Preview
The Comic
Think of this comic as a great way for seeing what has gone down thematically for the Animal Man comic until this issue. But it doesn't involve the current Animal Man, Buddy Baker. This delves into the past incarnations of Animal Man and Swamp Thing and a time when the Rot was trying to rise before.
Its not a badly done tale. The story manages to bring in Buddy Baker for a couple of panels to bring a cryptic message for what happen in the future issues of Animal Man.
Overall it is a very fun ride and I'm glad I was there for it.
The Art
There is a definite style that all the Animal Man artists are trying to keep with the book, and I must admit that I like it. That is definitely not something that you see in every monthly superhero title.
The Cover
Hey, that's the wrong Animal Man on that cover. I think. I don't know, the cover just didn't thrill me like I thought it would. It just looks like a couple of characters reluctantly and not intentionally put on the cover with a backdrop of three splashed out colors.
Grades
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: This will be like a weird catch up. Worth the price of admission.
Buy Next Issue: Will be Animal Man #10, and that is apparently when the war starts. OK, I'm in.
