 WE3
#1 (of 3)
Written by Grant Morrison
Art and cover by Frank Quitely
The Incredible
Journey meets The Terminator in WE3 — a heartbreaking animal adventure
like no other.
The eagerly
awaited reunion of the white-hot team of Grant Morrison (JLA, New
X-Men) and Frank Quitely (THE AUTHORITY, New X-Men), WE3 is their
most ambitious collaboration yet – their own unique attempt to create
a 'Western manga' – in a wild adventure that readers of any age
can enjoy.
They’re the
ultimate cyborg assassins; armed with missiles, poison gas, state-of-the-art
computer technology and unbreakable exo-skeletons. The government
has spent millions to fuse the firepower of a battalion with the
nervous systems of a dog named Bandit, a cat named Tinker, and a
rabbit named Pirate.
As part of
a program to replace human soldiers with expendable animals, the
U.S. government has transformed three ordinary pets into the ultimate
killing machines. But now, those three animals have seized the chance
to make a last, desperate run for 'Home'. A run that will turn into
a breathless hunt to the death against the might of the entire military/industrial
complex. Prepare for adrenaline rushes and flowing tears as the
world’s deadliest, most misunderstood animals make a spectacular,
unforgettable bid for freedom!
