When former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way first announced back in 2016 that he was partner with DC Comics to found “ pop - up embossment ” Young Animal , he described it as a place where sheer , innovative comics for “ dangerous humans ” would have the creative space to flourish . Though Young Animal ’s foundation produced some of the most fascinating , thinker - bending titles that DC ’s put out in years — like Shade , The change Girl , and the Milk Wars event — the depression and most of its form of address are wind down afterward this summer .
Today , Way announced the news in a statement toComics Beatexplaining that the imprint ’s bittersweet last was always part of the plan :
“ I want to give everyone an update on Young Animal . In August , Shade , Cave Carson , and Mother Panic will terminate at issue 6 as we originally planned , alongside Eternity Girl . It ’s been an unbelievable run for each of them and I ’m so thankful to all the writers and artist who begin this journey with me , and who make such incredible stories .
“ This is not the end of Young Animal . We ’ll have more to news show to share when we fall back with Doom Patrol . In the meantime , bask the sleep of these amazing serial publication . ”
Currently , there ’s no indicant as to when DC might revive the embossment down the road and whether the current slating of title would return along with it , but Way did take note that the publishing house intends to continue its Doom Patrol serial and get it back on a proper product track .
It ’s sad to see Young Animal go ( for now ) , but if it mean that the imprint ’s characters will be free to roam their way into more of DC ’s more mainstream books , then perhaps there ’s a silver lining to the news after all .
