A lot better than any expected, with Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman, Steve Pugh and more, driving the character forward, gaining fans and, it seemed, also gave us the only married lead character in the New 52. Well, that wasn't going to be allowed to last was it? Jeff Lemire writes; My run as the writer of Animal Man,[...]
