Forager is just one of the Hive before he breaks out of his cocoon and finds himself in a mysterious house in an unknown realm, where he meets a ghostly girl, a talking teddy bear and otherworldly weirdos. Worst of all is General Electric, who is on the hunt for a reality-bending metal that could alter the fabric of life itself. To preserve the Multiverse, Forager must travel through alternate dimensions to seek the metal before it gets into the wrong hands! Collects issues #1-6

    I'm not completely sure how to feel about Bug. I felt fairly frequently lost in the plot and all it's related lingo, but that may well be because I have read none of the New Gods stuff this is following on from, there's no doubt plenty of other stuff that lack of knowledge is making me miss out on, even if it doesn't make the plot more coherent. There's this cutesy lightness to everything, which can be fun, but some of the jokes are pretty hack-y, like something Mike would say ironically on RLM. I know there's some level detachedness and irony to the whole thing, but the line is not very easy to draw for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot once I get through all the New Gods stuff... or maybe not.
