You'll recognize riffs from his later work, but he did them here first, and Animal Man remains one of his most emotional (not to say sentimental) works.

Even beyond the initial "weird america road trip" storyline, Milligan creates an intriguing lead and some famously memorable guest stars.<BR/><BR/>Totally recommended. An engaging and loopy study of the "American psychosis".Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-17879987399534212222008-02-06T11:33:00.000-04:002008-02-06T11:33:00.000-04:00How was the Shade series?

I considered it just another Vertigo B-lister at the time but Miligan's gone on to do some pretty good stuff so I've been thinking of adding it to my quarter-bin watchlist.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-29921698507218510332008-02-06T10:20:00.000-04:002008-02-06T10:20:00.000-04:00that was an insane issue.in a good way.that was an insane issue.<BR/><BR/>in a good way.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.com
