This is one of my favorite books. Period. Prose, comics, whatever.

WE3 is my favorite Morrison/Quitely collaboration to date. I hesitate to even describe my emotional state after reading the book for fear of spoiling a great storyline, so I’ll just say that the ending has tremendous impact.

I think We3 preceeded LOL Cats by a year or so.

We3 is one of my favorite comics, hands down. It is one of the comics I also recommend to friends looking for comics who don’t usually venture into the medium. It’s use of the page, concise plotting and ability to generate genuine reader reaction in such a brief, smart, straightforward story is tough to beat.

I don’t know if, like another recent comic that made it to the big screen, it will ever properly translate should the movie be made.

Nice review; I was just thinking about this the other day. Do you, or do any of your readers know, if We3 preceded lolcats or that weird cat-speak that birthed lolcats? (I know I read We3 years before I heard of a lolcat, but then, I’m not into any cat-focused Internet subcultures).

Just wondering if Morrison predicted the future there or if he was an early adapter or if it was a weird coincidence that those pets talk kinda sorta not unlike lolcats.
