Gerard Way is making his mark on DC Comics with an imprint all his own: Young Animals. Way made the announcement during a DC Entertainment panel at Seattle’s Emerald City Comicon, adding that Doom Patrol would be the first book put out by the imprint.
The former My Chemical Romance singer is set to write the comic with Nick Derington signed on to illustrate. An avid collector, Way indicated that he personally owns and has read the full Doom Patrol catalog and is looking to provide a continuation rather than a reboot—one that honors pivotal writers like Grant Morrison, whom Way considers an inspiration and mentor.
