Oh ok, yeah. I haven't read that issue yet. I ordered it from ebay and should have it soon. Thanks.
I thought zero hour happened before this issue.

It wouldn't have been Zero Hour due to the time frame, and Buddy seemed to have returned to regular DC Continuity before Infinite Crisis. He seemed to have returned from Vertigo along with Black Orchid and the Doom Patrol via unknown means. The Vertigo series is just mostly ignored. I have never heard an official explanation about the series as to what is cannon, and what is ret-conned. I prefer to think of the Vertigo Buddy as a separate entity that also exists. This way if Buddy dies in DC's regular universe, I can pretend he is still alive out there somewhere. Lol.
The Mature/Vertigo part of Animal Man's history is probably one of those "Pretend it never happened" things. Or maybe Superboy-Prime's punches distorted reality and erased them. Lol.

Much likely, Milligan's run was the catalyst for a "split" between two separated fictional universes - one where OUR Buddy inhabits, one where the Milligan/Veitch/Delano/Prosser Buddy exists. The Aquaman episode must be out of continuity as well. Or maybe, one of the Pre-IC contradictions that the Infinite Crisis got rid of. So basicallly, the "Vertigo" Buddy is still there, somewhere. And please... no death rants... no death rants anymore! Buddy is still alive... "It begins". |

I believe Animal Man is cannon up to issue 26. Morrison stated in an interview that his run was in continuity for 52 but everything after that is on a different Earth which will probaly be intergrated into the new multiverse.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... but I presume that his appearances on JLA#40-41 and HAWKMAN are canonical as well... or maybe not? Hellstormer, can you report the exact quotes here? Many thanks! |

I'm not having luck finding the interview but I'll keep looking. I could be wrong though cause Sequart implies that issues 1-50 are in continuity. They don't outright say though. |

as for trading cards, i have the cosmic cards, the vs. card and i believe 4 animal man related cards from the vertigo card set. the vertigo set (i believe) has 1 for buddy himself, 2 highlighting specific issues and 1 for the baker family. dig them out and look when i get a chance.
