Animal Man #1
This volume kicks off the 2012 Animal Man series by Jeff Lemire, collecting the first story arc of Buddy Baker's journey into the macabre and mystical side of the DC Universe. As a family man and animal-rights activist, Buddy faces a terrifying new threat tied to the Rot, forcing him to embrace his powers like never before. Published by ECC Ediciones in Spanish, this edition compiles the opening chapters of a critically acclaimed run that redefined the character for a modern audience.
In "null," Buddy Baker juggles the chaos of a high-stakes hostage situation at a children's hospital with the quieter, more personal challenge of his daughter Maxine wanting a pet—just as he’s stepping back into the superhero life after a brief Hollywood detour. The story quietly explores the weight of responsibility, both as a father and a hero, as Buddy navigates a moment where the line between saving the world and saving his family begins to blur.
In "null," Buddy and Maxine fight two of the Hunters Three, who are hunting the living Avatar of the Red—Maxine—while Ellen and Cliff flee from the third Hunter, unaware that their guide, Detective Krenshaw, has been replaced by the very creature they're running from.
In "null," Buddy and Maxine return from the Red to rescue Ellen and Cliff from the lingering threat of the Hunter. When Buddy’s life is in danger, Maxine draws on the power of the Red to save him—only to find her actions ripple through the world in ways she never expected.
