WE3


Title: WE3
Story: Grant Morrison
Art: Frank Quitely
Publisher: Vertigo (DC Comics)
Issues: 1-3, complete
Year: 2004.
Rate: 10

PROMO: Writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely tell the unforgettable story of three innocent pets-a dog, a cat and a rabbit-who have been converted into deadly cyborgs by a sinister military weapons program.


REVIEW: Pas, mačka i zec, nekada voljeni, onda oteti, modifikovani, iskvareni - kućni ljubimci pretvoreni u nemilosrdne, bazičnim instinktima vođene ubice. Bivaju prevaziđeni, suvišni, pogrešni, osuđeni na smrt. Naučnica koja ih je stvorila, koja ih je volela tako nakazne, koja im je zbog toga podarila i moć govora, nije mogla... oslobodila ih je. 
Broj 1 - vođa, rastrzan između želje, potrebe da bude dobar pas i svog zla koje su mu ljudi počinili, mačka - neporobljiva, neustrašiva i duboko zgađena ljudima i zec - nažalost, ne posebno bitan lik. Bežeći, tražeći kuću, ubijaju talas za talasom specijalaca koji su poslati na njih, svađaju se i mire, vlast i vojska u strahu od masakra oslobađaju najnoviju zver - WE4, ali ni ona nije dovoljna da pobedi želju za životom, slobodom i ljubav, prijateljstvo... psa i mačke.
dirljiva, oh, do suza dirljiva, priča o svom zverstvu modernog doba, o ratu, o biološkom naoružanju, o upotrebi znanja i nauke u potpuno pogrešne svrhe, o iskorišćavanju onih koji nas jako i bezuslovno vole...
Izuzetno!

Singularity 7


Title: Singularity 7
Genre: Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk/Horror
Art: Ben Templesmith 
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Issues: 1-4, complete
Year: 2007.
Rate: 8.5

PROMO: With the Earth laid waste by an assault from microscopic nanites, humanity hides in underground cities. But those cities are being destroyed by the "Gosiodo" -machine beings engineered to convert the remnants of humanity to the will of the nanites. It's up to seven men and women, seemingly immune to the nanotechnology, to fight back... before there's nothing left to fight for.


REVIEW: Umećem vrhunskog pripovedača nas Ben Templesmoth uvodi u njegovu priču, brzo iefektno gradeći oko nas zid iluzije, uvodeći nas u svoj svet. Iako do kraja ne uspeva da zadrži stiopostotnu pažnju, propušta da razvije likove, Ben ipak donosi zadovoljavajući narativ koji bi trebao da se dopadne svim ljudima post-apokaliptične postavke.
Ono što ovde, ipak, jeste vredno vremena i novca jeste vizuelni stil stripa. Ostavši veran svom ličnom pečatu razvijenom u već više puta pominjanog "30 Days of Night", autor još jednom donosi svoje i u odnosu na ostatak industrije posebno iskustvo za oči.Lepo je čitati strip koji ne izgleda kao niz screen shotova iz nanjnovijih igara.

PROMO: It's one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things. Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to cut loose. Just to feel the fire. One more time.
And then Ava calls.
