Animal Man #1

Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman kick off a bold new era for Animal Man with "The Hunt, Part One: Warning from the Red," a grounded yet surreal story where Buddy Baker, still reeling from his unexpected fame, faces a crisis that cuts closer to home than any villain ever could. When a desperate father takes over a hospital wing, Buddy’s focus shifts to protecting his own family—especially after his daughter Maxine declares she wants a pet, setting off a quiet but unsettling chain of events. The issue’s haunting tone and striking visuals, rendered by Foreman and colored by Kindzierski, are matched by a cover by Foreman that captures the story’s eerie, intimate dread.
