'Animosity, Vol. 4' by Marguerite Bennet with art by Rafael de Latorre is a later volume of a series I read early on. It seems that it has improved a bit since I read it.
Animals have taken over, and now they can speak. The main characters in the series are a young girl named Jesse and her faithful hound Sandor. Sandor is dying, but wants to see that Jesse is safe.
Unfortunately, Jesse has been taken to the Walled City by Kyle, where humans live in a world where they rule. Jesse finds that the Walled City wants to use her in a frightening way. Sandor is trying to find her and this leads to a showdown between animals and humans.
After reading the first volume, I didn't feel that strongly about the concept or characters. This title has matured, in my eyes. Maybe because Jesse is a little older, or the characters are a bit more sympathetic. I liked this story arc. I also appreciated the synopis at the beginning to help catch me up.
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.

Still one of my favorite ongoing comics, though I wasn't as into the setting or new characters in this one. Reads somewhat like a volume of The Walking Dead.

I think what a lot of this series is showing is that there is always going to be good and bad within the world, and it will depend on what side you are on what you do or how you are percieved. In this one, a colony called the Walled City is thought to be a heaven on earth, especially for the women of the world, but when Kyle brings Jessie there, it's shown that this is no heaven on earth. As one woman tries to bring back human society, through cruelty and violence both to humans and animals, Jessie shows the girls of the commune that there is a different way to live, even if it means leaving the safety of the walls.
