#Doom patrol comic series#
So then the series came about this other character who’s a black hole one of the things I really love about Collapser is that it treats anxiety as if it’s another character, and really explores that in a way that I hadn’t seen explored in comics before.
It was a very positive character, but the longer they worked on it, the more it became apparent that the more interesting character was the bad guy, who was a black hole.
What are the origins of Collapser?Ĭollapser is something that my brother Mikey Way came up with - this isn’t his comic book debut, he had written a Hallowe’en Special Batman quite some time ago - but he and Shawn Simon, who is sometimes my co-writer, had been developing this story about something that was really connected to stars. With Collapser, it looks like an entirely new concept, an entirely new addition to not only Young Animal but as a line. It feels like it’s finding different ways into the material, in ways that appeal to other readers appeal to people who haven’t been reading this stuff for years and haven’t grown up with it. The thing about Far Sector is - I mean, I really want Nora to talk about this herself and get her messaging out, but it explores authority in a way that I don’t think I’ve seen it explored before, as it relates to a superhero with authority, on a on a planet that never had a murder before. Far Sector seems to continue that intent. One of the things I really liked about the previous incarnations of Young Animal - and it’s present here as well - is, you’re taking DC concepts, previously Shade or Cave Carson, as well as Doom Patrol, and you’re telling stories that are personal stories, that are individual stories that stand outside of the superhero norm.
The intention is to try and have a lot of fun and, in the case of Far Sector, try to tell a pretty important story about authority. We’ve asked her to do a Green Lantern story and she really wanted to do it and it’s been amazing. Jemisin, who’s an extremely accomplished science fiction author, and she’s amazing. I think the thing about this particular wave, or phase three of Young Animal, is just to have a lot of fun, you know? We’ve also now expanded to go beyond just comic book creators we’ve got N.K. The idea this time with Doom was really to stockpile a bunch of issues, so that way we don’t run into any of the issues we had last time, with issues running extremely late and things like that. Now, Umbrella Academy is also in my life again, so basically I’m writing two books all the time I’m writing Umbrella and I’m writing Doom. I’ve been writing Doom Patrol pretty consistently since the last wave. Young Animal for me, I know it’s a pop-up imprint, and it kind of popped up and popped up in the way when it’s done putting series out, but it never stopped for me. What is Young Animal this time around? Where’s your head out with Young Animal right now? Let’s start with the fact that the imprint is coming back.
