Captain Carrot in Grant Morrison's MULTIVERSITY

Well, it's been confirmed. Captain Carrot is in Grant Morrison's Multiversity limited series. And he even made the cover!


Although, I'm not sure why he looks like that. The solicitation says 'Captain Carrot like you've never seen him before'. Great, just damn great! Hey DC? How about you just put the classic version in there? Didn't you learn anything from the whole K'Rot fiasco? I guess not.

Oh well. I'll pick up the first issue at least.

Multiversity ships in August 2014.
