WE3 #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collected edition brings together the complete three-issue miniseries We3, a visceral and emotionally charged sci-fi tale from DC's Vertigo imprint. Written by Grant Morrison with art by Frank Quitely, the story follows three cybernetically enhanced animals—a dog, a cat, and a rabbit—who escape a military lab and embark on a harrowing journey for freedom. The volume is known for its minimalist dialogue, kinetic visual storytelling, and poignant exploration of identity and humanity through the eyes of its animal protagonists.
"Chapter 1" of WE3, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely with inks and colors by Jamie Grant, introduces a chillingly precise world where three animals—each a weaponized marvel of biotech—are set for decommissioning after completing their mission. Freed by the compassionate researcher Roseanne Berry, the rabbit, dog, and cat must now navigate a hostile world they were never meant to survive. The cover, a stark and haunting image by Frank Quitely, captures the fragile tension between innocence and violence at the heart of this story.
In the shadow of a regime’s fall, three genetically enhanced animals—Pirate the rabbit, Bandit the dog, and Tinker the cat—escape the lab where they were forged into weapons, guided by the quiet defiance of researcher Roseanne Berry. As the military prepares to decommission the program, their freedom becomes a fragile spark in a world built on control and violence.
In "Chapter 3" of WE3, the trio—Bandit, Tinker, and Pirate—face a desperate struggle after being discovered by a homeless man, triggering a brutal military response with the unleashed WE4, an enhanced pitbull. As Bandit escapes and crosses paths with Roseanne Berry, their fragile connection is cut short, igniting a final, harrowing confrontation that ends with WE4's destruction. With their armor shed and their fate uncertain, Bandit and Tinker are ultimately guided to safety by Dr. Trendle, leaving their future in the hands of the man who first found them.
