Animal Man #1
This collection kicks off the New 52 era for Animal Man, following Buddy Baker as he grapples with his connection to the Red—the life force of all animal life—while a dark force threatens his family and the balance of nature. Written by Jeff Lemire with art by Travel Foreman, the volume introduces a horror-tinged, visceral take on the character that ties into the wider DC universe.
Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman kick off a bold new era for Animal Man with "The Hunt, Part One: Warning from the Red," a story that plunges Buddy Baker back into action with quiet urgency. After a brief Hollywood detour, Buddy faces a crisis at a local hospital, but his real challenge lies at home—his daughter Maxine has decided she wants a pet, and the line between family and heroism begins to blur. The cover by Travel Foreman captures the tension with striking, moody detail.
