It’s been forever but I finally decided to get from hole and posting something. Watching Doom Patrol put me in a mood for weird comics so I thought to check the dc imprint and see what’s there. Starting with Bug! and going continuing with the other titles.

it's a ride. the trick of the book is that kind of plays off the rumor that Forrager might have been Jack Kirby's take on Spider-man in a couple places.

Yup. While I like aspects about Cosmic Odyssey making Orion the blow hard in that comic fucked him up so much. Killing Forager too was also so terrible just well there is so much there for a good recurring character

I think most of the young animal series are worth a read. Doom Patrol and Cave Carson are the best, Shade is love it and hate it, and the other ones are kind of self indulgent, like I wanted to like the Eternity girl but reading six issues of depression metaphor take that one issue of Sandman with Element woman it just did not resonate.
Juan Collins
They were all pretty good, I liked eternity girl best as it pretty much nailed that early vertigo feel.
Lucas Bailey
This plan is worrisome.
Gabriel Watson
That is really good to hear. Now I'm looking forward to this storytime. I'm going to do a TPB a day. Next up with be Shade, then Mother Panic, Cave Carson, Doom Patrol, and then Milk Wars. IF peeps could recommend a better order I would love to know. I do have the singles on hand but i do love posting complete collections in one go.

Doom patrol was like Gerald Way's fanfic of Grant Morrison's doom patrol but in a good way.
Cave Carson had a tom strong vibe.
Shade the changing girl was amazing ut Shade the changing woman was disappointing.
Mother Panic was basically Batwoman Max.
Milk wars was weird diversion but we got meta jesus elastigirl and some great tie ins.

so basically it's the first 2 vols of each, 2 vols of doom patrol that lead in to milk wars, then eternity girl, followed by the sequel books (shade the changing woman/cave cason has an interstellar eye/mother panic gotham AD) alternatively you could just do each series (the 3 trades in a row) so as to not lose any story info but it's dealer's choice

Charles Ross
That's not how that happened, Orion wasn't even remotely mean towards Bug and they were driendly before Starlin decided making him hate bugs and making the term bug be the N-word for Forager's people.
Other than the Orion shitting this is a good story.
J'onn daring John Stewart to kill himself was pretty bad too. I guess Starlin tried to pass it as tough love type of moment but it made J'onn look like an asshole.
The art was good, but it's Mignola so of course it is.
Jayden Barnes
Bug, you just became so much cooler in my eyes. If I ever was put in charge of a Justice League book I'd be sure to include you.
>The series would be called Justice League: D Squad
>The premise is that Superman approaches Blue Beetle and asks him to personally lead his own picked JL team. Superman sees the world globally and realizes Beetle will create a "personable" team with greater internal trust than standard JL.

I feel like they could to. The only ones I don't have as strong of an understanding of are Element Woman and Wild-Dog. I picked Element Woman for her power-set as that makes her a top tier member (along with Zatanna - Canary is a beast but maybe not that level). I also love the idea of Wild-Dog but I have next to no knowledge beyond his appearance on Arrow and a few pages from Cave Carson. His design though is pure sex and the idea of a DC Casey Jones is more than enticing. Would love any recommendations for either character.
Christian Scott

