The New 52: Animal Man Issue 8 Review

The Rot creatures are closing in on Buddy Baker and his family. Will Animal Man and daughter Maxine protect their family in time before they all become victims of the terrifying menace that has upturned their lives?

Animal Man issue 8 continues The Rot storyline from the start of the series. Jeff Lemire is still on board as writer while new artist Steve Pugh brings his own terrifying renditions of the Rot.  Lemire continues to keep readers on edge with the series' monthly offerings of suspense and terror. Issue 8 is no different along with Pugh's masterful return to the series. The original Animal Man first series artist's depictions of the Rot are as terrifying since artist Travel Foreman's run on the title.

The New 52: Animal Man Issue 7 Review

The Rot are hot on the trail of the Baker family, will Animal Man and his daughter Maxine, succeed in stopping them? Animal Man issue 7 continues the storyline from the initial issues despite beginning a new arc.  The Rot are at the forefront once again of this new storyline, as they spread their destruction in their attempts to capture the Baker clan.  Nothing stands in their way as The Rot draw closer and closer! A special guest star is featured as well!

DC Comics: The New 52 - November Run Down

AQUAMAN #3 - Geoff Johns continues to prove that Aquaman is actually pretty cool. I love how Johns incorporates all of our preconceptions and prejudices of Aquaman and Mera and clearly defines what they're really capable of. Solid story, and great art by Ivan Reis. Waiting for #4!

BATMAN #3 - Though this issue honestly felt like filler, it is by no means a bad comic book. Another good issue by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, even though not much really happens. One can assume it's going to be crazy good next month. I especially liked seeing Batman using a glider through Gotham City.

GREEN LANTERN #3 - Sinestro and Hal Jordan are obvious archenemies, but have surprisingly great chemistry together. Another fun issue, and Sinestro steals the spotlight here. It ends with a pretty crazy cliffhanger. Another series that I'm looking forward reading next month.
