Animal Man #28 Review –“The Animal Family is Back and Stronger Than Ever!”

Intro

Since the New 52 began with Animal Man, Jeff Lemire has done a great job on the series. He has made Animal Man really grow as a great character. Animal Man is a man that really cares for his family, no matter how bad the relationships been and that’s why I appreciated the character so much. The family members have been great as well and they even make you care about them too. The struggles these characters will make you feel sad and engaging all the way through. This is one series I recommend getting in trade if you’re a new reader since this series is cancelled and there’s only one issue left. But if you still want to follow through anyways, it’s still good because he will be joining a new series/team called Justice League United and you might want to pick that series when it starts to enjoy more new adventures with Animal Man. So, it’s a win-win situation if you want to pick this issue up. In this issue the family is still put through a deep struggle which is still an enjoyment to read.

Story

Animal Man fights Brother Blood to get his family back.

The Good

The story continues to be engaging and it’s great to see how an encouraging these characters can be even despite all the struggles. It’s great to see that Little Wing and Animal Man’s confidence are one and the same and seeing how much they are willing to do to save their family and friends.

The Bad

The art is really ugly and disgusting here. It’s the only disappointment this book really has and the action would have been so much greater if the art wasn’t so bad.  Everything looks really rushed and muddled and there’s so much detail. It even makes the book feel off and the text is pretty hard to read at times.

Verdict

I give this issue a 4/9 out of 5/10 stars. This issue brings a really power struggle to the characters I really love. Animal Man and Little Wing really show their courage and how strong they can really be as characters. I really love the fact they are willing to achieve at anything to get their family and friends back. It really shows them how much of heroes they really are. The only disappointments in this issue the art and it does seem to go by too quickly. That’s why I couldn’t write anything more. But other than Jeff Lemire does a great job and the issue is still worth buying. It really has a great character buildup that’s worth looking into.
