“Home Improvements”

In "Home Improvements," Grant Morrison and Tom Grummett deliver a quietly powerful chapter as Animal Man grapples with the lingering effects of the gene bomb, confiding in Martian Manhunter while the Justice League fortifies the Baker home. With Doug Hazlewood’s inks, Tatjana Wood’s colors, and John Costanza’s lettering, the issue balances intimate family moments with subtle cosmic unease—especially as African villagers sense an ancient presence stirring. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the tension between the ordinary and the otherworldly.
