A while back, Peter Milligan helped reinvent X-Force as X-Statix, introducing a whole new slew of characters and casting it as a reality show (back when that idea was really new and fresh). The last remnant of that series (which was not afraid to kill off its characters) is Doop, the weirdo green blob guy that hangs around the X-Men and is secretly super-powerful. Now, Milligan is coming back with artist David Lafuente for All-New Doop, which will be its own series. Apparently, Doop is sweet on Kitty Pryde and his secret role in Battle of the Atom will be revealed.
Here’s Marvel’s synopsis blurb about it: “Who is Doop? Actually…what is Doop? Living in the margins of the X-Men, Doop’s origins have always remained shrouded in mystery as he hovered around with his video camera – freaking out readers and fellow X-Men alike. But his time has finally come! Where did Doop come from? What is he? The Doop shall inherit the Earth! And this adventure will prove once and for all that Doop is, in fact, the most powerful X-Man!”
“Doop has been a favorite character of mine ever since his first appearance in X-Force,” says Senior Editor Nick Lowe. “But fans have really taken notice since he’s been showing up in Wolverine and the X-Men and his popularity has surpassed that of even Gambit and Cable! And with Doop co-creators Peter Milligan (writing) and Mike Allred (covers) involved, along with David Lafuente on interior art, this is going to be amazing.”
