  We3
For Levinas, as in We3, it is not the ontological status of the "other" -- human "like me" -- that determines one's ethical engagement, but his or her need -- the vulnerability that is presented to one's sight as the other's very face -- that does so.
That is to say, in stark contrast to the nation-state, which thinks in terms of borders, citizens, and enemies, and is rather obviously the "villain" of We3, Morrison and Quitely end with the provision of home by the homeless, and, by the end, a community that is neither reducible to a group nor a dwelling.
WE3, as they call themselves, have been giving the ability of rudimentary speech and the sparse communication is used by Morrison to give insight on how the animals think and feel.

 The Book Review: WE3
On one level, WE3 is a damning anti-vivisectionist book: the animals are mutilated, trained to talk and obey orders, then discarded, all in the name of waging war.
WE3 is a fantastic graphic novel, with much to offer - both as a morality tale and as a first-rate action-adventure.
But the real value of WE3 - and the reason why it should perhaps be on the shelves of everyone who claims to be serious about the medium - is its extraordinary ambition and technical excellence.

 BSOSpirit -- Comic Bites -- We3 (Miniserie de 3 números)
We3 era sin duda alguna uno de los proyectos que desde que se anunció el año pasado tenía más ganas de leer por varias razones.
We3 es una miniserie que se lee en un respiro (en media hora escasa) pero que te agarra con tal fuerza, que su lectura te deja casi sin aliento.
We3, sin ánimos de ser muy exagerado, es uno de esos comics que todo aficionado que se precie debería leer.

  Why we3.org
The 'WE3' inscription is found on a photograph taken in January 1935.
Wallis presented the photo to Edward and inscribed on it: WE3 with the 3 thrice underlined.
Therefore it seems appropriate for Wallis and Edward's daughter to use WE3 as the title of her story.

 We3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We3 is a three-issue comic book miniseries by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, who describe its kinetic style as "Western Manga".
We3 are pursued by helicopter gunships and troops on foot, but their weaponry and fighting skill is vastly superior and they dispatch all soldiers sent against them with apparent ease.
Prior to his work on We3, Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men stated that the X in the Weapon X Program stood for the roman form for "10", with Captain America being Weapon One, and Wolverine being the original Weapon Ten.

But they are just the program's prototypes, and now that their testing is complete they're slated to be permanently "de-commissioned" — until they seize their one chance to make a desperate run for freedom.
Relentlessly pursued by their makers, the WE3 team must navigate a frightening and confusing world where their instincts and heightened abilities make them as much a threat as those hunting them — but a world, nonetheless, in which somewhere there is something called "home."

 Read About Comics » We3
In many ways, We3 is a terrifying update of The Incredible Journey; it’s an attempt for three animals to go home no matter what’s thrown into their path.
On a superficial level, We3 is so much more than that thanks to the military’s usage of the other animals that were created, like an army of rats that can attack in unison, or the horrifying killer that is “We4″.
We3 is the sort of book that can be described as depressingly beautiful.

I have no idea where this came from or why I found it so affecting and compelling that I kept coming back to it, but that was the genesis of the story and the echoes of that original scene are there in the first 13 pages of issue 1.
I instantly wrote down the plot for We3 in my notebook and then began to work on the first script, without knowing who'd be drawing it.
We3 is probably one of the first of these kind of stories to treat the animal heroes as animals and not as anthropomorphized representations with human emotions and speech patterns.

The small panels mirroring the panels from issue #2, particularly the penultimate right one that shows a closeup of the hand that grasps the homeless man from behind in the third panel—a hand the man shouldn’t be able to see—indicates the homeless man has superhuman perceptual abilities similar to the animals’.
His ready acceptance of talking animals and confident determination to remove their “coats” seems to suggest he’s mentally unbalanced (he says he needs liquor, and the building where he lives is full of broken bottles—is he an alcoholic?), but maybe he knows more than he lets on.
As We3 charge past her and she waits for the release of death, they choose instead a moment of freedom and focalization outside this binary between death and captivity.

 "We3" Comic Pets Kill On Film (June 8th 2005) - Dark Horizons
Writer Grant Morrison is in negotiations to adapt his "We3" comic book into a feature film for New Line Cinema says Reuters.

It revolved around three pets -- a dog, a cat and a bunny -- kidnapped from their homes by the government and hard-wired into military battle suits, turning into robo-assassins.

