Animal Man, Vol. 3: Rotworld – The Red Kingdom
by Scott Snyder, Jeff Lemire
Finally, the first volume I actually loved.
Listen, I get it, crossovers can be annoying. This one worked though, for me anyway, and you know why? It's self contained, and works well even if you just read this volume.
So together Animal Man and Swamp Thing go into the Rotworld. They get lost below and come out a year later with the entire world overrun by the Rot. This is a very interesting world just because most heroes we know are not filled with Rot. From Flash to Superman, watching our favorite heroes zombiefied is super fun.
The ending is heartbreaking and the very last issue is REALLY good and I hope volume 4-5 deal with the fallout well. The art isn't nearly as chaotic or crazy and the end result makes for a lot of great storytelling if done right. This is top notch horror superhero stuff. Let's do it!
