If you haven’t read Gerard Way’s Doom Patrol volumes 1 & 2 and Cave Carson Vol 1 you might only understand 1% of this story. But if you have read them you’ll understand another 2%. I did love this story as a whole and it really milked the weird out of these characters.
Milk Wars is not something to skim as you blink and miss somehow miss something.
It’s wildly entertaining and I have no idea how I would explain this story to anyone if they asked.

Got milk?

A great way to be introduced to the rest of the Young Animal line up. Loved glimpsing the contrasting art styles and storytelling. Although unfamiliar with many of the characters, I enjoyed the madness of the crossover and interactions between the teams.

What a strange little series. We get to meet the Young Animal imprint characters alongside some messed up versions of our classic DC faves throughout. This was the weirdest series ever, but also one that kept me engaged. While the narrative sometimes felt disjointed, it still is just an entertaining little comic romp. Comics are meant to be fun and this sure the heck is.

Pretty weird.

crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

I couldn't force myself to finish this. It's kind of a Grant Morrison writes a silver-age story but gets sidetracked and forgets to have fun with it. It's a very self-aware and meta imagining of the Rebirth DC Universe colliding with the Young Animal imprint.

I recommend it only to people who think Seaguy is a game changing work of genius.
