![]() ![]() Petersen's story and art work hand-in-hand in a way that is impressive. But there's a heart in the core of "Mouse Guard," and it makes you care about its characters because they carry such strong emotions on their cute little whiskered faces. ![]() It's fun to see mice use swords and spears to go up against a fox, or ride a rabbit. In many ways, that's part of what makes "Mouse Guard" so good in general. Instead, what readers get are confrontations that are in many ways even harder to go up against ones involving honor, friendship, and duty. What's especially nice about "Mouse Guard: The Black Axe" #6 is that Petersen felt no need to throw any final big monsters to fight, no huge hurdles to leap as Celanawe finally returns home with the fabled Black Axe in his paws. Petersen's comics manage to both thrill on both historical-adventure and fantasy-extravaganza levels, and this one is no exception to that rule. ![]() Happily, it's a comic that was well worth the wait. It's taken a little while, but "Mouse Guard: The Black Axe" #6 brings David Petersen's third "Mouse Guard" mini-series to its conclusion. ![]()
