Animal Man, Volume 2: Animal vs. Man by Timothy Green II, Travel Foreman, Jeff Lemire, Steve Pugh
5.0
Jeff Lemire is a genius.
The newish incarnation of Animal Man continues with the battle between the red and the green escalating significantly, with the life of a little girl in play, and with an appearance by Swamp Thing. The artwork is spectacular, the writing a perfect balance between weird and scary and interesting, and nothing really comes out as predictable. It's near perfect, and Animal Man has effectively locked itself in as my favorite of the current New 52 arcs.
An extra bonus was the Buddy Baker "origin story" toward the end which was a pleasant surprise to go along with it.
The next trade can't come out soon enough.
