Animus Antoine Revoy Books

Antoine Revoy’s first graphic novel is a rich and suspenseful tale that explores childhood fears and fantasies. The author takes a playground, a place that is an unlikely as a setting for a horror story, and uses it as a stage for fantastic characters and a wonderful mystery.

Antoine illustrated a story that explores an ageless theme of children yearning to be adults and adults dreaming to be children again. I loved the detail of the illustrations which artfully conveyed a suspenseful mood. Animus is an entertaining read that has enough depth for both teenagers and adults. I highly recommend buying it since it is a book you will want to revisit.

Animus Antoine Revoy Books Reviews

Great psychological thriller with plenty of twists. Read the entire book in 2 sittings! It was that intense, and the art was also incredible. Looking forward to the film version.
A playground of nightmares intrigues two kids and next thing you know, they were left solving a mystery and left entangled in one. There really is nothing else to say about this graphic novel except that the concept, in my opinion, was unique. I actually enjoyed the story because of its overall chilly and retro vibe. I admit that there were still some questions I had left unanswered but I liked the graphic novel in its entirety.

(Huge thanks to the publisher for approving my request to read this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)
This was a decent book that drew me into the story more than I expected. My son and I picked this up at the library on a whim and both enjoyed it. The premise is a bit creepy but does pull you in.

Kids have been going missing and a couple of young children end up at a mysterious playground with a mysterious boy. The mysterious boy introduces these children to the strange and magical properties of the playground.

I thought the idea of a playground with supernatural powers was cool and the effects the playground had were both eerie and intriguing. The illustration was pretty typical manga style and didn’t really stand out for me.

The ending left me really confused and I felt like a lot of things were left unresolved. I don’t think this is the first book in a series, but it could be. I discussed the ending with my son and we were both confused about what was going on. The mystery behind the huge number of missing children didn’t really seem to be solved either (kind of but not really).

Overall this was an intriguing graphic novel that had some neat ideas but left me a bit confused. I would tentatively recommend if you enjoy strange supernatural stories that are a bit creepy.
There’s a strange playground tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The swings see into dreams and the concrete animals hear all within the park. When they accidentally stay past sundown, friends Hisao and Sayuri meet the park’s resident ghost. He knows all about the magic of the playground but can’t remember his own fate. When their friend is injured finding out what happened to Toothless might be the only way to save him. They’ll have to bring Toothless’ story and remains to light with nothing to go on but a handful of vague memories.

I find Antoine Revoy’s Animus frustrating. The concept is fantastic and I am, repeatedly admittedly, a sucker for a good ghost story. The idea of a playground haunted by a dead child, his trapped spirit anchoring magic to the playground itself, is fantastic. The protagonists needing to break his curse to save their friend is great. But then the end falls apart and everything feels like lead up to skipped side plots.

There is a lot going on in Animus, and it all feels like it should add up to something. The police superintendent is shown talking about the missing kids a couple of times. There’s whatever connection is between Toothless and the playground. And there’s the maybe saving their friend by saving Toothless. But then it feels very much like our friendly ghost is up to something nefarious. Like he isn’t on the up and up where the hurt friend is concerned. But the connective tissue isn’t there.

There are hints at maybe things and a second or third read paying close attention will offer some connections, but it isn’t anything solid. Things never tie up neatly or otherwise and I found myself with more questions at the end of the book than I had to start with. Not in a fun way that leaves me hoping for a sequel either. I felt like Revoy forgot to include half of his story or got bored part way through writing it and spun up an ending so that he could get to the art.

The art is pretty fantastic though, especially the backgrounds. There is a section with a bridge and the forest around it that is absolutely gorgeous. The art for the human characters isn’t as great, but I feel like that is more for effect than an issue with Revoy’s skill. The faces are a sort of cartoony but in a way that feels like an exaggeration of life rather than a simplification of it. That lends itself really well to moments of uncanny creepiness.

My issue with Animus comes entirely from how rushed the ending feels. There are things that happen that aren’t adequately set up or that are only hinted at in such a way that the payoff for them feels really weak. Again, I’m left with more questions than answers on this one, which is unfortunate because if more time had been taken to work things into the story everything that bothered me about the end could have been awesome pay offs for character work. This could have been a really cool first book in a series with side plots digging into the characters and what makes them tick, but instead it winds up being a lot of build up to a nothing ending.

I keep coming back to that, like a missing tooth or a scab, Animus could have been really good with a little more work put into it. It could have been but, as it stands, it’s a five star start with a one star follow up. I would check out something else by Antoine Revoy, but it would definitely be a library borrow. That lands Animus with a three out of five.

I was sent a copy of this for honest review by the publisher, First Second.
Great thriller. Gorgeous art and characters with compelling relationships. Loved it.
I want the see more!
Absolutely love it. Finished the night I received it. The plot grabs your interest (at least mine) and you are both kind of scared (in a good way) and excited to find the result/solution the more you read. The art is very delicate and detail-orientated, which add to the realistic style the creator has. I flipped back numerous times to find hints and foreshadowings (which there are plenty) because the ending is quite shocking (spoiler?)! Will recommend others to purchase and I will definitely reread it soon.