We3 tells the story of three household pets subjected under military interests and converted into instruments of war.
In We3, he suggests that our superiority over “earth’s creatures” stems not from the complexities of our higher reasoning, as many of us would like to think, but rather our imposing methods in securing dominance.
The We3 animals are capable of a wide range of individualistic expressions their conditioning did not remove: sadness, fear, sympathy, anger — their capacity to feel is what military officials may fear most.

 Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > We3 #1
It seems to me that We3, at least from a storytelling, design standpoint, and at least from the first five (and presumably 7) pages, is cobbling together everything that comics has evolved through since them and creating a new, equally ubiquitous, distillation of the comics language.
i think i will save we3 til last but being able to choose is going to kick my weekend right into the premiership.
Anyway, I just got a kick out of how the entire issue was supposed to be completely without speech, and Grant went ahead and had some at the end of the issue anyway.

 Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward Since 2000.
In the most startling sequence in a corporate comic this year, a United States Senator touring the We3 facility is introduced to the three animals, now locked down in confinement mode after a successful assassination.
The animals don't know it, but this is to have been their last mission together -- technology and research have moved forward, and these early successes are about to be put out to pasture -- metaphorically speaking, of course.
We3 is the most exciting new superteam of the year, and ironically one of the most human comics I've ever read.

 We3 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
The wars of the future will take new forms, but their essence will remain Kubrick's ape, bashing in the heads of his enemies in "defense" of God, country, and way of life.
We3 is a covert team consisting of a dog, cat, and rabbit bred for the battlefields of the future, where war will be waged by generals with PlayStation controllers and VR helmets linked to soldiers whose blood beats far, far away.
Despite We3's success, the military brass, discomfited when the leader of We3, a dog named Bandit, speaks, decommissions the project.

But they are just the program's prototypes, and now that their testing is complete they're slated to be permanently "de-commissioned" - until they seize their one chance to make a desperate run for freedom.
Relentlessly pursued by their makers, the We3 team must navigate a frightening and confusing world where their instincts and heightened abilities make them as much a threat as those hunting them - but a world, nonetheless, in which somewhere there is something called "home."
This is simply a marvellous tale - it manages to combine hi-tech SF with a wonderfully touching tale of everyday pets which will tug at your heart strings without ever being schmaltzy.

The veteran doesn’t have to have been fantastically altered by the government to sympathize with WE3; his mere experience of combat would be enough to enter their world.
Maybe the visual sense of most modern comics has gotten constrained enough that We3 has more impact than its older cousins, competing as they were with fairly radical spinner rack work by Sienkevicz, Simonson, Kane, etc. Sort of sad that this kind of ambition isn’t the norm.
WE3 is ultimately told by an omniscient narrator who chooses to “show, not tell,” and it’s our perception that’s being fractured and reconstituted on the page.

Yeah, We3 needed to be longer, I think.
we3 is so sad, like theres not a lot of text but just the images and the little amount of text there is made it so powerful for me. i have to say though, that frank quietly has some weird panels/drawings, sometimes it was hard to figure out what was going on.
We3 is incredibly short, not just in volume but also in text.

 The Alien Online - Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror News, Reviews, Articles and more...
When the military decide they are no longer of use, they escape, and go on a corpse-strewn quest to find ‘home.’ This is one of Morrison’s most provocative works to date, particularly as it is uncomfortably close to the truth, and Frank Quitely’s art is at time too savagely beautiful to look at.
GM: WE3 is his pinnacle so far definitely and hopefully opened up the possibilities of layouts using page depth instead of just surface, as well as creating a style of art more influenced by video and computer games than by film noir.
WE3 by Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely is released on August 26 2005 by publishers Titan Books.

 I Am NOT The Beastmaster: good dogs
A number of souls are born in the final issue of We3 as the characters make ethical decisions and develop independent selves.
The first issue promised a story that could only end in tragedy, with We3 doomed to die without their medication and racing toward a home they didn't know they had been made completely unsuitable for.
I was torn with the first issue of We3, partially because it is a relatively lean (word-wise) issue.

 IGN: WE3 Review
The WE3 animals have done nothing wrong, they have simply outlived their usefulness to the military.
Brutal, humorous and heartfelt, WE3 is your typical Disney "talking animals journeying home picture" with a big fat set of balls.
And once Morrison has his hooks in your heart, he tugs repeatedly with an fast-paced action tale that is easily one of the best of the year.

 We3 #1
I can't say I was one of them - Morrison's more experimental projects have never sold in the numbers of his superhero books, and Seaguy was firmly in the experimental category.
We3 is his next Vertigo project, reuniting him with sporadic New X-Men artist Frank Quitely.
But this time the experimentation is more in the narrative style than the plot.
