In what is either the craziest or most brilliant comic book idea since the beginning of time, Marvel is giving Doop is own mini-series. The little floating booger is going to debut with All-New Doop #1 in April, written by co-creator Peter Milligan. Though why we need the words ‘All-New’ in the title are anyone’s guess.

He’s sexy and he knows it

The mini-series is going to be set during the recent Battle of the Atom crossover, telling the untold story of what Doop was doing during the big battle, and how he probably actually caused or saved everything. That’s usually Doop’s style. David Lafuente will be on art.

Marvel revealed the series in an interview on their website. Said Milligan:

Doop is a character who lives mostly in the margins, and this story takes place, if you like, in the margins of Battle of the Atom. It shows what happens in those moments just before or after or behind the main storyline. And though Doop seemed to play no part in the original Battle of the Atom, this story reveals the truth. And the truth is very surprising, in a very Doop kind of way.

I’ll definitely be checking this one out. The more Doop in this world, the better.
