This probably the weakest variant that the series has had, but the main cover is great

Did you ever have that odd kid who dressed strangely and seemed to live on an entirely different level than everyone else in high school? Maybe you were that kid. Either way, this is how Loma/Shade/Megan has looked for the last few weeks

Worth picking up in trades?

Hopefully it does well in trades. The next two issues solicited seem to be single issue stories. The floppy sales are really bad

Reminder that Megan was an awful person

>>90336087

Thank you. Shade is nice.

I barely know what's going on, but I'm enjoying this series so far.

>>90336386
Better enjoy it while it lasts then fag which means not for long.

Megan was one delusional woman

>>90336574
Wait, was this only a mini series, or is it getting canceled?

>>90336574
YA is basically Vertigo 2.0 Canon in Continuity Edition. It's gonna stick because DC thinks it's gonna sell in trades. Also Morrison will put a curse on them if they drop his apprentice Way.

>>90336634
It's not supposed to be a mini, but the sales are falling hard. I think the last known numbers are ~13k, which is still almost three times better than any Vertigo title

>>90336546
River is great.

well this is a twist on that classic Ms. Marvel story

>>90336720

Uh oh.

That's not gonna end well at all. Gotta almost give Megan credit for spiteful creativity, tho.

>>90336720
>Shade is going to get teen pregnant with Megan's evil spirit
This book is great.

>>90336720
i don't get it. is Megan dead? that's pretty fucked up.

No backup this week, probably because this issue seems a little longer than usual

Next month:

>In this stand-alone issue, Shade begins to ponder what’s next for her on Earth. As the winter dance approaches, she reminisces about high school on Meta, and starts to wonder why she’s putting herself through that kind of hell again. Will she find the perfect dress, or will the dance be a perfect disaster? Plus, an all-new episode of “Life with Honey,” with art by Dan Parent (Kevin Keller).

>>90336797
That's a shame. The back-ups so far have been neat little cherrys on top of the sundae.

Element Girl in particular I would like to see expanded into its own YA book

>>90336890
WEW, Shade looking cute there.

>>90336111
Hot

>>90336134
I gotta disagree, I love this cover.

>>90336163
Just noticed that Way is curating all of Young Animal, that's why it all feels so close.

There is precedent for parts of Shade to err, manifest in babies

>>90336349
Chill-out Mellu

>>90336676
The only way I can support this is by buying trades, pls don't get cancelled

I can't wait until Young Animal gets canceled and incomprehensible garbage like this dies.

>>90336720
>Evil spirit impregnation
Whoah whoah whoah

>>90337747
I OTOH hope this gets a long tenure now the plot is getting properly weird.

>>90336634

Sales are way below cancellation numbers. DC is generally less trigger-happy on the "can it" button than Marvel is, but it's still doing pretty badly.

>Trade isn't coming out until July

Why do you do these things DC?

>>90337894
Or a tumor.

>>90337747
>incomprehensible garbage
I don't even know much about Shade, but this is pretty comprehensible.

>>90336634
It's not a mainline DC book, so no.

>>90336573
Need Megan distracted? Just flash Teacup in front of her so she starts screeching autistically.

>>90336676
>Hey never tell my parents that I exorcised their real daughter btw

The issue felt a little weak this weak. Probably the weakest from Young Animal so far. It was a little too much of fighting and less of what we've come to expect from this book. Also, the solution was a bit tame.

>>90336720
kek, did she actually get her pregnant somehow or is it just a "If you have a kid, I'll be it" deal?

>>90339582
Honestly, her parents would probably like Shadow more than her. They were afraid of her when they were bringing Shade back from the hospital so they obviously got shittalked as well.

>>90336269
Huh, I thought it was a 6 issue mini series.

Does DC still take years to put out trades so by the time it comes out the series has been canceled as fuck?

>>90336234
>travels through all time and space
>still wants to ruin everyone's lives

teenagers man

>>90340339
Given that the arc ended today and the trade collecting them comes out in July, DC is indeed still horseshit at putting stuff out quickly

>>90336191
I guess this confirms that other people were not seeing all of the things that she was

>>90336676
this whole scene is so messed up

>>90337747
pretty easy to follow dude

Shade, the Bumping Girl

>>90336720
Pretty sure this is someone's fetish

>>90336720
a) what the fuck
b) how the fuck
c) I thought this was the last issue

>>90344787
At least 8 issues, probably enough for a second trade

>>90336087
thanks OP this is by far my favorite book DC is publishing right now

>>90336456
who would be cool to crossover with? I think maybe Green Lanterns or Super Sons

>>90336638
hope DiDio keeps it around for 70 issues, this creative team is awesome together

>>90347485
She's visiting Gotham in issue 8, so we might see some kind of a batfamily cameo (gotta get that Batman sales bump)

So this is the best Young Animal book, right?

