I've spoken about my love for the amazing series created by David Petersen, Mouse Guard, before. I couldn't be more excited that this week brings the release of Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Vol. 3 HC. This collection is the reason I started reading Mouse Guard. I fell into the world easily after reading a few tales, and since have become a huge fan. Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Vol. 3 HC features tales written and illustrated by a collection of award-winning and critically acclaimed storytellers personally selected by series creator David Petersen, published by the amazing imprint of BOOM! Studios, Archaia. Once again, patrons at the June Alley Inn are challenged to tell the best Mouse Guard tale, with the winner getting their tab cleared! An array of creators are featured throughout the book including: David Petersen, Mark Buckingham, Skottie Young, Dustin Nguyen, Jake Parker, Ramon K. Perez, Becky Cloonan, and many more!

When I talked with David Petersen at NYCC '15 and asked about the future of Mouse Guard, he said:

"The next major project is called The Weasel War of 1149… I'd say we'll probably go back and forth between doing a book of mine and another Legends book or some other kind of project."

(Read the rest of that interview here.)

The great thing about this series is you don't have to read things in chronological order, so if you haven't read any Mouse Guard books before, this is a good way to start. The preview below features a bit of my favorite story from the collection entitled, The Mouse and the Moon, which is written and illustrated by the ever so talented Skottie Young. Besides that, this is an adventurous collection worthy of a cozy spot on your coffee table. Spread the Mouse Guard adventures with your friends and family. Be sure to pick up your copy this week.
