I complain a lot about poor writing and mediocre art in comics, but only because the medium is capable of so much. Check out this sequence from the outstanding We3. There is very little context provided in the actual issue, but the action is very engaging even without dialogue or panel captions. Just look at it. The entire narrative is conveyed with still images placed in sequence. This is the type of storytelling comics are uniquely capable of. I wish there was more of this type of thing and less money grabbing crossover nonsense.
Though the writing of these panels deserves mention, the art along with a substantial portion of the credit should go to the great Frank Quitely.
