Pro Teaches n00bs: Lesson 28: The Last Days of Animal Man

On Today's lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, Bianca and I go over Gerry Conway's return to comics back in 2009...with him sending off Animal Man!

Is Buddy Baker (a.k.a. Animal Man) losing it all? The everyman hero has fought hard for our world, and for his family. But by the year 2024, the Earth has seen better days: The heroes are growing tired, the villains have grown nastier and Buddy's own hometown of San Diego has struggled for years to recover from a cataclysmic typhoon. His children have grown and his marriage has gotten colder... and now, as San Diego faces the most vicious Super-Villain it's seen in years, Animal Man's powers are starting to fail him! Without his abilities, without his family - who is Buddy Baker? Can he still be a husband? Can he still be a father? Can he still be Animal Man? And more importantly, can he even survive the bloodthirsty plan his arch-rival's progeny has in store for him?

This was a VERY nice send off for Animal Man (In an alternate future mind you) that treats the ending of ones time of being a superhero through the 5 stages of Grief. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance! Come and enjoy this with us!
