This book is INTENSE but also has some funny moments. I would definitely read more.

Wow...wow wow wow...Animals wake up, start thinking and talking and the world is flipped upside down in such a way as to make you question all that you know.

Total waste of time, skimmed this one and thankfully it was free from DBD.

I feel like this has a great basic idea and some sense of where it's going, but it's a bit rough.I'm going to likely give volume 2 a chance, but I'm not itching for it.

One day all the animals in the world awaken, becoming spontaneously sentient. They have names and memories and relationships and agendas. As the world goes to hell, a loyal hound named Sandor tries to protect the ten year old human girl who has raised him from puppyhood.Bad Stuff--Perspective choices in the art are terrible. Characters are repeatedly drawn such that they look like they're running the wrong way or talking to the wrong people. --Cuts between scenes are abrupt and confusing. The st...

(4 of 5 for a really interesting twist on the global cataclysm theme)I waited for a long to start reading this. It was promising, so I saved it to read it as a whole thing. I wanted it to be good and the first book disappointed. The first issue was terrific, the rest was a bit chaotic but it can be blamed on mimicking the world in chaos. I really enjoyed those "many places same time sequences" which were better than seemingly unrelated time or space jumps. The art is fine. I'm not excited about

One ordinary day, the Animals wake up. They start thinking, being logical and speaking. They come for revenge, for their mistreatment and the cruelty. Other animals stand by humans to protect them. Some humans decide the best way to fight back to exterminate all animals while others believe its best to listen to the animals and see what they are asking for. In this chaotic world of newly-intelligent Animals fight humanity, and simply fight each other, we follow Jesse an 11-year-old girl, and her...

Not bad, but I don’t think most animals would be deadly violent to humans if they were to gain sentience. I would hope they would only do it to people who deserved it. 3, kinda violent and gory, stars.

One day, all of America's animals inexplicably gain human-like consciousness and the ability to speak English and talk a lotta shit. They rise up and this leads to a new way of life where the human-animal relationship is shaky at best. But through all of this, a little girl named Jesse and her beloved dog and protector Sandor (cause he's a Hound...duh!) go on a journey to find Jesse's half-bro. Animosity has an eye-catching premise and some really inspired elements. For example, what would happe...

3.5 stars.While I love Marguerite Bennet, I feel like this isn't her strongest work. That said, it's still an intriguing premise, and very readable. I'm onboard for the foreseeable future.

In the days to come, everyone will have their turn in a cage.i loved this book. earlier this year i read volume 1 in the legend series: Defend the Grounds, which is similar to this in its broadest theme of "badass animal adventures," and now i am very impatiently awaiting new volumes in both of these series, so gimmie gimmie gimmie!here, we are presented with the phenomenon of new-onset sentience experienced by animals across the globe as they suddenly acquire the ability to communicate verbally...

One day, animals obtained self awareness and the ability to speak. The world will never be the same.They started thinking. They started talking. They started taking revenge.There's something profoundly disturbing when reading about animals embodying the worst of the human emotions. They're angry, afraid, vengeful. Part of what draws humanity to the animals is that they're not like that. They live in the moment. They operate from instinct. And the love they give is uncomplicated... the hate too.I...

Animals "wake up" and begin talking; and conquering the world. A humpback whale bursts through the water and screams "HUMPBACK WHALE" because it's trying to be a Pokemon.A pelican starts grabbing smartphones and screams "JUST YOU FUCKING WAIT 'TIL I HAVE THUMBS!"Read those two sentences. If you think that sounds stupendous, this book is for you. If you think that sounds horrible, stay away.

Re read this recently and liked it alot more. The artwork is gory and great. The story is a little cliched but I'll give the 2nd vol a shot

One day animals become sentient and no one knows why. A lot of them turned on mankind while others like domesticated dogs stayed and protected their human families. Midway through the book, the story jumps a year and heads in a different direction. Little is said about it and it's a frustrating break. I'm sure the creators have every intention of revisiting the gap though. I love the little Easter Eggs referencing other animal-oriented pop culture, like Cujo, Pokemon, and Game of Thrones. The ar...

Animosity Volume 1: The Wake by Marguerite Bennett, Rafael de Latorre, Juan Doe, and Rob Schwager4 starsOne day the animals around the earth began to think. They woke up and then they started murdering. Suddenly, the animals that have cohabited the earth as pets began killing their owners, animals began attacking each other, but animals also began killing humans in the streets. The world erupted in chaos. An eleven-year-old girl, Jessie, and her dog, Sandor, are trying to leave New York City. Th...

This was unique. So what if, one day, we woke up and animals could talk. We've heard that one a million times. However, what if the animals had the brain of humans. As in they feel, want, and need things similar to what we do. What if, after all the years of being used the way we do use animals, they rebel. Fight back. Look for revenge. Pretty scary stuff huh? The main story focuses on Sander and Jesse. Sander is a dog, and Jesse a 11 year old girl, and together they go into the new world trying...

One of the best graphic novels I have ever read. I laughed, I cried and cheered. This was incredible and I am hooked on this series forever. Love Sandor <3

I hang out at a SFF fanzine, File 770, that offers plenty of book recommendations, and I've found a lot of interesting new books this way. Of course, each recommendation is something of a crapshoot; sometimes you find something you like and sometimes you don't.This definitely falls into the latter category.After reading it, it took a couple of days for me to realize why I so disliked this book. The premise sounds exciting and high-concept: in the wink of an eye, some Unknown Event wakes all the

The colors and art worked really well together, and I think the premise is really fascinating. I wish there had been more clarity regarding Jesse and her family tree though because it left me incredibly confused. Adding to that confusion, it seems like her parents aren't really her parents, but I finished reading and felt unsure. I wish we knew more about Jesse as a character. We only see her as this kind, practically saint like, figure, but we're not given much else. It's not even clear to me h...
