Who are the main characters in the graphic novel We3?

The story follows three kidnapped pets—a dog named Bandit, a cat named Tinker, and a rabbit named Pirate. They are forcibly equipped with advanced cybernetic armor and weaponry by the United States military, turning them into ruthless assassins.

How does Frank Quitely visually represent animal speech in We3?

Instead of traditional speech bubbles, artist Frank Quitely uses bright, colorful typography and icons to represent the animals' simplified, computerized thoughts. For example, the dog Bandit's internal monologue is largely represented by glowing, fragmented words like 'GOOD' and 'HOME.'

What genre does We3 fall into?

Written by Grant Morrison and published in 2004 by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, the series blends high-octane action with profound animal rights themes. It is often described as a modern, ultra-violent take on 'The Incredible Journey,' heavily critiquing the military-industrial complex.

How many issues of We3 were originally published?

Before being collected into a single graphic novel, We3 was originally serialized as a three-issue limited series in 2004. The collected trade paperback was later released by Vertigo, featuring additional sketch material and commentary on the comic's creation.
