ANIMOSITY 1 SERIES

We all feel quite an attachment to our pets and other animals! But what if that wasn’t necessarily the case coming from them? This series explores their relationships to us and to each other, and it’s quite gripping! Let’s hope it gets there.Once again, the great sci-fi question gets asked and answered – That is, “What if?” Delta 13 has the potential to be thrilling, terrifying, hair-raising – all those things a good lost-in-space type of adventure should be. I’d like to learn a little more about what makes the characters tick before we see them thrown against some sort of adversary. They crew has landed in a completely unexpected environment, the mystery of which is enough to scare the bejeezus out of anyone.

A blue-grey monochrome certainly highlights the monotony of space travel, but really doesn’t add anything to the overall feel of the book.ĭelta 13 #1 does, however, set the stage for a potentially scary-as-all-hell space nightmare. Other times, it seems like entire people were popped in as afterthoughts. Some pages are super detailed, with beautifully rendered asteroid belts or clear and determined faces.

Unfortunately, the art isn’t much of a saving grace. We’re left with only a vague sense of their personalities and motivations, and an even fuzzier sense of the evils they will likely soon face. While the characters are chatting with and directing each other throughout the issue, they don’t cover a lot of ground. We’ll just assume that humans have screwed up their own planet enough at this point that they’re scrambling to find other resources a little more earnestly than billionaire playboys who shoot their SUVs off into the great beyond.ĭelta 13 plods along with plenty of dialogue, but not much substance. Somewhere out in the loneliest depths of space, an exploratory crew gathers data on unknown planets and asteroids. Marguerite Bennett has kept us on our toes with Animosity, and, lucky for us, she isn’t slowing down. This series far outshines any of the post-apocalyptic productions on TV, and the ending of this issue hinted at yet another engaging, albeit probably fairly hard to ingest, plot point. The take-away from these books always cuts pretty darn deep.

This issue is no exception, concluding with a scene showing that, given a choice, the powerful will strip the defenses of those who threaten them and take free will away from those who hold the resources they need. He’s walked through hell and back to ensure his people got the fighting chance they deserved, and he’ll do it all over again.Īnimosity never shies away from the terrible, especially concerning how we treat each other, both humans and animals alike. Rafael de Latorre creates a gorgeous collage laying out Sandor’s stream-of-conscious thoughts – all the enemies and challenges he’s had to face behind pictures of Jesse and Shannon, looking tired and disappointed. Hell, this mission is probably the only thing keeping him alive at this point.Īnimosity #14 opens with a fantastic dive into Sandor’s mind, illustrating his near-religious obsession with finding his girl and securing her safety before he dies. He has no idea just how far away she is from him, but I doubt that knowledge would slow him down.
