Animal Man continues to be one of the best ongoing comic books this year. Lemire is taking the story into a surreal and powerful direction just like Grant Morrison did in the late eighties, but is putting his own spin and flavor on the characters. Buddy Baker has become a character that can explore realms of the DC Universe that no other character can, and this title is a direct reflection of that. Travel Foreman’s art is both breathtaking and disgusting at the same time as he depicts the monsters that the Baker family must face both externally and internally.
