WE3

A stark, emotionally potent three-issue miniseries from DC's Vertigo imprint, WE3 follows three household pets—a dog, a cat, and a rabbit—who have been surgically weaponized by a secret government program. When they escape their captors, the animals must navigate a hostile world while struggling to retain their fading domestic instincts. Written by Grant Morrison with meticulous, heartbreaking detail and rendered in Frank Quitely's expressive, visceral art, the series is a haunting fable about the cost of violence and the fragile nature of innocence. Its concise, powerful storytelling has made it a landmark work in the "animal as soldier" subgenre of comics.
