I was going to do a whole "His name was Forager" bit, but they went there straightaway!

From 2017, Bug! The Adventures of Forager #1, "Bughouse Crazy! Domino Effect, part 1 of 6" Written by Lee Allred, art by Michael Allred, colors by Laura Allred. 

 

The insect-raised Forager, disparaged by Orion as a "Bug," sacrificed himself to save the universe in 1989's Cosmic Odyssey #4, but he's back today; having awoken from a cocoon, in the basement of an earth house? This might be a dream, as he encounters a bizarre ghost girl and her talking teddy bear; who advises him not to use his name there. Fine, he'll be Bug for now. He isn't real keen on going back to Highfather and Orion, or the insects, so what's left? Saving the universe? Bug considers, he's saved the universe, without really getting to see much of it. The little girl had set up dominoes, in a pattern Bug recognized as from a Mother Box, and when she changes one Bug has a vision of characters that will probably show up later, including Deadman, OMAC, and the Black Racer. But, the classic Kirby Sandman shows up now!

With Sandman's helpers Brute and Glob, Bug helps fight General Electric; but a domino falls into his hand from nowhere. Bug protests, he is not a domino and won't fall in line; but still stops the General, before falling into a dimensional hole that he figures will take him to the next domino. I'm not sure who's pulling the strings, but I'm hoping it's not New Gods related, since Bug seems to have had it with their drama. I kinda think this little series was because the Allreds liked the character and maybe wanted to give him a happy ending; although it could still end as a dream or with him dead. Also, did Kirby ever do Deadman? It's a love letter to Kirby, with one extra guy.
