Book Synopsis

What happens when your powers betray you, your family doesn't recognize you, and you might have eaten a horse? Welcome to Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon's Animal Man--a hallucinatory plunge into altered states, CIA cover-ups, and primal rage.

Emerging from a coma, Buddy Baker discovers a warped reality where memory, instinct, and identity all collapse. As he partners with the bizarre Nowhere Man and battles everything from jungle visions to media-themed supervillains, Buddy's wildest journey begins--not into heroism, but survival. Twisted, tragic, and darkly funny, this run flips the script on superhero psychology.

This volume features Animal Man #27-50, Suicide Squad #58, and War of the Gods #3.
