We3: DC Compact Comics Edition - by Grant Morrison (Paperback)

About the Book

"Deep inside a top-secret U.S. Air Force research facility, a revolution in cybernetics is taking shape. Using ordinary domestic animals as their test subjects, the scientists of Project AWE have created a new class of cyborgs: flesh-and-metal creatures designed to rule the battlefields of tomorrow. The project's crowning achievement is a trio of prototypes code-named WE3--each one custom-built and trained to work as a specialist within a team. With their nervous systems enhanced and supplemented by cutting-edge military hardware, WE3 are the ultimate smart weapons. ... But successful as they are, WE3 are still only prototypes, to be dismantled when their testing is complete. Inside their fearsome mechanical shells, however, are three lost pets whose amplified traits include the will to survive--an instinct that proves to be even stronger than their makers knew"--

Book Synopsis

Three weaponized pets, one desperate mission: a harrowing fight for freedom against impossible odds.

Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit were once ordinary pets--until they became WE3, government-engineered cyborg assassins with terrifying firepower. When the trio is slated for decommission, they escape, embarking on a desperate journey to find "home" in a world that now sees them as weapons of mass destruction.

Relentlessly pursued by their creators and hunted by terrifying new cyber-enhanced foes, WE3 must rely on their instincts, their bond, and their enhanced abilities to survive. This gripping tale of loyalty, survival, and the cost of freedom will leave readers breathless and deeply moved.

This volume collects We3 #1-3.
