"Weapons of the Future. Deep inside a top-secret U.S. Air Force research facility, a revolution in cybernetics is taking shape. Using ordinary domestic animals as their test subjects, the scientists of Project AWE have created a new class of cyborgs-flesh-and-metal creatures designed to rule the battlefields of tomorrow. The projects crowning achievement is a trio of prototypes code-named WE3-each one custom-built and trained to work as a specialist within a team. With their nervous systems enhanced and supplemented by cutting-edge military hardware, WE3 are the ultimate smart weapons-programmable yet autonomous, loyal yet utterly ruthless. But successful as they are, WE3 are still only prototypes, to be dismantled when their testing is complete.

Inside their fearsome mechanical shells, however, are three lost pets whose amplified traits include the will to survive-an instinct that proves to be even stronger than their makers knew. 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. This edition includes a special sketchbook section featuring more than 25 pages of behind-the-scenes material"-- Provided by publisher.
