Episode 93 — Three

November 19, 2014

This week on View from the Gutters our topic work is Three, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Ryan Kelly. Three is Gillen’s direct response to Frank Miller’s 300. It is the story of three Helot slaves in Sparta, roughly a century after the Battle of Thermopylae—a period when Sparta was in decline. The three slaves are the lone survivors of an uprising against the masters and are fleeing Sparta, pursued by an army of Spartans seeking revenge.


In our recommendation section, our hosts nominated Hacktivist, Trinity, Ms. Marvel, Wonder Woman (New-52), and Zero for discussion on the next episode, and our selected title is Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan). For this episode we will be reading issues #1-9.


Our hosts for this episode are Andrew Chard, Brant Gillihan-Eddy, Tobiah Panshin, Kayleigh Fleeman, and Cade Reynolds.
