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.

Both the story and the artwork in this series are cluttered. Starts in media res and never bothers to flush out a full story between pages of nonstop action. Some pages are made up entirely of 1x1 detailed thumbnails of artwork, which is overwhelming when in a grid then distracting when scattered about the page. Added to the odd clipped text speak that the animals use to communicate this series requires more effort to read than it is worth.

This is the most emotional comic I've ever read. I read it years ago and recall crying more than once. It's unsurprising as an animal rights proponent that I was moved by it's premise. But, the execution of both the writing and the art really made big statements about nonhuman animal research, the military industrial complex, and the plight of lower level workers.
