Book Description

Aug 23 2011 We3
Available for the first time in a deluxe hardcover format, a powerful tale from the ALL-STAR SUPERMAN team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, packed with nearly 40 pages of bonus material!

Writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely deliver the emotional journey of WE3 – three house pets weaponized for lethal combat by the government – as they search for “home” and 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 – but a world, nonetheless, in which somewhere there is something called “home.”

Included in this deluxe hardcover are 10 brand new story pages created by Morrison and Quietly for this collection as well as over 25 pages of sketchbook and character design pages featuring commentary from the creators.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Bandit, Tinker and Pirate are three pets who just want to go home. This collection of Vertigo's three-issue release tells the tale of a dog, a cat and a rabbit, who, like their Incredible Journey–style forebears, work together as they travel through a hostile human world. The difference here is in the awful loss of innocence wreaked by human ingenuity upon the animals. They've been bioengineered to act as military killing machines, but, as the covers reveal, they started out as house pets, and readers will feel heart-tugging empathy even as the former pets are driven to acts of shocking violence while escaping from the military. Morrison, perhaps the greatest writer in comics today, endows his animals with synthesized cyborg speech in which they express their most basic desires for warmth, food and love, as well as their attempts to process their unnatural capacities for violence. "Bad dog," Bandit repeatedly scolds himself after taking down yet another soldier. Quitely's art consists of lucid images of mayhem and sweetness that, in the most impressive spreads, fractalize to express the way these animals "experience time and motion differently." It's a groundbreaking and bravura performance. This is Morrison's most accessible tale ever, and one that is destined to be a classic. (July)

From School Library Journal

Grade 10 Up–This title reads a bit like Robocop meets Homeward Bound meets the final scene of The Wild Bunch. In it, animals are being transformed into intelligent experimental weapons, and three in particular are trained to work together as a team known as WE3. When the animals formerly known as Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit are decommissioned and condemned to death, their doctor/trainer decides to let them escape. What follows is a series of action-packed and heartbreaking chase and fight scenes between the lethal animals and the United States military. The artwork is innovative and breathtaking, and there are several pages without text. While this requires some concentration, those who take time to look carefully at all of the images will witness an amazing story. This book pulls no punches; sensitive readers will be moved to tears, and animal lovers might be moved to put the book down for a while before picking it up again. The violence is often graphic, but those who wade through all the blood will be rewarded with some badly needed closure. Compelling, moving, and disturbing, this is a thought-provoking work for mature readers.–Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

I received my product so soon I couldn't even believe it! Excellent comic by the way, really touching, deep and as heart warming as heart shattering.

This book had me crying by the end of the second issue. Of course you can thank Morrison's great writing and Quitely's art for making the themes and emotion pop out of the pages. My only problem is that it was a little short, it ends well and hits all of the needed points but I was left wanting more of it. Read this book!!!

I'd rather not go on about the plot synopsis. No doubt, every other review previously written will suffice that need. Aside from my humble opinion that Grant Morrison is NOT the uber-ultra comic scribe that the world has deemed him, I do enjoy a lot of his writing, just not all of it.

That said, having just finished one of Morrison previous masterpieces on Batman, I chose WE3 for something different and I had also been recently turned on to the art of Frank Quitely. I had read some of the other reviews on line, and the story intrigued. Was not what I expected when the pages turned. Simply put, WE3 reminded me of a bit of Disney's 'Fantastic Journey', Frankenstein and Wellsian Sci-Fi.

The artwork of Quitely was the #1 reason to turn the pages slowly. Stunning. It truly carried the storyline. I cannot imagine any other illustrator working with Morrison on WE3. Lastly, it was too short for such an intriguing and 'original' story by Morrison.

Hardcover version is very nice looking slim extras.We3 Deluxe Edition
