Comics: Anyone else read "WE3" by Grant Morrison?
Man, I let issues one and two of this 3-issue series go by. Then, on a lark, I picked up all three when the final issue came out yesterday, came home and read them.
:thud :cry
I cried for, like an hour. What business does a story this moving have in the comic book genre, I ask you! I've read some stellar work in the past 25 years of collecting, but, damn!
Brief synopsis: A group of 3 kidnapped pets have been experimented on by the government, who hope to use them as the first wave of a new breed of non-human soldier. Just before being decommisioned, they escape.
The storyline sounds old at this point, but what really makes the story work is the realism of the three animals. Even their "dialogue" is 100% believable. It's not that cheesy, human crap that comes out of the pets' mouths in "Homeward Bound."
Ugh. I can't do it justice. Just read it the first chance you get.
Many, many props to Grant Morrison for this stellar work.
