review 1: Since Rotworld, this series has reached a plateau. The horror element of this series still remains strong, and the artwork is consistently grotesque. But the world-building is a little weaker in this volume. It's cool to see Buddy Baker's actor side, but everything that is ha...

review 1: Grant Morrison made me a big fan of Animal Man. Jeff Lemire is continuing on where Morrison started, making Animal Man a weird / horror / violent / mystical comic book experience. It's been a while since I read the first volume, but I remember liking it a little bit better than t...

review 1: Yes, Jeff Lemire is a brilliant writer, but coming into his series as an old school Animal Man fan was… traumatizing. Some dark, gritty reboots work, and this one does, but I wasn’t prepared for the level of horror and … grossness encapsulated within these pages.Lemire’s Animal M...

review 1: Public library copy.Another New 52 fail for me. This effort pales to Grant Morrison's work, the art work did not appear to be up to the standards of polished professionalism. Like the New 52 Swamp Thing, the concept seems to have borrowed from Green Lantern whereas colors have a ...

review 1: Another solid volume in this great run!I was very surprised when I found myself really enjoying this series when I started volume 1. The story was well written and art, although it took some getting use to, has it's own unique feel. This book further builds the story of the battl...

review 1: Animal Man is something of a B-list superhero, trying to make ends meet with a wife and two children. He was recently in an independent film, but isn't sure it'll make him much money, and his ability to summon any animal skill (charging with the strength of a rhino, switching to ...

review 1: Choosing Jeff Lemire to write Animal Man was inspired, and it pays off in this volume even more than it did in the first. Although this book focuses more on setting the stage for a larger conflict, it also fleshes out the mythology really well, even reinterpreting Animal Man's or...
