The Last Days of Animal Man #3

In "Part Three: Bargain," Buddy Baker faces the grim reality that his animal powers are fading fast, leaving him desperate to find a way to restore them—perhaps through the DNA of his children. As Red Tornado confirms the dire state of his abilities, chaos unfolds elsewhere when Prismatik escapes custody and frees Bloodrage, setting the stage for escalating tension. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Chris Batista with inks by Dave Meikis, colors by Mike Atiyeh, and letters by Clem Robins, this 2009 issue features a striking cover by Brian Bolland.
