### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Building Metatextual Story But Still An Animal Man Plateau
  

*by C***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019*

This is a solid volume, and Grant Morrison's experimental/metatextual style is much more prevalent in this second collection.  As with the first volume, I enjoyed this quite a bit, but still think it skews much more heavily toward focusing on Morrison and his experimentation with the genre rather than on the titular Animal Man and really developing him.  I would have given it 4 stars but there were not any hard-hitting memorable issues like there were in Volume 1, and the animal activist storyline for Buddy felt forced and preachy (something Morrison himself apologizes for in the next volume).  Still a good run, but just an okay middle chapter in between slightly better volumes.

    The template
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016*

The second Volume of animal man is even better than the first. After reading through these issues, I no longer have to wonder how this became such an influential and acclaimed series.This volume is divided into two sections. The first half is one long arc, where the meta-fiction is extremely ramped up, and Buddy finally gets his powers back under control. The second is a series of stand-alone issues that show the superhero side of animal, dealing with villains of the super and not super variety.The big problem with Vol. 1 was the cross-over dominated the back half of the story, and wasn't explained in nearly enough detail. That issue disappears here, and you don't need to know about everything going on in the DC universe to understand the plot. I look forward to the final volume for Morrison.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This is where it starts fitting together more cleanly
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015*

Morrison's plots start paying off and building on each other.  A more consistent volume than the Volume One, where Coyote Gospel particularly stood out but the other stories felt rushed.  The political commentary in the context of South Africa is interesting, the plots involving the overlay of the original Animal Man with his more modern 1980s counter-part and the alien intervention to fix the problem is also particularly interesting.  Animal Man's concerns for animal rights causes becomes more pronounced as does his involvement with more fringe elements of that moment, but this plot line did not feel as fleshed out as one would hope. This comic is still strong now, and one can feel Morrison start to really strain the forth wall a bit.  It is nice that DC finally released the entire DC mature/Vertigo run of pre-New 52 Animal Man.