Spoiler at your own risk.
I hate to ask in this thread but,
Is Bug dead? I think I remember him dying due to Orion in Tom King's Mister Miracle series. Because if so fuck that shit. Why must King insist on breaking his toys?!?!?! Just see Heroes in Crisis. The idea behind it is beautiful and haunting, the execution just leaves so much to be desired.
Aaron Price
I honestly don't know
Anthony Turner
it wasn't real.
Nathan Gomez
Ok cool
Caleb Roberts
My fucking man. Thank you for clearing that up. Bug is now in my top ten easily for DC characters.
I'm also really excited for the next upcoming Young Animal arc. If it came down to it, would it be preferred that I post Mother Panic or Shade, The Changing Girl (stll gotta post Cave Carson and Doom Patrol last).
Isaiah Gray
>I'm also really excited for the next upcoming Young Animal arc
Young Animal ain't coming back and we all know it.
Matthew Cooper
I mean in the context of this storytime. I still gotta every other title to go. Kinda weird to know though that the title is dead so in essence I'm doing everything from start to finish.....hopefully people find enjoyment!
Cooper Jones
I really liked this series. It's weird but at the same time has a certain charm and warmth that is lacking in the something like the most recent Mr. Miracle run.
His story was a nice counterpoint to Orion's story in the original New Gods run. You had the sturm und drang of Orion's battles with the forces of Apocalypse and then you had Forager who was just trying to figure out who he was.
I do find it interesting that Cosmic Odyssey is the jumping off point for this tale since it is often as not retconned away in the minds of a lot of 4th World fans.
James Clark
Yeah just like a web shooter! But well later incarnations mostly the 70's gave him more Spider-man like poses and looks. Not 1-1 but it's there.
Connor James
He was in the last episode of Batman the Brave and the Bold if you care.
Adventure Bug was also in this Starfire solo from 2015.
Landon Garcia
In the original New Gods Orion does say, "Hah! It's a "bug"! You've caught yourself a lowly "bug"!
But that was before Forager took off his mask and showed them he was a New God.
In Cosmic Odyssey Batman tells everyone of Forager's sacrifice and Orion quips, "Well how do you like that?! Who would have thought the Bug had it in him?"
And then Batman socks him one. I agree it is a bit wonky, character wise for Orion.
Lincoln Perez
Yeah, the ending is really what put it over the top for me.
Oh man, this is all SOOOO Mormon. Of course it helps that Jack Kirby adapted Biblical symbolism and allegory in a science fictiony way. I think the fact that Mormon cosmology reads like science fiction is probably why there are so many SF and comic writers that are LDS including the Allreds.
Christopher Sanders
I really wanted to like the character, but, I was already heavy into one spider-hero.
Eli Murphy
Well since I brought it up for reference let's do a history. A history of Spider-man likes by DC and the companies DC bought. The Blue Beetle created by Steve Ditko aka Ted Kord series back in the 1960's act as kind of lost Ditko Spider-man stories. The sense that he was out gunned by most thing and used his smarts to take them down. He even later reveled his identity to his love interest.
Joseph Hernandez
Blue Beetle III Jaime Reyes, Jaime acts as kind of a contrast to Spider-man. One problem he has is that people just assume he's Spider-man and have him act like it not knowing how different his series actually is.One aspect is his very Guyver aspect of his stories.Still Jaime is great because of his contrast to the classic Spider-man status quo and willingness to break it.
Ryan Collins
Now let's get to star of the storytime and the rumor. One of the big Kirby truther rumors as I call them is that Jack Kirby created Spider-man, which is very hard to actually prove. While it is known that Jack was brought in to help design Stan Lee didn't like it and got Steve Ditko to do it instead regulating Jack to do the cover for Spider-man's first appearance. That is stuff we know for sure, it is believed that Steve made the costume in fact there is mock up of Jack's Spider-man out there somewhere but they look that similar. Still Jack felt he creative say there.
So when New Gods was made it was very easy to tell that it was kind of a sequel to his stuff at Marvel, not just Thor, Black Racer can fill in for Silver Surfer, so why not his take on Spider-man? He's a bug out against the world trying to figure out who he is. A cosmic everyman who might be hated because he's a bug. The Spider-man stuff is there to an extent but deniable as well.
Henry Kelly
Amazing art like seriously 11/10 but a so-so story.
Daniel Ward
One of the weirdest Spider-man likes is of course Superboy, the 90's clone. Why? Well here's the truth the Superboy is basically what if Spider-man was never Peter Parker and focused on showboating, Instead of one moment Superboy get's MOMENTS. Not only that Karl Kesel his creator used it to explore Jack Kirby concepts before they came back in vogue like Cadmus and even Omac. If the Parallels were not obvious on who they where doing a take off on look at this page, some of the poses are copied from Spider-man books. There was a reason besides the clone thing he fought SPider-man in Marvel vs DC. Still if you like Jack Kirby lore the 90's Superboy is kind of a treat for this stuff.
Blake Thompson
>the fucking RED BEE is a real golden age weirdo
Wyatt Johnson
I love Kyle(crab mask and all) but he was kind of obvious a take on Peter Parker.dead girl, lived in New York and as an artist an unstable job. Still for his part in the GL mythos he helped ground GL and without Jjones would not have good around work for the color wars.
Ryder Bell
Static Shock while not technically a DC character is still kind of important. Out of all of them he was the first one in a long while that tapped into that down on his luck high school kid. While I think his problem is sometimes he's very after school special Dwayne set out to make a 90's Spider-man and it for the most part.
