Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

I read Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 (Hardcover edition) in one sitting. I could not put it down. From the turn of the first page I was hooked. It's about mice, brave little creatures with big enemies. David Petersen's art is beautiful. The characters are unique in their own right and you can quickly attach yourself to them. You care about their cause and are sad when things don't go their way. I thought I was intrigued by the Guard, a organization of elite mice who look out for the rest. The book left me wanting to know more about the Guard and it's history. I highly recommend this book. It is a book for old or new fans of comics. It may also be one of the most perfect books to get someone who isn't into super-heroes into comics. The hardcover edition which I read collects the first 6-issues of Mouse Guard: Fall 1152. There is also 12 pages of bonus sketches. Now I am eagerly waiting to read the next installment in the Mouse Guard world which is supposed to be out in July 07.
