12 Most Anticipated Comics Coming In 2018

11. Milk Wars

DC Milk Wars
DC Comics

Release Date: January 31

Milk Wars, the upcoming crossover between the mainstream DCU and Gerard Way's Young Animal imprint, will feature an evil Superman raised by a villainous dairy farmer. It's just about the best premise for a story... well ever, and is set to mark yet another milestone in Way's increasingly barmy and brilliant foray into the comics medium.

Following the Justice League as they team up with the Doom Patrol, Milk Wars - releasing later this January - is set to be one of the most anticipated reads of the year, a status intimated by the presence of Frank Quitely, Way et al. The writer's stint on Doom Patrol and The Umbrella Academy before that give plenty of cause to be excited, and with the threat of Milkman Man looming overhead, Milk Wars could just be the book that saves the event genre as we know it.

Granted, there are other events coming out this year that will surely try the same, but, as far as premises go, this one is undoubtedly the best.
