What Drawn and Quarterly creator Aminder Dhaliwal brings to the table with Woman World, though, is not only a more heartfelt, fearless version of the genre, but one that is not afraid to be devastatingly funny in the process. Sci-fi is a genre wrought with terribly serious topics: Intergalactic wars.

Much like the beloved movie The Incredible Journey, We3 is a story about three roving animals: in this case, a rabbit, a dog, and a cat named (respectively) Bandit, Tinker, and Pirate, all of whom just want to go home. Some sci-fi is meant to make you think, some sci-fi is meant to make you feel introspective, and then there’s DC Comics’ WE3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, which manages to do both of those things.
