It's been described as 'Terminator' meets 'The Incredible Journey' but that is to miss much of the nuance and power of the book. In a very short span it presents, with the barest minimum of words, a complex arc from madness and perversion through to a tentative restoration of order and justice.The story is simplicity itself. Three lost pets have been converted into prototype superweapons. An ambitious senator - a very ambitious senator - likes the idea of animate superweapons, but doesn't like the fact that they can talk, so orders them destroyed. And they don't like that, so they escape from their base and go on an increasingly bloody rampage, fighting off every attempt by the military to stop them. The animals seek 'home' and, in an extremely moving moment, find it not as a place, but as a state of mind.But what's it about? Well, one could look at the surface and say that it's about how weapons / war / etc are bad. All fine and dandy, but most of the violence we see is committed by the 'heroes' against humans, so unless we have a double-standard, that doesn't wash. Or we could say that it's about the good old Frankenstein complex, which it might be at a superficial level, but I believe there is something deeper going on. Remember that the senator doesn't like the animals because they can talk. He wants the weapons to use animals, but in such a way that no-one can feel sympathy for them. Similarly, the idiotic general or colonel or whatever, who sends wave after wave of men to a horrible death, refuses to accept that the animals are more than just machines, and hence he underestimates them always. He even, at one point, complains of the horror of teaching a weapon to talk.And that is the key. We live in an age where combatants of all hues - military, terrorist, whatever - dehumanise their opponents and dehumanise their fighters. So we get 'collateral damage' instead of 'civilian casualties', and soldiers are viewed as pawns to be manipulated by commanders, rather than people who fight from an act of will. The senator's objection to talking animal superweapons is no different from the carefully sanitised view of conflict presented to us by its managers. Fighters and fighting are, as the book says, essentially amoral, but we can make them moral by the way we treat them. If we treat them as games, then we ourselves become immoral. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant, Short Standalone Comic *by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2012* I'd seen the work of Scottish artist Vincent Deighan, penname Frank Quitely, before in the Sandman comic "Endless Nights", and I'd enjoyed legendary comic writer Grant Morrison's work in "Arkham Asylum".So when I heard about their miniseries "We3", a short story about three 'animal weapons' that escape captivity, I went straight out and bought it. Robot animals!If you're an animal lover, We3 is heartbreakingly powerful. It's also gorgeous - hyper-violent and bloody, yes, but the art is colourful and the detail in the mech (robot) designs is amazing. It's often described as a 'Western Manga' style, but any influence is slight - the art is still recognizable as comic-styled and the realism of the animals really helps to carry the story.The panel layouts are fantastic - an opening scene is told through rows of tiny squares representing CCTV stills, panels twist and bend to fit the motion of the action, and huge graphic scenes are overlaid with smaller panels showing the details of the fight.The 3 animal main characters - a rabbit, cat and dog all modified to become powerful animal weapons - speak very little, but still manage to be sympathetic and realistic characters. They act like you would expect your pets to act, searching for shelter and safety, which makes the moments when they're forced to fight or injured in battle all the more difficult to see.It's a short read - almost too short, as I'd have loved a little more time with the characters - but it definitely makes good use of every available page.Disappointingly, the paperback edition fell apart during my reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story with nice artwork *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2023* Interesting use of graphics and panels to illustrate a tale from a dystopian future. The artwork was extremely high quality. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53768383-we3-paperback-25-feb-2014](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53768383-we3-paperback-25-feb-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
