FOLLOWING HIS GROUNDBREAKING WORK ON HELLBLAZER, AWARD-WINNING WRITER JAMIE DELANO JOINED ARTIST STEVE PUGH TO RETURN ANIMAL MAN TO ITS VISIONARY GLORY IN ONE OF COMICS' MOST UNDERRATED MASTERPIECES. Buddy Baker is killed. His son Cliff is abducted. The Baker family is coming apart...but Buddy refuses to die. Bound bodiless to the Red--the life force connecting all living things--Buddy will claw his way through an impossible chain of reincarnations to save those he loves! But bringing Cliff home is only the beginning. Forever transformed by his experiences, Buddy returns as something new. As six-year-old Maxine's connection to the Red takes shape, the family will find themselves at the heart of a revolution to save humanity. This visionary saga of primal horror, ecological apocalypse, and supernatural fantasy asks mankind one simple question: evolve or die? Either way, the revolution starts now!
