DC Young Animal has been a rousing success in part because it’s so innovative and different. From Oeming’s mind-bending art in Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye, to Gerard Way’s trippy superhero series Doom Patrol it’s hard to not marvel at how unique the series can be. We here at AiPT! got a first look at the covers and solicitations of the DC Young Animal titles out in August. Enjoy!
