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

Dog Eyes
I have chosen to analyze page 105 in Grant Morrison’s and Frank Quitley’s We3. I thought this page had particular significance because it is the point in the graphic novel where Bandit realizes that the coat of armor in … Continue reading → Continue reading
Roseanne’s Parrot
Page 19 struck me as one of the memorable scenes of WE3. Here, the first scene with Roseanne comes to a close as she’s getting ready to leave her home, trying to get her parrot, Charlie, to talk. After one last effort to get Charlie to talk, Roseanne leaves before she can hear Charlie say […] Continue reading
Hit Me with Your Best Shot
Wow. I am blown away by the violent nature of WE3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. It’s not that I’m shocked by the excessive use of weapons, blood and death.

BAD COAT. COAT. IS COAT NOT “BANDIT.”
Throughout WE3, the animals are all preoccupied. 1, who is arguably the highest of the three animals, cognitively speaking, is preoccupied with the idea of “HOME,” the act of “PROTECT,” and morality, striving to be a “GUD DOG.” 2, on … Continue reading → Continue reading
It’s Like Bullet Time
As the government gives chase to Bandit, Tinker and Pirate, in the second edition of We3, a scientist tells the pursuing soldiers over the phone that they do not understand what they are getting themselves into. He describes to them the depth of the alteration done to We3, trying to prepare them, “even their senses […] Continue reading
Analysis of Page 72 of We3
Page 72 of Morrison and Quietely’s graphic novel We3 portrays the moment when characters 1 and 2 kill the hunter and his dog for injuring 3. This sequence of events in We3 is significant on a few levels. On one hand, this scene illustrates the reasoning this team of animal assassins has developed throughout […] Continue reading
