We3

We’ve been waiting for this collection to come out – We3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. It has been, to coin a phrase, eagerly anticipated – not just by our readers but by a fair number of the FPI staff as well, myself among them.

Imagine one of those old Disney ‘incredible journey’ type tales of brave animals crossing the land, with high-tech thrown in and given Grant’s twist. Well, its here in the stores and likely to move quickly, so you better move even quicker!

Don’t just take my word for it – here’s what James Lovegrove, author of Untied Kingdom and Worldstorm, said in his review when he added We3 to his top ten favourite graphic novels for us:

"Grant Morrison, over the years, has produced his fair share of classics: Doom Patrol, Animal Man, The Invisibles. He has also produced his fair share of overrated disappointments: Arkham Asylum, The Filth.

With We3, he's taken his writing skills to new heights. An apparently simple tale of a trio of surgically-enhanced super-weapon animals - think The Incredible Journey meets Universal Soldier - this three-issue miniseries packs in more action, suspense, tragedy, pathos and inventiveness into its short run than the majority of comics do in a year. Art by the peerless Frank Quitely, also at the top of his game, is a distinct bonus."
