CBR:Quickies Jamie Delano's Animal Man
Time for another run through Animal Man comic books!
With writer Jamie Delano, the life of Buddy Baker took a U-turn into the bizarre and straight horror.
Closer to Stephen King stories than anything else.
It also after a couple of issues that Animal Man left DC for their author-driven in-print Vertigo Comics.
DC was offering a lot of explorations of the medium and mature oriented comics under that banner, like Hellblazer: Constantine, Doom Patrol or also its flagship, Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
It was also rereleases of Grant Morrison's run as trade paperbacks that helped implement the brand in the market. So bringing A-Man under that banner was a no brainer at that point.

CBR:Quickies Tom Veitch's Animal Man
If I called Morrison's Animal Man David Lynch-ysh and Milligan's one David Fincher-ysh, Tom Veitch's take is a bit more conventional and straightforward, but just as weird.
It combines a scifi approach with a more supernatural tone. Episodic but still engaging.
I can only really compare it to J.J.Abrams' Fringe TV series.
Anyway Peter Milligan's run on Animal Man saw our hero return to form at the end, with all the weirdness past behind him.
Or so would he.
Let's embark on a journey through about 20 issues, in what I like to casually call "Animal Man vol. 5: Totems and Gods"!
