-> ''"I am thrilled to help bring DC’s Young Animal to life, having been raised on experimental 80s and 90s takes on superheroes. I see Young Animal as a place to try new ideas- following the spirit of those books from the past but bring them somewhere else. I see it as an imprint where we can explore fine art, bold concepts, mature themes, and strangeness -- with lots of heart."''

'''Young Animal''' is an imprint of Creator/DCComics founded by Music/MyChemicalRomance frontman (and writer of ''ComicBook/TheUmbrellaAcademy'') Gerard Way, set for launch in September 2016.

Described as "comics for dangerous humans," Young Animal will publish titles intended for mature readers, putting modern spins on classic (and obscure) DC Comics concepts like ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol''. Though published independently from the mainstream ComicBook/{{DCU}} titles and not being considered part of the ComicBook/DCRebirth branding, Young Animal comics will still be set within that universe; ''Mother Panic'', for example, is set in Gotham City.

!! Young Animal provides examples of the following tropes:
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: The main character of ''Shade, The Changing Girl'' is a female counterpart of the original Shade.
* ElectronicEyes: Guess which title features a character with one of these.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To Creator/VertigoComics, another DC Comics imprint for {{darker and edgier}} titles than DC's regular output.
