That's kinda cool, another Animal Man who sported the Red tattoo on his chest. I wish Buddy would stay in the costume he has on the cover though, it's a waste of a perfectly good design if he's just gonna run around bare chested all the time....

Don't know about anybody else but I though Phantom Stranger was a pretty decent read, might pick up the next couple to see how it goes.

And of course Animal man was pretty good as always .

YANICK PAQUETTE Experiments in DCnU Crossover ROTWORLD

I haven't got new books since the #6 issues of the titles I was picking up. Today after a long wait I found the cash to get caught up on one title... I chose Animal Man. Got 7-12 as well as the annual and #0 issues but the shop didn't have #9. Could somebody let me know if there was anything important in that issue?

Merlin is a prince of lies.

Did anybody read Animal Man #9?!? I'm dying here! The end of #8 had Buddy's body getting taken over by the Rot or one of the Hunters Three, and then in #10 I see Buddy's had met some goat guy in the Red and that his other body in the real world contacted/kidnapped Cliff....

The totems of The Red make him a new body.

[Ωmega Man Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Ωmega Man]

They were doing that at the end of #10, I need to know what happened when he was killed/transported to the Red in #9. I assume they go up the Red river in that bone looking boat cause they were getting out of it by the beginning of #10.

Too bad Buddy doesn't have the power to go inside the body of an animal like his daughter then transform that body into a more human one. That part of #8 was insane!

Merlin is a prince of lies.

Demon Knights #0 was okay. Bernard Chang was better than expected but still his ugly long headed faces bother me so much. Cornell needs a big title at DC. He's been churning out great story after great story. I feel like DC blames him for that Reign of Doomsday b.s. I'd give him Green Arrow and let him do whatever.
