Proof Pictures Really Are Worth 1,000 Words - By: The Kinniburgh Kid, 29 Oct 2008 
The plot, fast paced if a little predictable, is delivered with some of the best comic book art.
Mixing regular panels with full pages, double pages, multi-screen CCTV & even fragmented, almost 3-D panels, the artist has delivered something most Hollywood blockbuster directors fail to - stunning eye candy that amazes while progressing the action & the storyline.
The art is so good it carries the story like a racehorse gallloping to the finish, but immediately rewards a second, third & repeated appraisal at much slower, more appreciative pace. One to enjoy quickly, share with friends & then revisit.
one of the best....ever - By: godzilla78, 25 Aug 2008 When you mix the combination of morrison & quietly you get 5 star quality....every time & this is no exception. I suppose being someone who likes cats & dogs (not forgetting the rabbit) you can't fail to enjoy this short but heartwarming tale. A dog, cat & rabbit are modified by the government to become killing machines though the animals still retain their own instincts & impulses. Rather than hve the project shut down from the men in suits, the doctor in charge of the project sets them free. The military sets off in pursuit of the three confused & frightened animals with the intent of seek & destroy. Morrison continues with his top quality work in capturing the simplicity of the tale which has the reader hoping the animals can survive the onslaught from the government. The art of Quietly is stunning as always & his use of panels & visual style capture the set pieces perfectly. Its a 5 star blockbuster on paper & i cannot recommend this book enought. The third & final chapter is absolutely fantastic as the animals work as a team to thwart the military & you realise just how cunning & loyal family pets can be. This is a must buy! Probably my alll time favourite graphic novel.
Absolutely Brilliant - By: Sj Gamble, 16 Jan 2008 It's a rare piece of fiction that you can't shake from your brain after reading it, certainly a rarer comic that does so (although I am a big fan of the medium, they usuallly aren't so affecting as say, the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker).
The plot has been outlined before so there's no need for me to do so, only to say that Grant Morrison has been a favourite of mine for years through his work on 2000AD & Batman: Arkham Asylum.
This collection is well worth your money because although it is short it manages to pack in action, pathos & philosophical & moral quandries to keep you thinking for days. Any writer who can convey such meaning with the limited dialogue WE3 are capable of is deserving of much respect (not forgetting Quitely's fantastic artwork, of course).
I can't recommend this highly enough.
read this then hug your pets! - By: BigGingerLiam, 01 Jun 2006 This is an astonishing comic book with the most stunning art i have ever seen! There is an almost contradictory beauty in such savage images (eyeballl, you'll understand when you see). The story itself is almost a cross between "the incredible journey" & "terminator 2" although it seems crass to decribe it as such. It is ,without question, the most moving comic book i have ever read. PLEASE READ
A Rarity Amongst Comics - By: , 29 Oct 2005 As I always have said (well, to myself anyway) the best comics are always random, the ones you pick up off the shelf & realise they are spectacularly different to what you had imagined. At first I thought this comic was a comedy piece, but as I flicked through the pages I realised it was a gritty, violent & quite sad story.
It features 3 domestic semi-sentient animals which have been augmented/cyborgised (rather tragicallly) for a military experiment. But when their usefulness is at an end, the 3 (a Dog, Cat & Rabbit) who only have each other as family, a bare understanding of speech, humanity or the world around them, try to escape & find 'home', with virtuallly everyone on their trail.
This very adult & tragic tale a rarity amongst comics. Whether you're a animal lover or a mech fan, It'll leave a bad taste in your mouth, it'll make you think "should I be upset by a comic?", & it'll make you wonder why you can't get it out of your head.
I promise you, you'll flick the last page & just think "...damn".
