Product Description
In the Winter of 1152, the Mouse Guard face a food and supply shortage threatening the lives of many a mouse through a cold and icy season. Some of the Guard's finest - Saxon, Kenzie, Lieam, and Sadie, led by Celanawe, the legendary Black Axe - traverse the snow-blanketed territories acting as diplomats to improve relations between the mouse cities and the Guard, and find themselves on a race against time to deliver crucial medicines. This is a winter not every Guard may survive... Collects the second Mouse Guard series by Russ Manning Award-winner David Petersen, with an epilogue and bonus content.

Format:Hardcover
This is the second collection of Mouse Guard and you really do need to read the first book Mouse Guard: Autumn 1152 before this one.
The most impressive thing about this series is the artwork. Both the individual issues and the hardback collections are released in this short or wide format - much akin to childrens books rather than the normal comic book format. This is used to allow some beautifully realised full page scenes and stunning wide screen shots. Yes, the artwork is just prefect for the tone, in the current mainstream comic book industry, things are much shaper and colouring done via computer assistance. This looks much more natural which I suppose suits the nature of the story as its main characters are mice.
It is easy to compare this to Brian Jacques' Redwall series, after all it is about warrior mice, but the world is quite different.
Story wise this continues on from Fall 1152, it continues to develop the characters and the long standing story arc, although each series does seem to deal with a complete story.
This is a tale of adventure, bravery, treacher, comradely and mouse politics! While not as strong as the first book, if you liked that, you'll continue to like this.

Format:Hardcover
Mouseguard by David Petersen is something ive been addicted to drawing since i bought the first in the series, his style of story telling and visual story telling are second to none and if you ever get a chance to flick though this book, you will fall in love as i did with it.
Format:Hardcover
taking what was already a fantastic story and expanding on it, the Winter of 1152 takes the epicness and unbelievable Brilliance of David Petersen's Mouse Guard to a whole new level. The art again, is simply epic and stunning, and the plot this time round unleashes some marvellous vistas on you, as well as some...real, real, eye opening sequences. The Owl scene is worth the price alone - so multiply that by, oh i don't know, a factor of a thousand. A truly sublime piece of fiction that defies any presumption you have. Read.

I love the Mouseguard series, so much so that I had this on pre order for over 12 months as David Petersen delayed production (well maybe it was the publishers). Read more
