History YMMV / WE3

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The comic is about three talking animals trying to find their way home; the covers feature "missing pets" notices written in childlike style. Kids'll love it, right? Sure! Except for the scenes featuring the cybernetic animal soldiers literally tearing apart the soldiers meant to come kill them, the part where [[spoiler:the rabbit explodes while hurling itself at a car]], and all sorts of graphic violence in between. Oh, and it's being adapted into a movie directed by the guy who made Kung Fu Panda. Prepare for some traumatized children...As if the Vertigo label wasn't a warning already...

%%* TheWoobie: All three protagonists, but especially 3.

* DevelopmentHell: The movie adaptation.
* FromBadToWorse: You will repeatedly hate yourself for turning a page.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The comic is quite {{Anvilicious}} on its condemnation of unregulated animal testing, but the story of the three abused protagonists being made into [[{{Cyborg}} Cyborgs]] made it a somber story.
** Whether intentional or not, the story also explores the ethics of drone warfare.
* TheWoobie: All three protagonists, but especially 3.

* TearJerker: Pretty much the whole thing.
