"Writer Xavier Dorison and artist Felix Delep have crafted a powerful and different look and direction for this Orwell inspired book. "--geekvibesnation.com, "If you are looking for powerful visuals and a modern-day parable that can be compared to our own existence, check out this trade collection of Animal Castle!"--gatecrashers.fan, "This book is powerful, hand-drawn, dramatic as heck, touching, and emotional." --fanboyfactor.com, "It's worth mentioning that perhaps the most striking thing about this comic is its timing. With real life headlines telling us of Putin's unjust war against Ukraine and the bravery of average Ukrainian citizens as they fight back against Russia's presidential dictator, what better time could there be for a comic like Animal Castle?"--frankiescomics.com, "The writing is great with matching wonderful artwork."--lrmonline.com
