    What Animals May Come

    This is a good, but confused book. And that would be bad in most cases, but the beginning sets the character up as a confused character so it works. It seems a lot of what is going on is inspired by the movie, "What Dreams May Come." As someone that has no real interest in this character I also feel like he's never been fully explored and really he always just always felt like a D-lister that wasn't all that interesting.  
     
    Is this book good? Yes 
    Is it for everyone? No 
    Could it be for everyone? Yes  I can see possibilities with the limited knowledge I have of this character and what his powers are. 
     
    I do recommend scoping out this first issue and seeing if you like it and possibly checking in on this character from time to time to see if they do anything really cool with him. Like I said, given his back story and powers there are a tons of places this character can go, from a space opera, to an anime style slice of life crazy fest, to a really cool character look wolverine or rogue. It's just a matter of how creative the writers are and how willing they are to let this guy be explored.

      Review for Animal Man #1.   Now when I was first deciding what I was going to buy I didn't put Animal Man on there because I wasn't interested, but the overwhelming positive reaction to this series here and being the pick of the week over at iFanboy was punching my curious si I bought it and I love it.   The Story: Buddy goes to stop a shooter at the children's ward in the hospital and after he comes home weird things starts happening to him and shifts his family life drastically.    The Good: W...
