Animosity the rise11/7/2022 ![]() ![]() It’s at this moment that the Adam of the previous issues is revealed: a man who will do what’s best for his patients. Only when something suspicious occurs near him does he finally get a close-up, showing his face. Doe makes the colors for these pages very cool, reflecting his temperament. ![]() Many characters move about him, but he’s oblivious, giving him a dead man walking aura. As they leave the pool and make their way to a patient, Adam moves like a zombie, his thoughts elsewhere. Adam’s first appearance in the issue is foreboding, framed high looking down onto a pool, he looks incredibly small as he puts his feet in the water while Keekirikee takes some laps. The joy on Leila’s face on 6 is a terrific tease of things to come. The crime committed on 5 is graphic and shocking. The attack on the humans would make Alfred Hitchcock jealous with its ferocity, and it’s conclusion on is epic with Leila’s arrival on Gwen. The birds shown in the second panel on the page are terrifying, with every possible flyer present, with many sporting knives. Thankfully, it’s only for this single panel and the rest of the book looks great. Often photos don’t work when combined with artwork and this proves that so. That said, I was worried about the first panel of the book which features a bird flying against an obvious photo of the Southern California hills. The art and the colors: I’ve been impressed with Juan Doe’s art since the premiere issue and continue to be so (He’s also the illustrator on World Reader, another AfterShock comic worth picking up!). Bennett constantly keeps the reader on his or her toes! Overall grade: A Just as Bennett addresses one issue, another appears, with the final panel showing where this civilization is heading. The consequences had me holding my breath. A dramatic show of justice by the animals causes him to come to a decision and he makes it known by the end of the issue. He spends the issue wondering what to do, while tending an animal who has something nefarious occurring to her. He’s fretting what to do, because if he joins he’ll always be on the run from the animals and if he stays he’ll always be under the animals’ control. Last issue the doctor received a message via his caretaker bat Keekirikee that the Resistance wants him to join them. #Animosity the rise seriesThis was a good tease by Marguerite Bennett about where this series is heading, but this is put aside for Adam North’s plight. Looking in one of the truck’s cabs she finds something that’s going to change everything. ![]() This complicates Leila’s position, the human on the horse, though her response is quick. #Animosity the rise free“San Francisco, the free city of animals, hereby commandeers these trucks!” The humans obey, but two of the avians have bloodlust and do something terrible. The birds obey as she approaches the men, telling them to go to their knees. A human appears on the scene on horseback, yelling for a ceasefire. One human says that they’ll be eaten if they surrender, prompting the bird with the megaphone to reply, “No, human…We’ll eat you if you don’t!” The birds dive upon the men, raking their flesh with beaks and blades, while the humans shoot what birds they can as they attack. Using a megaphone, one of the bird tells the humans they are aware they are out of fuel and ammunition and that they need to surrender. One week after the animals began thinking.” A monstrous flock of a wide variety of birds, several bearing swords in their claws, are making their way to a convey of nine trucks held by the Human Resistance. This image captures where this series goes, so don’t say you weren’t warned. Beautiful and horrific cover by interior artist Juan Doe. No other series combines the animal world with shocking imagery like this series does. The cover: A playful seal erupts from a pool of blood with a human skull balanced delicately on its nose. ![]()
