Mouse Guard: Winter 1152 1-6

A fun concept with beautiful art by David Petersen, and yet there’s something missing from the stories that keep this from being the must-buy hit that I wish it could be.  Perhaps it’s because as lovely as the art is, the mice are all expressionless, which constantly keeps them at an emotional distance from the reader.  That’s got to be it, because apart from that, the execution is excellent.

This is supposed to be a huge declaration of love.  And yet...I feel nothing.
