JLA/Young Animal: Milk Wars

[ProphetofGanja]

A New Trinity of Wholesome Heroes is Coming to DC Comics

DC’s always had a fondness for pitting its heroes against bizarre, alternate reality versions of themselves in epic death matches. But in its upcoming JLA/Young Animal: Milk Wars event, the publisher’s trying something a little different by straight up rewriting the origins and identities of its iconic Trinity to create something new.

Over the course of five one-shot issues, heroes from DC’s main continuity and its Young Animal imprint will team up against RetCo, an interdimensional corporation that has the ability to rewrite realities in order to “package” them as stories for new audiences. Milk War begins when the Justice League and the Doom Patrol are forced to go up against Milkman Man, an even more sanitized version of Superman who’s been shaped to serve RetCo’s larger evil plan.

Along with Milkman Man, Milk Wars will also introduce Father Bruce, a Batman who commits his life to taking in orphaned children, and Wonder Wife, a horrifying, Stepford-ized version of Diana. Thankfully, Milk Wars is going to be a lean story that runs for about a month before wrapping up. It’ll be a solid way to get caught up on what’s going on over in Young Animal’s neck of the woods and let’s be honest—it’s gonna be a hoot to see the Wholesome Trinity in action.

JLA/Young Animal: Milk Wars begins with Steve Orlando, Gerard Way, ACO, Magdalene Visaggio, and Sonny Liew’s JLA/Doom Patrol Special #1 out January 31 next year.

really making Batman a religious dude not sure how I feel about that. Also Stepford Wife Diana is totally a 180 of her,

I really wish I could make a Spaceballs MegaMaid joke, but I'm not sure if it will work.

Oh man, it's like those Christian "family value safe" alternatives, Batman is now Bibleman

This sounds so much fun. DC is really knocking it out of the park comic-wise.

Well, yeah, that's like the whole point. These so called "wholesome" characters that we already know are going to be evil are undoubtedly going to be regressively conservative too

Right? Like evil versions of a Norman Rockwell painting

They really are. I think I'm set on going to the movies for Marvel and going to the comic book store for DC

I'm super happy with the turnaround they've made in quality.
