I’ve never read Animal Man, but picked this up because the guy at my LCS said to give it a try. I was blown away to say the least. Buddy Baker is a compelling character, and I love the angle of him balancing his superhero duties with a burgeoning entertainment career. The best part? His family is actually interesting as well; I was afraid it was going to turn into a situation like with Wally West’s kids a few years back in The Flash, but each one has their own personality and it’s a realistic portrayal of how a family works…as realistic as it can be. The ending only made me want to keep reading. This and Action Comics #1 are the two standouts of the week and should make anyone nervous about this relaunch more relaxed.
