Grant Morrison - Author
Frank Quietly - Illustrator
4.5/5 stars
Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat and Pirate the rabbit are all part of a top-secret government program to radically modify housepets into military killing machines. The three are decommissioned and scheduled for euthanization but the doctor who was in charge of the project cannot bear to put the animals down and instead helps them escape. The three housepets, horribly altered by human ingenuity, must find their way to the homes they were stolen from while evading the dogged pursuit of the U.S. military and the remnants of the program they left behind.
The story is fantastic; Mr. Morrison is perhaps the greatest writer of comic books working today. The art is powerful and emotionally evocative; Mr. Quietly shines in this collection. My only quibble would be with the length -- 3 issues is just too short for such a creative team working with such a promising premise. Highly recommended.
