Plot
Collects Animal Man (1988-1995) #14-26. Cover by Brian Bolland.
One of legendary comics writer Grant Morrison's earliest works took a forgotten, almost laughable DC Comics hero, Animal Man, and re-imagined him in a stunning, postmodern series chronicling his bizarre adventures as a second-rate superhero struggling with real-life issues and moral dilemmas.
From one of the greatest storytellers of his generation, Grant Morrison's Animal Man took a forgotten DC Comics character and reimagined him in a groundbreaking, postmodern series that redefined what was possible in superhero comics.
Buddy Baker, a.k.a. the Man with Animal Powers, is a second-rate superhero, devoted father, and animal activist. There isn't much money in the hero game, and with a wife and kids to support, Buddy soon finds himself torn between trying to make a living through traditional super-heroics and getting more deeply involved in the questionably legal world of animal rights activism. But in today's world with real-life issues, who really needs Animal Mans protection? Is it humankind or the animals? Or is it Buddy himself?

Morrison en verdad se solto con este volumen; muertes subitas, viajes psicotropicos, viajes en el tiempo, discursos politicos bastante directos, y la inclusion de el autor como un personaje, esto se siente como un climax para el personaje de Animal Man, asi como una celebracion masturbatoria de su autor, lo cual desgraciadamente sacrifica la conclusion de su serie precisamente por esta incursion del rompimiento de la cuarta pared, y como bien se le conoce a Morrison, llega un momento dentro de su narrativa en la que esta se torna bastante prepotente y pretenciosa, fuera de ello, es un buen volumen dentro del run.
