We3: the deluxe editionBy Grant Morrison
Vertigo Publishing, 2011, 144 pgs, Graphic Novel
In an updated and graphic version of previous tales like the Incredible Journey and Homeward Bound, three animals are on a journey home. In this more violent version they have been engineered by humans to become lethal cyborg killing machines. They started life as pets, but were taken and used as government prototypes, to be disposed of when the project is decommissioned by the military. Rather than see them die, their trainer allows them to escape, and the innocent and simple animals have only one goal, to go home. Terror and death ensue when the animals use the lethal hardware they've been equipped with to protect themselves and each other.
This is a disturbing and thought provoking novel. One that will leave you with much to consider about our society and the morality behind how we view animals as pets, food, or expendable objects to further our scientific and military objectives.
