Mouse guard the black axe
It’s a grandiose mythos and this latest chapter, Mouse Guard: The Black Axe, does not disappoint. That doesn’t stop them from having the same societal issues that plague humanity: civilization comes at a cost and there are always those who are willing to upset any peace or harmony that has been achieved. Life is not easy for these small creatures, but they exhibit exceptional fortitude and courage throughout the series. Mouse Guard is not for the faint of heart though: it has brutal moments of loss to accompany each all-too-short celebration. It’s a fascinating concept that reads like a cross between folk tales, a Greek odyssey, and fables for children.
