Vegan sensibilities kicked in pretty supreme for three animals in mechsuits rampaging through the military that made them into killing machines and later turned on them for simply being able to speak.

A truly disturbing tale reminiscent of what the CIA and Us government have done in the past. The use of animals is a great way for the reader to feel stronger about the horrors that have been done in the name of science and advancing weapons technology, far stronger than people could have. This book like a few of Morrison's other books needs to be approached when in a good headspace.

Just didn't resonate with me. I hate speech bubbles that try and add SFX inbetween. I didn't think it was cute, important or clever and I found it quite repellent, nasty and cliche. Nice art though.

Beautiful art by Frank Quitely, but I think this may be more style over substance. There’s some great visual storytelling, but I wish there was more of an emotional weight to it.

Picked up this graphic novel during Free Comic Book Day on the suggestion of one of the comic book shop employees. The cover art & story he told me about sort of reminded me of a sequel to [b:Red Moon|9431352|Red Moon|David McAdoo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1515969028s/9431352.jpg|14315860] I backed on Kickstarter a few years ago—three pets are experimented on by some shadow government agency & turned into killing machines who "talk." While I didn't enjoy [b:All-Star Superman|7719640|Absolute All-Star Superman|Grant Morrison|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1374351837s/7719640.jpg|10465171], I figured I should give [a:Grant Morrison|12732|Grant Morrison|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1311378308p2/12732.jpg] & [a:Frank Quitely|21709|Frank Quitely|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1265722375p2/21709.jpg] another chance, and I'm glad I did.

The story of [b:We3|22358|We3|Grant Morrison|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1336056522s/22358.jpg|23384] is sweet yet brutal. It's sort of like Homeward Bound with the body count of Rambo. I wish the animals would have been slightly more coherent—if you're creating a world where animals can be turned into deadly cyborgs, you can create a world where they know how to speak a little more clearly. Also, the novel I purchased had a lot of bonus pages at the end, showing original sketches and extra text talking about some of the splash pages or character designs. Part of this supplement included a script excerpt that touted how some of the art layouts would "change comics forever" and it all felt a little too self-congratulatory.

I think there was a decent idea here that could have been executed a little better, with some amazing art (that probably won't change the comic world at all).

shirt and sweet. I never though I’d feel emotions for bioweapons but here you go.
