WE3

Horrifying & beautiful at the same time, even if your not a fan of Grant Morrison this is one of his best works.  In just this three issue mini-series Morrison & Quietly pull out all the stops to give us a truly heart wrenching tale.  WE3 is Weapon X meets The Incredible Journey,  it is a story about humanity's inhumanity to nature.  Using animals as commodities to save human lives by sacrificing the animals in the name of science & the greater good.  What happens when one of the scientist has a bout of guilt about what they've done; what happens when the animals escape.  Morrison's script is actually pretty straight forward with a nice ironic ending but the real gem of the book is Frank Quietly's art.  His art is horrific & hauntingly beautiful at the same time.  For anybody that is an animal lover this is short & tough read but the ending will satisfy.
