Animal Man, Volume 4: Splinter Species
by Jeff Lemire
Been so long since I read the last volume but I remembered the heartbreaking final issue in the last volume and was a bit worried this volume couldn't deal with the fallout. Luckily, 90% of it did.
Buddy is trying his best to deal with the death of someone close to him. The first issue is long, but very well done, and deals with grief in one of the best ways I've ever seen if I'm being honest. Then the next issue is about Buddy doing a movie, and it feels very close to his life, with a few changes, and now he's in the spotlight again. While that's happening his daughter is dealing with traveling the Red and on a mission.
This whole volume is both well written, respectful to people who have lost before, while also setting up the next superhero adventure. The ending was probably the weakest part but everything else leading up to it worked well. The art is solid for this style and hits home with emotions.
I can't wait to read the fifth and final volume is this series as it's only gotten better and better last two volumes.
