The rest of the four issues collected in this trade plunge you into a world that will make you rethink your ideas about ethics and morality. ![]() There are some gut-wrenching images (it’s actually less the images, which are not as graphic as they could be, and more the ideas the images evoke) in the first few pages, but all of them are eased upon meeting Jesse and Sandor, a little girl and her loving dog, who’s suddenly achieved enough consciousness and language to be able to tell her that he loves her himself. It’s not every story that follows that up with animals coming to consciousness mid-instinct-fueled action (or just before being slaughtered in a slaughter house). From Marguerite Bennett, the writer of InSeXts and DC Comics Bombshells, and artist Rafael de Latorre (Superzero), the Animosity series is a road trip.
