'Animosity Vol. 5' by Marguerite Bennett with art by Rafael de Latorre and Elton Tomasi continues the saga of a world where animals now have speech and have risen up against humans.
After the fall of the Walled City, the animals and women spend time discussing their lot in life and how oppressed they each are. Then Jesse gets lured by a group of snakes to take some venom and talk to God, only to find that God isn't there. A trip to an encampment puts everyone in danger, and the animals plan a celebration for Jesse only to have things go very wrong.
Not every collection of volumes can have a complete story arc, and after the events of the last book, I suppose I should have expected this. There is an awful lot of dialogue happening and it kind of crawled along for me. The art is still good, and there are glimpses of where the story might end. Read it because you enjoy the series, but know that it feels like a middle with some set up happening.
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.

This series is really good at switching between existential examinations of the human condition/consciousness and Walking Dead style apocalyptic mayhem. This volume was a little more philosophical, but still wildly original.
