Grant Morrison, We3

My first encounter with les enfants terribles Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely was through the New X-Men run, although both were already famous. They are each masters in their respective fields, and to see them at work together is always a pleasure.

The storyline is here razor-sharp; as in the textbook example of the silent opening sequence.
Moreover Morrison plunges head-on (as he will) into a theme that is absolutely up-to-date, made even more poignant by his trademark viciousness.

I would love to see some of Quitely’s sketches, especially for the biorgs (a bit of mecha nerdism on my part).
