Morrison and Quitely deliver the emotional journey of WE3—three house pets weaponized for lethal combat by the government—as they search for “home” and attempt to ward off the shadowy agency that created them. With nervous systems amplified to match their terrifying mechanical exoskeletons, the members of Animal Weapon 3 (WE3) have the firepower of a battalion between them. But they are just the program’s prototypes, and now that their testing is complete, they’re slated to be permanently decommissioned, causing them to seize their one chance to make a desperate run for freedom. Relentlessly pursued by their makers, the WE3 team must navigate a frightening and confusing world where their instincts and heightened abilities make them as much a threat as those hunting them.

Former Animal Man writer Grant Morrison revisits the issue of human inhumanity towards animals in this story published by Vertigo Comics. Beautifully illustrated by Frank Quitely, WE3 is a frightening, hyper-violent science fiction story "suggested for mature readers." It opens in a secret military research laboratory where scientists are working to replace humans on the battlefield with cybernetically enhanced, remotely controlled animals. Their first success is creating a horde of "rat biorgs" able to repair complicated machinery-aided by the drills and other tools that have been surgically grafted to their bodies. But when a senator comes to inspect the scientists' progress, they show him their proudest achievement, an armored dog, cat, and rabbit outfitted with an array of deadly weaponry and electronic voice boxes that allow them to communicate in a crude form of human speech. At the conclusion of his visit the senator orders the animals destroyed-or as he puts it, "decommissioned"-not because he disapproves of the project, but because they were not specifically bred to be used as test subjects and he is afraid the mental strain of their condition may eventually make them uncontrollable. As the "lost" posters that appear before each chapter in this book make clear (the story was originally published as a three issue miniseries), Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit are all stolen pets.
Instead of euthanizing the animals as ordered, the doctor in charge of their care removes their restraints and allows them to escape into the night.

Let me begin by stating that I am not terribly fond of graphic novels. Even as a child I had no particular love for comic books. Nevertheless, a positive review of Morrison's and Quitely's We3 in the Washington Post, which included a stunning illustration of a cybernetically besuited cat springing at the viewer before a lightning-torn sky, inspired me to check out this work.
I immediately loved it. It's quirky, insightful, exciting, and profoundly moving. One could be trite and call it "Incredible Journey" meets "The Terminator." But this is a much more complex work, and such a comparison does it a disservice. The graphics are innovative and beautiful (even the violence and gore is rendered with a loving attention to detail). The artists manage not only to break out of two dimensions and add depth-here are bullets half the size of the page, flying uncomfortably close to the reader, there a fight spills off the bottom of one page only to crash down on the top of the next-but also to add an element of time as well. No old-school comic this; time and depth and skillfully rendered with clever tricks of the graphic arts.
The story is a simple one: Three family pets, abducted by the government and turned into lethal killing machines, are about to be "decommissioned" (read euthanised). A helpful scientist helps them stage a violet escape, and they begin their journey "home," though what home might be, none of them has a clue. The animals speak in a simple, synthesized patois of AOL-speak. The cat uses "ST!NK" to describe that which it doesn't like, and refers to the dog's (who is called "1") not knowing anything as "1 KNOW 0." The dog is obsessed not only with home, but with being a "GUD DOG.
