Animal Man
by Grant Morrison, Chas Truog
Buddy Baker discovers that his animal mimicry powers are connected to something much larger, in Grant Morrison's inventive and emotionally charged reinvention of Animal Man.
Geek’s cut
Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.
Deeper dive
Grant Morrison's run turns a superhero revival into a thoughtful story about identity, family, empathy, and the relationship between creators and characters.
