DC Comics has released a synopsis for the final part of its miniseries The Last Days Of Animal Man, which is expected to feature the demise of the character.

The 32-page comic is written by Gerry Conway with illustrations by Chris Batista and Dave Meikis, and a cover artwork from Brian Bolland. Serving as the final chapter in a six-part arc, the issue sees Buddy Baker make his final stand against Mirror Master’s daughter Prismatik.

“Buddy Baker sees only one way to take down the Mirror Master’s daughter Prismatik and her homicidal partner Bloodrage – and even if it works, Animal Man won’t walk away from the fight. Will there be anything left to send home to what remains of his family? This future might not have a future at all,” read DC’s solicitation for the comic.

Created by writer Dave Wood and artist Carmine Infantino in 1965, Animal Man first appeared in Strange Adventures #180. The character was later revamped for a mature audience in the 1980s and featured in a series under DC’s Vertigo imprint.

The Last Days Of Animal Man #6 hit comic book stores this week.
