We3 Digital Comics – Comics by comiXology

jamie-sf:

The unforgettable story of three innocent pets converted into deadly cyborgs by the military. They’re prototypes, slated to be permanently de-commissioned—until they make a desperate run for freedom. Relentlessly pursued, the WE3 team navigates a frightening world, seeking something called home.

Another recommendation – this one by Grant Morrison under the Vertigo imprint. It came out in 2004 and digitally in 2013. Disturbingly beautiful (it’s got animals and pet gore in it, skip this rec if that is a trigger for you) we carried it in the bookstore I was working in and I’d recommend it to folks who were looking for near future with a dystopian twist and were open to a graphic novel.

It’s heart rending in places.

jamie-sf: Hee! I’m glad my choices resonate with you. I’m surprised my text is that persuasive, honestly.  In this case the book is excellent and I like to recommend complete runs of things because that’s what works best for me. I have more recommends in my queue!

#I think I need to start reading Hawkeye

You do. You really do. I just got the trade paperbacks and have read them each six times each at least. 

There is an entire issue from the dog’s point of view. I shit you not. It’s brilliant. And the bit right after that last part— he’s hopping on one foot half-dressed to get in the car in a great hurry (Katie is the getaway driver and she’s a fucking amazing driver for the record, as long as it has wheels— she doesn’t do boats) and he gets in there and she just sits there, takes her sunglasses off to stare at his shirtlessness, and says “Really? Really? With the abs and the—” and he flips his shit because the bad guys are abducting the damsel in distress and she’s sitting there ogling him.

Thank you, Kate Barton, for expressing just what is so great about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in comic-book form.

Okay. So I really would like to give Hawkeye a try. But I’m in China for the duration and can’t just nip off to my local comic book shop. What’s a girl to do? Where’s a girl to start? 

Comixology has them!  You want the 17 issues written by Matt Fraction. The art in the post is all from his run with David Aja and it is brilliant! If you have a US bank card they take it and you’ll have them digitally. Direct link to the series in question.
