[DC] Young Arthropod

“Why am I not like the others, Prime One? These questions! These feelings! Why am I more like an eternal of New Genesis than a bug?”

I’m no expert on many comics published by anyone outside of the big two, and certainly not even those from DC’s new Young Animal imprint. From my outsider perspective, Wildstorm, Mother Panic, Cave Carson, and Shade the Changing Girl seem to be excellent titles in their own rights - just not relevant enough to the mainstream DCU to sufficiently warrant my interest.

 

But in early May came a new contender to my attention - Bug: The Adventures of Forager. The titular character is a creation of none other than the outrageously imaginative Jack Kirby himself. While I still have a LOT of Kirby to catch up on, all you really need to know is that Bug is a humanoid bug of New Genesis’ sub-surface who feels an inexplicable calling to something greater than himself. It’s a tremendously interesting premise for a story, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this 6-issue miniseries takes this humble hero.

 

Two more to go.
