review:
'Animosity: Evolution Vol. 1' by Marguerite Bennett with art by Eric Gapstur is about a time in the near future when animals have found their voice, and with it, they also gain power.

At some point before this graphic novel, an event called The Wake happened. Now that animals can speak, they are, for some reason, in charge. A wolf named Wintermute runs a town with her human companion Adam. Resources are lean, and food is a bit scarce. Because of this, there is a thriving black market. There is also enough dissatisfaction to make Wintermute an assassination target. It's a good thing that Adam is an animal doctor.

It's a volume 1 that follows previous events, so I felt a bit lost reading this. I was able to pick up on things, but I missed having emotional connections to the characters that seemed to be called for. It's an ok story, but I had a hard time keeping my interest. It's talking animals, but it's definitely not a kids story based on the language and violence.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
