“Secret Origins”

In "Secret Origins," Grant Morrison and Chas Truog deliver a mind-bending twist as Animal Man and Vixen break free from captivity to confront a mysterious time-space anomaly left by alien forces. With Doug Hazlewood’s inks, Tatjana Wood’s colors, and John Costanza’s letters enhancing the surreal journey, the story blurs the line between reality and narrative control—especially when the aliens rewrite Hamed Ali’s role in the tale. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the chaos, making this a standout moment in the series.
