The second collection of Grant Morrison's groundbreaking run on ANIMAL MAN reprints issues #10-17, plus the 19-page story from SECRET ORIGINS #39, this volume shows Animal Man moving more and more deeply into the cause of animal rights. But something else is going on beyond his burgeoning radicalism. Strange visions of aliens, people disappearing into strange pencil-like drawings, and hints of a terrible Crisis lurk around the edges of reality.

Morrison magnificent take on Animal Man and exploration of metanarratives continues continues in vol 2 as we really start to examine some the real world issues, much to the dismay of the "comics have never been political" crowd. Morrison uses traditional superhero comic language to expose readers to real world animal rights tragedies, like the hunting of the Faroe Island dolphins. We the reader are slowly seeing Buddy become radicalized by the horrors he witnesses and damn if it isn't an effective way to do the same to the reader. This is a crowded volume though, combining a ton of interesting, disparate ideas ranging from environmentalism to a metafictional narrative surrounding DC's post-Crisis continuity. It's a really interesting, i more
