Thesis: Mark Singer's article, Free Agents, explains some of the techniques that Grant Morrison

uses through his comic that causes readers to think about animal experimentation in the military.
Morrison also goes into detail about the structure of his comic with the addition of the Antennae
interview. Another interview by Matt Brady called Disney with Fangs, describes We3 as the story
that "was more prone to bring a lump to the throat", in other words, We3 has a way to tug on its
readers' emotions.
Second Paragraph: Singer and Antennae's articles are able to agree how Morrison is able to show
the audience that even though We3 are weapons, they are still animals. Brady asks Morrison
what images stood out to him the most and he replied with a powerful image of the killers
taking off their helmets to reveal three nervous, worried looking little animals underneath. The
transition from military weapons to loving animals, is powerful when revealing the true faces of
the assassins. Morrison somehow creates a sense of anger toward the scientists who have
drastically change these poor animals. Mark Singer, explains how Morrison [seizes] every
opportunity to demonstrate their animality. Illustrating animal characteristics onto these robotic
armored creatures, enable to readers to care about Bandit, Tinker and Pirate. Both Singer and
Morrison are able to understand that the use of the showing We3 as animals have an emotional
effect on the audience. The emotions of readers arent just influenced because of the animals, but
also through the humans of this comic. Dr. Roseanne Berry, the scientist who taught the animals
how to talk, was the one who released the animals. Images show Dr. Berry taking bullets for
Bandit, illustrating that there is still good in humans. This illustrates to readers that Morrison did
not "stick with a four legs good and two legs bad" approach (Antennae, 84). The heroic actions
of Dr. Berry, doesnt only make readers proud, but there is a sense of sadness because of her

brave sacrifice. Singer's text and Antennae's article help us understand Morrison's usage of
pathos more efficiently.
