Animus

Animus stepped onto the page in 2016, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #8 — a Fantagraphics publication that has long been one of alternative comics' most celebrated homes. A Modern Age creation, Animus inhabits the rich, layered world Hernandez has been building for decades, sharing adventures with a vivid cast that includes Lumina, Isla, Katak, Tonta, and Gomez. With a dozen appearances across Love and Rockets and its companion series, this is a character worth tracking for any reader who appreciates the literary ambition and visual storytelling that have made Gilbert Hernandez one of the true masters of the medium.
