Exclusive: First Look at October's Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye #1 Solicitation

DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at the cover and solicitation text for October's Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye #1 from writers Gerard Way and Juan Rivera with artist Michael Avon Oeming.

The series launches in October as part of Eisner winner Gerard Way's Young Animal imprint, set to launch in September with Doom Patrol.

"I am thrilled to help bring DC's Young Animal to life, having been raised on experimental 80s and 90s takes on superheroes," Way said at the Emerald City Comic Con when the announcement was made. "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," explains Way. "I see it as an imprint where we can explore fine art, bold concepts, mature themes, and strangeness- with lots of heart."

You can the solicitation out below, and the cover in the gallery here alongside the cover for Shade, The Changing Girl #2.

CAVE CARSON HAS A CYBERNETIC EYE #1

Written by GERARD WAY and JON RIVERA • Art and cover by MICHAEL AVON OEMING • Variant cover by MATT WAGNER • Variant cover by BILL SIENKIEWICZ • Retailers: This issue will ship with three covers. Please see the order form for details.

Cave Carson has done it all: survived countless adventures below the Earth's surface, met the love of his life, and gotten a cybernetic eye...somehow. After he and his wife, Eileen, sent their only daughter Chloe off to college, Cave was ready to become just another mundane member of the surface world. That is, until Eileen got sick. Newly widowed, Cave tries to piece his life back together when a knock on the door of his secret underground lab pulls him back into a past that he and Eileen thought they had left buried deep within the Earth.

Adding to his troubles, Cave must determine if his recent hallucinations and visions are the work of his mind or his mysterious cybernetic eye. (Spoiler: It's the eye.)

Written by Gerard Way (DOOM PATROL, Umbrella Academy) and Jon Rivera (Heartbreak), and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming (Powers), this is an absurdist action-adventure story unlike any other!

On sale OCTOBER 19 • 40 pg, FC, $3.99 US • MATURE READERS

Doom Patrol will pair Way with artist Nick Derington as they pick up the torch left by Grant Morrison on one of the DCU's strangest teams. Shade, The Changing Girl, written by Cecil Castellucci and drawn by Marley Zarcone, features a story about an alien that takes over the body of a 16-year-old bully and follows the aliens' attempt to live a life on earth.

Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye teams Way up with Jon Rivera and artist Michael Avon Oeming as they follow the adventures of Cave Carson, his cybernetic eye, and his daughter. Finally, Mother Panic, written by Way and Jody Houser and drawn by Tommy Lee Edwards, puts us in the shoes of Violet Paige, a vigilante who uses her considerable influence in the upper edges of society to fight crime in Gotham City.

The imprint will launch with Doom Patrol in October. You can see the other covers in the gallery.
