Animal Man #3 - Deux Ex Machina

Buddy Baker stands front and center on this striking 2016 ECC Ediciones collection, rendered with cool authority by Brian Bolland — his signature goggles, blue jacket, and gold-and-black costume making him instantly recognizable against a backdrop of Spanish text that hints at the literary depths within. Bolland's precise, almost photorealistic linework gives the hero a grounded, quietly intense presence that feels perfectly matched to Grant Morrison's thoughtful, reality-bending take on the character. This third volume, *Deus Ex Machina*, is a handsome addition to ECC's Spanish-language presentation of one of comics' most cerebral superhero runs.
