If you think you've explored enough plots in the world of animal fiction, then you better strap on your seatbelts because with Grant Morrison's We3, you will meet three of the most intriguing and lovable animals that you've ever laid your eyes upon.

We3 is a product of world-renowned comic book writer, Grant Morrison. He has teamed up with comic book artist Frank Quietly whose illustrating style has been described as "Western Manga". Both artists have been able to portray a very engaging plot regarding three animals who live more than ordinary lives and who also have even more extraordinary abilities because of what fate has given them. 

The story is about the voyage of three different prototype "animal weapons" which have essentially escaped from the people who have experimented on them. Their trainer was the one who engineered their escape because a decision was made regarding their termination because of an expanding project that they were a part of. The group is composed of three animals. The first one is "Bandit" a.k.a. "1" who is a dog; "Tinker" a.k.a. "2" who is a cat and finally "Pirate" a.k.a. "3" who is a rabbit.

These three animals have been kidnapped from a city close by and all three were imprisoned in a robotic armor. The story develops as We3 break free and all try to find their way back home. The United States Air Force deploys all available units in order to recapture them before anyone else finds out about the Animal Weapons program. It turns out that We3 are much more capable than the helicopter gunships and the troops on foot. The story goes on to the Animal Weapon program trying desperately to retrieve these prototype weapons using all necessary and available options.

The story goes on to become a tale of cat and mouse, literally as several verminous rats have been dispatched as part of the Animal Program in order to capture and stop the escaped We3. Ultimately, the story sees the three animals being able to rid themselves of their exoskeleton with all three of the prototype suits exploding just as the three are escaping.

It could be argued that the plot could be so childish but it definitely is one of a kind and quite imaginative for a comic book plot. It's a quick mini-series that was finished in three issues but it definitely won praise from the critics especially because of  Morrison's characterization of the three animals despite their limited communication. Plans are on the way to make this into a movie and so that will probably warrant enough attention for the meantime.
