'Mouse Guard' Fan Made Flick Made Me Miss My Old Fancy Rodent

I can't get enough of David Petersen's 'Mouse Guard'. And this fan made video by deviantartist pspynett made me love the series even more (and my fancy mouse), but at the same time, sad, because a film based on the critically-acclaimed medieval action-adventure comic book series -that screams of lush detailed art and extreme cuteness  - has not materialized yet. 

Come on, Hollywood, give us some sword-swinging mice action already!

Latest Comic Book Reviews: Grimm Fairy Tales Dream Eater Saga # 0 (Prologue); Mouse Guard: The Black Axe # 1 & 2

Today I've got my reviews for three fantastic comic book issues: one is the prologue of what could be a good horror comic series from Zenescope Entertainment, and the other two is the prequel of  the critically acclaimed Mouse Guard series from Archaia Publishing.. Hopefully these reviews will help you decide whether or not to spend a single dime on these titles.

Before you click ok the jumpie link down there, let me note that the titles are rated by the number of stars I give them, with 5 stars being the highest. That means if a title gets a rare 5 stars, then that should be really m'effin good! 

Now that we got that out of the way, you can now click on the jump for my reviews.

Comic Book Review: Mouse Guard

Mouse Guard

Written and Illustrated by David Petersen

Published by Archaia Studios Press

An independent comic book about intelligent swashbuckling mice living the medieval era just like real knights if they were human beings. They have they own small mice kingdoms, own towns, cities, and other what nots just like us, only that in their story - there are no human beings. Just mice and other predators that we see in shows like National Geographic and the Discovery Channel.

At first I'm like: Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah because it sounded like a children's story to me, but heck I gave it a try. 

Read Mouse Guard Fall of 1152 (which is the collection of the comic's first 6 issues) in only 30 minutes and damn I was hooked with this amazing story and detailed world of writer/artist David Petersen that focuses on the adventures of the  Mouse Guard - protector of the innocent and lowly mice and valiant defenders of Lockhaven (home of the Guard) - and their struggle to figure out and stop a sinister plot that hopes to bring down their whole kingdom and destroy the legendary Mouse Guards once and for all. Right after that is Mouse Guard Winter of 1152 which is basically the sequel of the first 6 issues and deals with the fallout of the events in the Fall.