>>90336890
that's a great cover, damn

>>90347541
On the other hand, Shade is one of the most maligned of the Vertigo books. DC only out out three small trades a few years ago and cancelled the rest, leaving 41 issues uncollected from Milligan's run

>>90337977
>mfw I was buying Vigilante Rebirth..

>>90347666
but then they'll put out three omnis for it and I'll be happy

>>90347593
200% and it was the one I was most way on before the launch

>>90347593
Yeah, Doom Patrol takes second place.

>>90347688
Dude, that thing had much bigger problems than just low numbers. It had to be pulped and re-rated due to the violence, putting it in the hole almost immediately

>>90347593
It's my favorite at the very least. It's not crawling its way like Doom Patrol and I enjoy the story much more than Cave. I dropped Mother Panic on the first issue.

>>90348738
I think Shade is working the best because it has been the most consistent. I don't think it missed a week or had to be delayed like literally every other YA title. This was the second title to be released, a month after Doom Patrol, and happened to be the first to finish it's introductory arc

>>90347593
Doom Patrol is better, it just never comes out.

>>90348884
It's weird that the team that has barely had any comics experience has managed to hit every deadline. I suspect that Way might be a perfectionist

>>90350066
or a drug addict

>>90336676
So, it will live or die from it's first trade?

so, ugh, I guess we still don't know if Teacup dropped a rock on Megan's head, huh?

>>90353092
It's plausible Megan herself doesn't know who dropped it since she was underwater. Wouldn't it be funny if more than one person dropped it?

>>90339527
love.

I have to say, the madness spirits were much more terrifying in the Milligan series. Megan seems like a pushover.

I think I'll run some of the Milligan series tomorrow

>>90353444
The point of the new series isn't so much the weirdness the Madness Vest, so it's expected. It's a whole lot more contained.

>>90337747
Are you a cat? This is all easy to understand.

>>90336371
Hey! It's the show from last issue's backup!

>>90336720
welp

>>90353092
is that what happened, i thought she started overdosing or something, wasnt there a page where someone commented she took a shitload of drugs right before?

>>90354314
She either:
A)Got brained by a rock
B) Had a seizure from the fuck load of drugs she took
C)Smashed her head in the sand when she jumped off the deck

>>90353858
I've come to understand the new series more about how fucking alien people can be.

At first, I was disappointed that the artist's concept of "madness" was just some eclectic shit, and not some 'derangement of the senses' shit that I thought the Milligan run did.

But then I noticed the faces. They're off, they're like masks. And I kinda tied that to the basic premise of an alien being stuck in a body she doesn't understand, with emotions she doesn't understand, and these people that she can't understand. Though it's a little too subtle for me to be confident that I'm not just imagining it.

>>90353092
Teacup was the one who saved her.

>incomprehensible garbage

But this isn't Deathstroke, anon.

>>90336720
Well there's a twist I didn't see coming. I really hope this does well in trade and DC keeps it going for a long time. It (and all the Young Animal titles) have been so fucking good. If YA is supposed to be a Vertigo 2.0 you'd think they'd keep them going considering they're all selling 3x more than all the current Vertigo stuff.

Can someone clear up for me whether or not Meta is just another planet or if it's a different dimension or something?

>>90337747
>incomprehensible garbage
Maybe >>90344509 would be more your style.

>>90337747
>Incomprehensible
Anyone who finds a picture book to be incomprehensible is legit mentally retarded imo.

>>90337747
>hating the best book of the Big 2 right now
wtf anon

>>90336456
>page 14
>>90336478
>page 16

OP forgot a page.

>>90357232
Meta is another planet. It's earthlike but not much else is known. Hell in the first series there were only ever the vaguest hints that non-human aliens lived there. But honestly just say "Madness leak messed with reality" and call it a day.

>>90357706
I've got the actual comic, and it's a 2-page spread that's missing. On it Megan goes visiting various characters and says demeaning things about them.

>>90358527
I thought it was another dimension. At least that's how Ostrander Suicide Squad Shade explained it.

>>90358581
I thought I remember Shade wondering if he would be able to see Meta from Earth.

Granted I don't remember too much of the early part, and since his method of travel was via the area of madness it's not really important.

>>90336720
Thanks op. Im going to start ordering this from my comic book store.

>>90336720
