Written by Grant Morrison; Art and cover by Frank Quitely

"[A] startling, disturbing and perhaps enlightening series... a provocative tale."
-ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION

"Morrison has crafted an eerie tale of sci-fi and horror... with cute, furry animals."
-SYRACUSE POST-STANDARD

Writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely tell the unforgettable story of three innocent pets-a dog, a cat and a rabbit-who have been converted into deadly cyborgs by a sinister military weapons program.

With nervous systems amplified to match their terrifying mechanical exoskeletons, the members of Animal Weapon 3 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 "de-commissioned"-until they 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."

Reception

We3 was nearly unanimously praised by critics^{[citation needed]}, who particularly celebrated Morrison and Quitely's experimentation with panel layout and page design. For example, action scenes often depicted a large primary image overlaid with dozens of tiny panels showing extreme close-ups of individual actions. Morrison's characterization (the title characters are sympathetic, despite their limited communicative abilities) and pro-animal rights stance also attracted praise.^{[citation needed]}

Collected editions

The mini-series has been collected as a trade paperback:^[1] titled We3 (104 pages, Vertigo, 2005 ISBN 1-4012-0495-3).

Movie adaptation

In 2006, New Line Cinema optioned We3 as a movie project with Morrison attached as screenwriter. The script was completed in 2006, andDon Murphy, Susan Montford and Rick Benattar remain attached as producers with the film currently in development. If the film is made, the cybernetic animals would be completely computer-generated.

On December 9th, 2008, it was reported that John Stevenson, director of Kung Fu Panda was attached to the project as a director, and that New Line Cinema was no longer involved.
