Animal Man, Vol. 2: Origin of the Species by Mark McKenna, Grant Morrison, Chas Truog, Steve Montano, Tom Grummett
3.0
More philosophical play from Grant Morrison. This volume definitely shows a marked interest in political activism: anti-animal testing, anti-whaling, vegetarianism, and even anti-superhero violence. In one story, images of violence being committed against dolphins prefigure with stunning accuracy the documentary footage captured in The Cove.
Most interesting to me, however were the storylines involving a mysterious "red man" who challenges the very foundations of reality for the characters he interacts with.
I'll definitely be continuing on with volume 3 of Morrison's Animal Man series. More than the first volume, this one was written for the meta-narrative-ly inclined and I can only imagine he goes further down that path as he develops these characters.
