May 8, 2008 8:21 am Have they released any preview art for future issues? I love the art in the framing sequence, but if Willingham gets cream-of-the-crop rotating artists to do his backup stories (as in this first issue), this could be fantastic. And since the writing on Jack of Fables has been muddy/meandering, hopefully, the forced structure of HoM will keep everyone more focused. I'd love to see Joshua Middleton do a story. He has been woefully mis-used ever since he went DC exclusive.

May 8, 2008 8:08 am I agree. And a perfect marriage of story and art. WE3 stands out as some of the most visceral, beautiful and at times, thought-provoking comics I've ever read. Its impact is immediate and the imagery sticks with you for a looooooong time. And I wasn't implying WE3 is a remake or a retelling of Incredible Journey, but it seems IJ would have been mentioned during the inevitable "X meets Y" pitch. Not sure what WE3 would be... Incredible Journey meets... Terminator?

We3 is utterly, jaw-droppingly BRILLIANT, and it's a rare book that appeals to non-comics readers as well as fanboys. Josh, when you said you couldn't think of another story like this, you DO mean besides the obvious source material, The Incredible Journey, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Journey

Netflix can help you out there. Now, where's that online petition to get We3 made into a summer Hollywood blockbuster? And the tpb is a bargain, but the art is so good, you'll wish you had an ABSOLUTE edition with pages 10 feet tall.Just breathtaking.
