We3: The Deluxe Edition
by Grant Morrison
So this is kind of like the movie Homeward Bound, which I loved as a kid. Except with cyborg animals. And probably definitely an R rating for violence.
A dog, a cat, and a rabbit have been cybernetically enhanced to be killing machines by the military. Unfortunately for the animals, they're just prototypes and after the success of the project is proved the military decides to decommission them. At which point they escape and all hell breaks lose. The military wants them dead and the animals just want to go home.
Even though the comic is pretty short, it did a good job of making me care for the animals. Each one has a distinct personality and little things like the missing posters for each of them just add to their character. Despite the feeling of animals vs. people, there's even a good human or two in the comic. Though the humans mostly get far less development, aside from the woman in charge of WE3. I was also surprisingly happy with the ending. Kind of sad due to a death, yet happy/hopeful enough to not be soul-crushing.
The art is pretty awesome. There's tons of cool things going on with panel placement and angles of view. The escape of the animals is told via CCTV footage, which worked out really well for creating a feeling of suspense. There's also some really well done action sequences. Also, lots of violence and blood and gore. Despite the cute fluffy animals on the cover, this is probably not a good book to give to younger children. At all.
