Review
This was an awesome issue. I really enjoyed it.
We got to take a look at more of the movie that Buddy Baker starred in, which honestly felt like such a relief. I look at the book as now beginning to go in a direction that I think I will enjoy and there isn't much more praise that can be said for it.
Animal Man cleverly used the fill in artist in the right manner again. If memory serves, I think this is the same artist who worked on the previous movie issue, and the style just fits. It is a stark difference from the regular art, and it has that sense of Alex Maleev and heavy inks that just give it a noir/sad look. The art goes right along pace with the quick story, and I would almost like to see the movie done in one Animal Man special.
The surprise twist at the end that Buddy has been nominated for a Best Actor was something I think I read what feels like months ago. Regardless, I think I'm beginning to be thankful that I've stayed with the book since the end of Rotworld. Let's shake off that heavy weight and move forward with more stories like this one!
