When I read the blurb for this book it made me think of Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, never read the book and not planning to, but I did watch the television series. Even from the few short pages in this comic, I knew right away it would be nothing like that. First of all the animals in Animosity are on a higher level of sentience, they talk for instance and they're funny to. The entire premise sounds like it's going to be a fun and entertaining journey. I think it's going to be very cool to follow Jesse and her dog in this strange new world.… (more)

The Pussycats get “arrested” for plagiarism by Alexandra's twin Alexander, but he was just trying to get his sister's attention. They skip a fancy awards ceremony to play at a charity concert in the park. They invite teen band The Archies (Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, and Jughead) to open for them at an arena show in Tokyo, only to have the teens get kidnapped by all the villains from the Pussycats’ past. They are rescued, of course, with the help of all the friends from the Pussycats' past.

Absolutely hilarious, just like the volume before it. It is a little weird to think of Archie and friends as being significantly younger than the Pussycats? Melody keeps calling them “my teens” (as in, “Oh no, my teens have been kidnapped!”) which had me in stitches. What a great series. I would have loved to read these as individual issues, they have great pacing. I'm really disappointed the series is so short.… (more)

Well this was quite a tour de force. Angela (of Spawn fame) found her way into the Marvel universe. To give her presence in this world she is made daughter of Odin kidnapped by Heven Angels aeons ago. So when she finally finds her way back home she performs something that completely fires off everyone in Asgard.

In order to help her friend she will start series of events that, combined with Angela's nature (that makes Wolverine look like pacifist and peoples man in comparison), will bring the entire universe in state of utter destruction.

I like how people see Angel's and their "nothing for nothing" approach as "capitalism at maximum" :) Angel (beside being ultra Amazon society of bounty hunters and bad-ass warriors in general) are based on old ways so to speak. Even today in good part of the world it is custom to give something in return for anything received. It is just a way people try to enforce the idea that nothing comes free.

Of course for Angels (that are as warm people as Siberia in winter) this concept is basis of everything. If someone is indebted he better return the favor or ..... oh boy :) As a matter of fact all Angela's actions are as they are because she tries to pay off all of her debts in a way that will give her freedom.

So in all of this mayhem (center of which is Angela) we see Asgardians chasing her, Angels trying to figure out why is everybody from Asgard so hellbent to destroy them, Guardians of the Galaxy finding themselves played around by almost everyone (but hey in for a penny in for a pound, right:) ), Hella caught in a very surprising role of helping (instead of destroying :)), Malekith and Dark Elves getting struck by Angela (you truly feel sorry for them) and Surtur, that malevolent giant, trying to pry its way back into Nine Realms. Its constant action, action, action.

And ending, ending makes me eager to get the next volume as soon as it gets published.

Art is pretty good and I have to say consistent through all issues of this volume.

Highly recommended to fans of action stories full of exotic and ancient space civilizations.… (more)
