Animal Man #1

fables87's Animal Man #1 - The Human Zoo review

Great First Issue

For a first issue, I thought this one was great. The best thing I liked about this is that if you are like me, this explains the life of Buddy Baker (Animal Man) to those who aren't too familiar with him. I fist started liking Animal Man back in 2006 with the 52 series DC Comics produced. Then I wanted to know more about him. Finally the Omnibus edition is out and get to read the entire Morrison run.

Besides Morrison writing, the art work is great too. Fits for an everyday man trying to be a superhero too. I love the fact that Buddy is a family man too. I haven't read the rest of the series, but this one shows that he and his wife are just like every other couple. Which is rare in most comic books were they show divorced heroes or single ones or they get married later on in future issues.

When I finish the entire Omnibus edition, I will give a full review. For right now, if you like Morrison or Animal Man or animals, then give this issue/comic book a chance.

The art really integrates well with the story, especially the use of close ups and scene transitions where an image or bit of d...

The Good: This is a great 'first issue' cover. We've got the titular character, front and center, surrounded by his namesake, all running towards the 'screen' It's interesting, grabs the eye, highlights all the main points of the character, and has a nice watercolor background for the cherry on top. The artwork does feel a little old, but it highlight something I think many modern comics have lost. Most modern comics are so focused on style, they tend to forget about some of the little details. ...
