In particular, I enjoyed the approach to port and early tavern scenes Petersen depicted. The story within the comic pushes the art though, as Petersen puts himself in the position to approach new landscapes visually and the results are spellbinding. Perhaps more impressively, Petersen’s most touted gift – his art – is at an all-time best level here, making the wait for this issue feel necessary and even welcome. With that said, this issue ups the ante for both aspects. In fact, while it isn’t the largest category, Petersen is the best animal artist in comics in my mind. Mouse Guard tells classic adventure fantasy stories with an excellent (and familiar) twist as well as a superb sense of character, while bringing some absolutely incredible art as well. Was it worth the wait? Find out after the jump.ĭavid Petersen is one of the many writer-artist hyphenates that has made it big in the past few years, and with good reason. The first issue of The Black Axe took us back to a time before the guard members we know, instead following the deceased Celanawe’s adventure in acquiring the titular weapon. It has been some time since the last issue of The latest mini for David Petersen’s esteemed book Mouse Guard. This long sea voyage gives Em the time to explain to Celanawe about her instance for the journey and how their fates will forever be tied to the Black Axe. There they find a mouse just brave (or crazy) enough to take them across the sea and beyond the record of any map. The new volume of the Eisner Award-winning Mouse Guard series continues! Celanawe, honor-bound by his loyalty to his Guard Matriarch, accompanies Em, his only living relative, to Port Sumac. Written and Illustrated by David Petersen
