Some of My Friends Read Comics 256 – Animal Man by Grant Morrison + Ultimates #3

It’s the holiday season, so we’re reading… oh it’s not a holiday comic. That’s ok, it’s Grant Morrison’s Animal Man!

We’re taking a look at his first 5 issues from the early 90s, where we’ll analyze cell reconstruction and Looney Tunes.

Then we continued our long read of the Ultimates with issue #3 in which… we still don’t have a villain.

Animal Man has never exactly been one of DC’s biggest heroes, but he got a reboot in 2011 for the New 52 written by Jeff Lemire with some gruesome, horrific art by Travel Foreman.

We read the first volume which saw him re-discover his origin, find out that his daughter can turn human arms into chicken arms, and start making his way toward the Swamp Thing.

And then in All Star Superman #5, Clark Kent interview Lex Luthor in prison!
