New 52 Animal Man

Description

In The New 52, Buddy Baker has spent less time being a hero and has returned to his role as an environmental activist. He has also taken up acting, having appeared in an indie drama about a washed-up superhero named "Tights" whose passion is superheroics. Buddy later starts to suffer strange nightmares about three monstrous figures, known as the Hunters Three, and his own daughter Maxine, who has started to manifest powers of her own by which she can seemingly resurrect dead animals. When Buddy and his wife Ellen discover this, Maxine tells them that someone has been calling her from a certain place and points to the red tattoo on Buddy's chest referring to The Red. Buddy and Maxine then travel around California until they come to a tree that sucks them to The Red.

While in The Red, Buddy and Maxine find themselves face to face with a group of massive animal men called the Totems. The Totems welcome Buddy as Maxine identifies them as the old Animal Men, since they've been coming to her in her dreams. Maxine is an avatar of The Red, like the other Totems were; Buddy wasn't. Thus, the Totems give Buddy the identity of Animal Man so that he can train Maxine for the upcoming battle between The Red and The Black (aka The Rot).

Wow,you're right you got A-man there,good job. Just one thing though,I am aware of the new 52 Animal Man series,just haven't got anywhere a comic book shop to find it.

I also prefer the 90s animal man who had the orange and blue costume with jacket,but that's okay at least he geets a micro,which is way cool.

Oh yeah,and if you do a micro of Shade,please make it the classic one or at least the flashpoint one,he was a combo of the two shades,which was pretty cool.
