    Still Going Strong

    After last month's amazing issue, can Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman keep the readers interested in Buddy and his family?
     
    THE GOOD:
    The art is amazing. It gives the book a dark tone. It's simple, and very sketchy and I love it. This issue we get information on what is going on at the Baker home. I love how, Jeff still incorporates the family drama into the series and super heroics. I think Maxine also has a strong presence in this book and I feel that she could become a very powerful character. I also love how you get Animal and his daughter traveling the globe, and the villains of the series coming into play. 
     
    THE BAD:
    Nothing
     
    THE VERDICT: 5/5 (Perfect)
    Animal is one of the BEST series of the New 52. I'm so glad that I decided to pick this up because if I didn't, I would be missing out on some amazing stuff. If you didn't get issue one, go get it. I know it's probably going to be expensive but it's worth it. Issue two is still great. I honestly, don't see this series dropping past a 4 star ratting anytime soon. I would suggest everyone get this.

    @CombatSpoon86: I ran out and got the first Morrison Animal Man trade as soon as I finished Animal Man #1. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. And then as soon as I could I snatched up the other 2 trades. Although it gave me the sad revelation that Grant Morrison was more 'on' completely redefining the medium back in the 80's and 90's than he is now. Don't get me wrong, his new stuff is still grade A+ stuff, but his work in the 80's was above and beyond, pushing the medium to the absolute limits.

    I agree with you. This is one of my favorite new DC series out of the new 52. Before this i had never read any Animal Man comics, but after picking this up i"m glad i'm reading Animal Man now.

      Into the Red wide open. 0

      First off, we pick up right where issue #1 left off, in the Baker family's back yard. The main focus of this issue is the interactions between the Baker family and Cliff's journey towards, and into, the Red. The Red isn't yet fully explained in this issue so we are still left guessing some to what it actually is. Also, another of Maxine's powers is displayed, and it's quite interesting and different from her fathers. There's a particular two-page spread in this issue that blew my mind and Forema...

      The Good: Again, the cover is AMAZINGLY CREEPY.Wow, can Maxine get any creepier? And yet still be a lovable adorable daughter? She really drove this issue, while still being an innocent bundle of cuteness, manages to find such childlike delight in the creepiest things, and have an eerie amount of knowledge.Again, the series AMAZINGLY balances the aspects of superhero, family drama, and horror. I dunno, basically, if you want more, see my review of #1. It's a lot more of the same kind of superb p...
