Superman as a milk man, but did we know the DCU/YA crossover was called Milk Wars? That's great.

Death Bed looks neat. I'll take some Rossmo gothic swamp horror. Yup.

edit: Sonny Liew on the new Young Animal series is fantastic. He was by far the best part of the last Dr Fate series.

e2: Here are the descriptions for the DCU/YA crossover

quote:

“Milk Wars” will mash up DC’s Young Animal with characters from the DC Universe, beginning with a JUSTICE LEAGUE/DOOM PATROL SPECIAL from Orlando and Way, followed by SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL/WONDER WOMAN SPECIAL, MOTHER PANIC/BATMAN SPECIAL, CAVE CARSON/SWAMP THING SPECIAL and DOOM PATROL/JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL. The weekly crossover adventure begins January 31.


And the new YA comic

quote:

ETERNITY GIRL, the new miniseries from Eisner and GLAAD-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio (Kim & Kim) and Eisner award-winning artist Sonny Liew (The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye) follows Urania Blackwell, a former CIA agent who can’t die. Her only solution? Destroy the universe first. This six-issues series launches March 2018 from DC’s Young Animal.


I hope that acknowledges that it looks very Metamorpho.

More on Milk Wars with some art and more Frank Quitely covers.
https://www.avclub.com/young-animal-crosses-over-with-dc-icons-in-this-milk-w-1820475759/amp

quote:

“Milk Wars” is built around RetCo, an interdimensional corporation that steals stories, reconfigures them and repackages them for new markets.

quote:

JLA/Doom Patrol Special by Steve Orlando, Gerard Way, and ACO has the Doom Patrol meeting RetCo’s version of the Justice League, led by Milkman Man, the last son of Krypton raised by an evil dairy farmer.

quote:

Jody Houser and Ty Templeton’s Mother Panic/Batman Special introduces Father Bruce, an orphaned billionaire who has turned the traumatizing orphanage Gather House into a school for future Robins.

quote:

Cecil Castellucci and Mirka Andolfo’s Shade The Changing Girl/Wonder Woman Special makes Shade a servant of Wonder Wife.

quote:

Jon Rivera and Langdon Foss’ Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye/Swamp Thing Special has the two horror-influenced heroes teaming up to infiltrate RetCo from within, and the event wraps up with Doom Patrol/JLA Special, teaming Orlando and Way with Dale Eaglesham.

YA "relaunching" (with the exception of Doom Patrol?) after Milk Wars.
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/12/14/gerard-way-young-animal-relaunch/


quote:

Beginning March 7, Shade has shed her alien identity, stepping out of her original Earth body into a new one. SHADE, THE CHANGING WOMAN begins as Loma, now free of the burdens of her past life, sets out to see more of her new home. But how will she cope when the madness she was forced to confront in the Milk Wars is now a mass of memory and confusion? To make things even more challenging, she’ll come face to face with the original Changing Man. Writer Cecil Castellucci and artist Marley Zarcone will continue to helm Loma’s adventures.


quote:

Then on March 21, after a year of multiverse-hopping, Cave Carson returns to a normal life of digging and cave-diving, but it just isn’t the same for the explorer. Time fast-forwards as Cave and his daughter Chloe are sucked into an all-new adventure—literally—when they go spelunking in a black hole! CAVE CARSON HAS AN INTERSTELLAR EYE continues with writer Jon Rivera and artist Michael Avon Oeming.


quote:

Then on March 28, follow Violet Paige as she finds herself in a Gotham City unlike anything she’s known before. MOTHER PANIC: GOTHAM A.D. begins ten years into the future, in a world without a Batman, with Gotham City now in the hands of a Collective. In a high-tech town with zero tolerance toward caped crusaders, what’s a woman who has vowed vengeance to do? The series is written by Jody Houser with art by Tommy Lee Edwards and Ibrahim Moustafa (SAVAGE THINGS).

Obviously, they're the same comics/creators with the titles slightly changed to reflect new arcs.

I dunno if you stopped for any particular reason. I like 'em all, but they haven't changed much.
Mother Panic got John Paul Leon on art for three issues. That was neat. He's the guy doing Creature of The Night, which everyone should be reading right now.

Shade is still my top comic, but Cave Carson really went crazy bombastic wrapping up the 'season (or whatever.)' That was really fun.
edit: and super gross.

Milk Wars was obviously supposed to start after Doom Patrol #11. It's nothing huge where you can't just jump in where it is and extrapolate stuff, but Terry's given birth to "nothing", Retconn's launched a rocket at Earth and the Patrol escaped before this issue starts.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:

Anything I should know going in?

I think Doom Patrol kinda assumes you're familiar with Morrison's run and Flex Mentallo. I'm not sure it gives enough characterization to the returning cast for new readers, so I'd get on that, or at least read about the old characters.

The rest are pretty much good to go. Just understand that Shade and Cave Carson are returning worlds. They may refer to things, but nobody's expecting you to go dig out old Cave Carson comics. Mother Panic is wholly original (edit: except for a Batman villain that eventually joins the cast)

Bug, a post-launch miniseries, is a trip through lesser known Jack Kirby creations. You may want to look stuff up, but it's not necessary.

The depiction of a character in DC continuity limbo is something else in Milk Wars #4. A crucifixion involving DC logo stigmata. I hope that's hard, hard canon.

I almost feel like so much of DP #11 is explained so far, that they might as well skip it and try and get 12 out faster.

New Sandman related series for Vertigo overseen by Neil Gaiman, including new volumes of Books of Magic and Lucifer.


http://ew.com/books/2018/03/01/neil-gaiman-sandman-universe-comics/

quote:

Gaiman is coming back to the Dreaming in a big way. EW can exclusively announce that DC Comics is launching a Sandman Universe line of four new comic series. The books will be overseen by Gaiman but written and drawn by brand new creative teams. They will pick up story threads and themes from The Sandman while also adding new characters and concepts.


quote:

The project kicks off this August with The Sandman Universe one-shot special, which will catch readers up on what’s been happening in Dream’s realm.
The Sandman Universe #1 will be plotted by Gaiman but written by Nalo Hopkinson, Kat Howard, Si Spurrier, and Dan Watters, with art by Bilquis Everly and a cover by Jae Lee. Each of those four writers will then go on to explore the special’s various threads in four new series.


quote:

Hopkinson will write House of Whispers and explore how the voodoo deity Erzulie ended up in the Dreaming with her titular house. It might have something to do with a comatose woman named Latoya, whose girlfriend and sisters used the Book of Whispers to try and heal her. Now out of her coma, Latoya is suffering from the Cotard’s Delusion belief that she’s already dead, and is transmitting her belief to others, catalyzing them to become guardians of the gap that has opened in the Dreaming.


quote:

Howard will write Books of Magic, which will follow up on Gaiman’s 1990 miniseries of the same name and explore Timothy Hunter’s magical education as he’s torn between two powerful destinies.


quote:

Spurrier will write The Dreaming, which will follow The Sandman supporting characters like Lucien the librarian and Matthew the Raven as they navigate a Dreaming without Dream.


quote:

Watters will write Lucifer, which finds the titular devil blind and destitute, trapped living in a small boarding house in a quiet town where no one can ever leave.

Confirmation that every Young Animal title other than Doom Patrol is ending at #6 of their rebrands.
http://www.comicsbeat.com/exclusive-dcs-young-animal-winds-down-for-now-but-doom-patrol-will-return/

I might close this thread and shift discussion into the DC megathread. We never really got enough posts here anyway.
Maybe Vertigo will deserve it's own thread again when the Sandman comics and their relaunch start up later in the year.

YA 4EVA!!
