So much to love in here. The characters are full of life. Ceasar, the rabbit who just so happens to be a male prostitute, Miss B; the struggling widow who is a mother of two, the wise old rat Azelar who brings myths of revolution from distant lands, the rooster who propagandizes the animals, the evil President Silvio, and many more.

This issue dives further into the corrupt leadership if this farm in a dark yet slightly comical way. The story develops further to introduce a traveling rat performer who performs a story clearly depicting Mahatma Gandhi, which sparks new ideas for resistance within the animal proletariat. The art is exquisite and it feels like you get a lot of it for the regular $3.99 price. The only thing that would improve this would be to publish it in the wider magazine format, as that appears to be the original intent based on the panel layout and draftsmanship detail. I hope this gets an oversized release when it's collected in trade format to do it proper justice.
