2008-01-16 Absolutely Brilliant

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 usually 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 and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
This collection is well worth your money because although it is short it manages to pack in action, pathos and philosophical and 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.
