Mary's Reviews > We3

This book is so many levels of great.

I find that with literally every comic book I read-- especially ones published by big names such as Vertigo-- there is some aspect to the plot, the illustrations, or the characters that I find offensive. In order to continue enjoying comic books, I've had to swallow my moralism and keep on plugging for the sake of sequential art... but luckily enough We3 was a refreshing break from that. The humans were racially diverse, women weren't drawn to be titillating, and holy fuck, it even has a message the ALF would be proud of.
Not to mention, it was technically very well written and drawn. I thought many of the transitions were ingeniously done, and appreciated that Quitely utilized photoshop layering without the heavy-handedness usually seen.
I'd recommend not reading this book in public, unless you don't mind becoming a warbly sack of tears in front of everyone.
