Brooding Lilith

Since I have to write this before I go to work today and there hasn’t been a topic posted yet, I am choosing to write a response letter from Akin to Lilith, after he has been captured. Dear Lilith, I miss you very much. I have been captured for over a month, and I would […] Continue reading

Agency in Lilith’s Brood

We talked in class on Tuesday about the forces of agency in Lilith’s Brood.  Who has it?  At this point I’ve only read up until page 163, but I have found that the Oankali have all the agency.  For instance, … Continue reading Continue reading

Trading Species

I’m having a hard time getting into the collection of Xenogenesis that is Lilith’s Brood. The post apocalyptic earth where humans have nearly wiped themselves out is a common theme or background in sci-fi but one I can only tolerate … Continue reading Continue reading

Brog 4

For this week’s blog I’d like to pose a question.  Why does Pirate seem so estranged from the rest of We3?  The first big difference that I noticed were the lost pet signs.  Bandit and Tinker both do not have … Continue reading Continue reading

We3, Underneath the Armor

Firstly, wow. I have never struggled so much to read a graphic novel before. Turning each page pained me more and more as I grew emotionally attached to the animals. I gave my dog many treats after finishing the story. He was pleased. Anyway… One of the first moments that struck me was the first […] Continue reading

We3

I know the topic was to choose one page but I had to choose a full spread over two pages. On pages 50 and 51, there is a great action scene involving 1 and 2, and what they are actually capable of. The use of smaller panels within the larger panel really helps to better […] Continue reading
