Animosity: The Rise

In this three-issue prequel miniseries from AfterShock, Marguerite Bennett and Juan Doe explore the earliest moments of the world-changing "Wake," the event that gave animals human-like consciousness and speech. Set before the main Animosity saga, it focuses on the initial chaos and confusion as creatures across the globe suddenly become thinking, feeling beings. Bennett's sharp character work and Doe's moody, expressive art provide a compelling origin point for the series' central upheaval, showing the first sparks of a revolution that would redefine the relationship between humans and animals.
