With the recent purchase ofВ Archaia by BOOM! Studios, readers can only hope BOOM! continues with PetersenвЂ™s superb series and high-quality book editions.

The Mouse GuardВ series is the flagship of ArchaiaВ Publishing, and as far as weвЂ™re concerned David Petersen should be the Jim Lee of any publisher he works with. It also includes all the original cover art, new section-dividing artwork and single-page interpretations of Mouse GuardВ by other artists including Mike Mignola. In addition to the six issue series that the hardcover edition compiles, we also get to see a new 11-page prologue and 4-page epilogue as well as plenty of additional reference material to make this edition worth buying whether or not you read it in individual issues. Where PetersenвЂ™s square-paged style, which has redefined the comic book medium, has previously dazzled, again with Mouse Guard: The Black Axe he similarly dazzles, with pages cloaked in fog, other pages rendered in dark blues of night and stars, and yet others emulating an ancient document style. Early on a raven is brutally attacked by ferret вЂњfishers,вЂќ and the mice must take on a giant red fox. ConradВ drinks too much but he is feisty and tough enough to take the others across the sea.Д«oth heartwarming and heart-wrenching, the darkness of the animal kingdom means deaths of several characters, both goodly and not, and somehow these deaths, despite being necessary for PetersenвЂ™s story, are all the more shocking and tortuous because they are happening to these beautifully rendered animals. Celanawe and Em encounter a complex character in Conrad, whoвЂ™d best be played by Robert Shaw in a parallel world. The villages, shops, and entire realm of Mouse Guard, the mice clothing, the other animals they encounter are all nuanced, layered, and very real. As much as for adults as middle grade readers, new readers of any age will not need any backstory to be completely immersed in this story. Taking place years earlier than the past tales inВ 1115, three unlikely individuals are brought together as a reluctant CelanaweВ learns about a destiny shared by himself and another mouse, the older and wiserВ matriarch Em, shared relative of an ancient bloodline,В whom Celanawe is directed to protect by his own matriarch, Bronwyn.ДЇans of the first books will of course already know CelanaweВ 37 years later is known himself as The Black Axe, and they will enjoy this look at how the blacksmith mouse FarrerВ created the famous axe and how CelanaweВ first encountered it.

Дespite his great earlier work this new legendary tale manages to convey even more emotion, more fear, empathy, and excitement for these little warriors in their elaborate world within our ownВ world. ThatвЂ™s saying a lot considering thisВ third hardcover edition of Mouse GuardВ continues PetersenвЂ™s already brilliant 2008 Eisner Award-winning Mouse Guard : Fall 1152 and Mouse Guard: Winter 1152. In his very best storytelling in the world of Mouse Guard so far, David Petersen takes us through his unique style of beautiful words andВ illustration on an epic adventure in Mouse Guard: The Black Axe, asВ noble mouseВ CelanaweВ (pronounced khel-en-awe) searches forВ a legendary symbol and talisman.
