Marvel announces All-New Doop #1

I swear I’m not making this up.

So. Doop.

The little green booger has been floating around the X-books since he debuted back in the pages of the Mike Allred-helmed X-Force and has been pretty much a non-issue ever since. Sure he’s been there, but he hasn’t really done anything of any note. Till now that is.

This April, the strangest mutant of them all is thrust into the spotlight in ALL-NEW DOOP #1 – a new series from Doop co-creator and legendary X-scribe Peter Milligan and blockbuster artist David Lafuente!

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.”

From the pages of the blockbuster X-Men crossover Battle of the Atom comes the story you didn’t see! Did you know Doop was an integral part of stopping the evil X-Men from the future? Don’t believe us? You will! Plus, don’t miss Doop finally express his feelings for Kitty Pryde – in a way only Doop can!

Doop’s popularity has surpassed Cable and Gambit’s? Really?! That’s… I have to admit, that bit about Kitty Pryde is also pretty disturbing. Anyway, I honestly don’t have a lot to say about the new ongoing book in terms of commentary or thoughts at this point because, well because this is Doop we’re talking about here.

If you happen to be one of Doops apparent legions of fans, stay tuned for this coming April. That’s when All-New Doop #1 hits the stands form Marvel Comics and the creative team of Peter Milligan and David Lafuente.
