One of the absolute best comics I've ever read. I was waiting for this one to pop up on Grant Morrison week. By the way, as far as I understand it, it was Morrison's idea to use the 18-panel grid pages for the escape. I'd love to know how much else about the groundbreaking art design was his creation. Incidentally, has anyone ever seen The Plague Dogs? I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned in more reviews of WE3 because it's highly similar in concept. And I agree: poor Pirate. At least he went down swinging. "Uh-oh." Hear, hear!

Unfortunately, I've managed to forever sour a couple of people on comics by letting them read it: they're animal lovers, and were entirely too grossed out by the topic and unable to follow the story. Quitely's layouts, while gorgeous and expressive, aren't the easiest for a newcomer. That's a faint criticism, however - Bach's fugues aren't for beginners either. We3 was a fantastic graphic novel.

The fight against Weapon 4 was the most suspenseful sequence I've ever read in a comic. I can't wait for the movie, especially since Morrison wrote the script. A toast to Pirate.

It's one of those great examples of not only a great story but a great comic too, the way panel layouts are used and the medium is experimented with make you realize this wouldn't be the same in any other medium (it could make a great movie though, but it would be an entirely new *ahem* beast. Sorry.). And it's still a very accessible work too! One of my favourite comics too, and I’ve merrily spread the virus by giving the paperback as a birthday present.

One of the best series I've ever read, which puts Granty on there twice with <i>Flex Mentallo</i>. If you don't jump up in that scene above where Tinker jumps on Weapon Four, well, there's just no hope for your dead arse. And there are at least three scenes, not to mention those covers, that get me a little misty every time. One can nitpick it, and believe me people did when it was coming out in singles, but for my money it's one of the best ever. Oh yeah.
