Will Sargent reviewed Animal Man volume 1 by Jeff Lemire
Review of 'Animal Man volume 1' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
The artwork is great. The actual plot is... well, hackneyed and trite are overused phrases, but my teeth start grinding together when I hear dialogue like "Only Alec Hammond can save us now!"
And the rest... well, if you've read Swamp Thing at all, you'd recognize that this is the exact same plot. It's Tia, down to the same Flesh Elemental powers. And the Rot instead of the Grey, but...
...yeah. This is by the numbers mad-libs plot. There's nothing original at all in the story here. Buy it for the art if you must.
