so one day I was in Barnes and Nobel with my buddy Orrie and while he was looking for the new warhammer 40k book, I saw the 1001 comics you need to read before you die book. I flipped it open and first thing I saw was the comic "Mouse Guard" so for the past month or so it was floating in my head. I went back the other day and we found some of the collections and I felt for $20 it was worth a shot for the first series of the comic.
I just finished reading it and... I really really liked it.
that's not to say there aren't any problems with it. At times the "epic" moments (like when a mouse takes on a crab with nothing but a fishing hook) seemed to be over to quickly, but that's not what I fell in love with. What drew me in was the art. it really fits the idea beautifully and the mice look like believable mice (with scales and what not seeming right) with the looks just fitting great setting a feeling of epicness at moments when fights happen (as mentioned earlier).
What keeps me hooked is the idea. The idea is mice have expanded borders and no central leadership. So the guard was made to try and protect the mouse villages and commerce between them. they're more then just soldiers, they protect other mice, trying to keep them from harm.
I guess what I'm saying is it's an interesting series so far, and I really enjoy it. I also recommend giving it a flip through if you happen to see it somewhere.
(It's 1:30 am and I couldn't think of anything else to stay up later from now (cause I close tomorrow) so that's why I wrote this lol)
