Not all that long, long ago, in, well… this galaxy, Gerard Way’s DC imprint, Young Animal, was put on indefinite hold. Though Way seemed hopeful vis a vis its resurrection, nearly a year has passed with no announcements forthcoming.

Until now.

I know, I know. Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. It’s a writer sickness.

This July, Young Animal is bringing back Doom Patrol and publishing two new books: Collapser and Far Sector.

Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds (July 3) by Gerard Way and Jeremy Lambert with art by James Harvey, Doc Shaner, Nick Pitarra, Beckly Cloonan, and more. “The Doom Patrol will go on an epic road trip around the solar system, facing off against the unusual and bizarre including the fanatical fitness fields of planet Orbius and the Marathon Eternal. Big changes are coming for these unusual heroes, including Robotman coming to terms with his new life as a human.”

Collapser (July 17th) by Mikey Way and Shaun Simon, with art by Ilias Kyriazis.  “Liam James is a wannabe DJ whose life goals are almost completely dashed by his crippling anxiety – until a package arrives in the mail containing a black hole that gives him amazing powers and draws him into a cosmic conflict far beyond anything he’d ever imagined. But Liam will discover that when it comes to life, love, mental health and superhero responsibilities, there’s no such thing as a quick fix, and that power comes with a cost.”

Far Sector (late 2019) by N.K. Jemisin with art by Jamal Campbell. “Newly chosen Green Lantern Sojourner “Jo” Mullein has been protecting the City Enduring, a massive metropolis of 20 billion people, for the past six months. The City has maintained peace for over 500 years by stripping its citizens of their ability to feel. As a result, violent crime is virtually unheard of, and murder is nonexistent.

But that’s all about to change.

This new series introduces a dizzying game of politics and philosophies as Jo discovers a brewing revolution in the City, aided and abetted by some of its most powerful citizens.”
