THE CREATIVE TEAM BEHIND ALL-STAR SUPERMAN BRINGS ANOTHER MASTERPIECE TO COMPACT COMICS! Weapons of the future. Deep inside a top-secret U.S. research facility, a revolution in cybernetics is taking shape. Using ordinary domestic animals, the scientists of Project AWE have created a new class of cyborgs--flesh-and-metal creatures designed to rule the battlefields of tomorrow: prototypes code-named WE3. But successful as they are, WE3 are still only prototypes, to be dismantled when their testing is complete. Faced with destruction, WE3 run out into a frightening and confusing world, where they are now as much of a threat as those who hunt them. Relentlessly pursued, WE3 fight with the combined firepower of a battalion--and a faint, warm memory of somewhere called home. WE3 is a tale crafted by bestselling writer Grant Morrison and superstar artist Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman, Batman and Robin, JLA: Earth 2) and is a creative high point for these two comics giants.
