Animal Man by Grant Morrison #1
In "The Human Zoo," Grant Morrison and Chas Truog launch a bold new chapter for Animal Man, where the hero’s reality begins to fray as he confronts a fox hunt that feels suspiciously out of place. As James Highwater uncovers forgotten echoes of the pre-Crisis multiverse from the Psycho Pirate and the Mad Hatter, Vixen arrives at the Baker house seeking answers—only to find the family in the grip of invisible threats. When Animal Man is literally unraveled by these unseen forces, the aliens who granted him his powers make their long-awaited return. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the surreal tension of the issue, while the interior art by Truog, with inks by McKenna and colors by Wood, grounds the story in a world where identity and memory are as fragile as the fabric of reality itself.
