The Animal Man Omnibus by Grant Morrison

Grant Morrison and Richard Case (primarily) reintroduce a revamped Doom Patrol as DC’s strangest superteam, adding pure brilliance like Danny the Street and Flex Mentallo along the way. One of my favorite ongoing superhero comics of all time – no seriously it’s inside the top 10 on my best comics of all time list – and a beautiful rendering of madcap imagination without limitation. Of course that’s the famous ending of Animal Man, and there’s plenty of good proto-Vertigo comics writing along the way, such as the iconic “Coyote Gospel.”Ĭollects: Doom Patrol #19-63 And Doom Force Special #1
