Animal Man #18 Review

4 / 5

This week's Animal Man is the epilogue to the Rotworld event. As noted in the Swamp Thing review from this week, this is an arc that's dragged on perhaps a little too long. It shows this week when there's such a relief to just see Buddy with his family again. Before he can fully reunite, however, he has to stop one last group of Rot monsters, this time with the help of Maxine. It makes for a fun adventure, that ends on a solemn note. Things are not going to be happy for Buddy Baker when we return to Animal Man next month. It's evident early on in the book where it's headed, but it's disappointing none-the-less. Not disappointing as a reader, of course, but just feeling for the character. Much like some of the other books from the week, I'll not be elaborating too deeply as there are some big plot points (that's what happens when you conclude longer arcs and there were quite a few arcs finishing this week!). I'm looking forward to seeing where the consequences of this month's issue take the series from here. Can't wait to see next month's issue!
