About the book

"We3" follows three household pets—a golden retriever named Bandit, a cat named Tinker, and a rabbit named Pirate—who have been surgically encased in robotic exoskeletons and weaponized by a secret military program. Known as Animal Weapon 3, the trio escapes their laboratory after their decommissioning is ordered. The story tracks their flight across the countryside as they evade heavily armed pursuit while attempting to find a vaguely remembered place called "home." They communicate through basic electronic speech synthesizers that translate their animal thoughts into fragmented English phrases.

This graphic novel is for readers interested in the ethics of animal testing and the intersection of biology and machinery. It appeals to those who enjoy experimental visual storytelling, specifically how page layouts and panel sequences can simulate high-speed movement and sensory perception. Readers walk away with a stark perspective on the human capacity for cruelty toward domestic species and a technical appreciation for how illustrations can convey complex spatial action without relying on heavy dialogue or traditional narration.
