DC COMICS FIRST LOOKS

FIRST LOOK: THE LAST DAYS OF ANIMAL MAN #1

The Last Days of Animal Man #1 will arrive in stores on May 27 from DC Comics. The issue is written by Gerry Conway, with art Chris Batista and Dave Meikis; and a cover by Brian Bolland.

Here's how DC describes the issue:

"Is Buddy Baker losing it all? Everyman hero Buddy Baker 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, his powers are starting to fail him! Without his powers, 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?"

The Last Days of Animal Man #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
