Animal Man: The Family Man
Jeff Lemire is taking over Animal Man for DC Comics New 52. This relaunch is suppose to be for new readers. This is my FIRST Animal Man comics book. Does he get me hooked?
THE GOOD:
I have read Jeff Lemire before and that is why I was happy to buy this. I really liked the first page on this comic. It tells people who have never read Animal Man what the Buddy is and is currently doing. I think this is done in a way that old readers and new readers can feel like they are reading the same character. I really liked him talking to his family. I think that is the coolest aspect of this book currently. I also think that he is trying to be a good dad and it pains him that he can't do certain things with his kids because it affects his powers. I really liked the page where he chooses the Animal he is going to take powers from. The art is sketchy and I like that and I think that it goes well for the dark aspect of the series.
THE BAD:
I really can't complain.
THE VERDICT: 5/5 (Perfect)
I think everyone should give this series a try. I think that everyone can really relate to the characters and I really think Animal is become one of my favorite heroes/ family man/ actor. I think Animal has something for everyone. Family, Super Heroics and some pretty cool looking art. If you like a good read, Animal is for you. If your an Animal Man fan, I don't know how much has changed but Buddy is still an enjoyable character. I would suggest everyone pick this up.
