This was by far my favorite collection from the Legends of the Guard series.
A better anthology than the other two.
I really enjoyed all of the Legends of the Guard series. It's cool to see all of the different creator's takes on the world of the Mouse Guard. The variety and quality of the stories really show this is world has lot more to explore. I didn't really have any particular favorites but all of the stories were good and while I liked some of the art better than others, it all fit together well, especially within the framework of the series. I really wasn't sure how much I would enjoy stories of talki...
Beyond good. Mouse Guard 1 and 2 set the bar pretty high, and this Canterbury Tales-esque set up, with multiple artists, takes it in an entirely new direction. Absolutely incredible!
When David Petersen created his first Mouse Guard story, Mouse Guard: Fall 1152, I doubt he had any idea what he was actually creating. People have so fallen under this talented story-teller's charms of heroic mice that they basically demanded an opportunity to play with his toys. Thus was conceived the Legends of the Guard. This third volume collects stories some brilliant people working in comics today and will make the reader alternatively laugh and cry. This delightful, simple tales often ha...
Another round of tales to do away with one patron's tab. Again I find myself moved by the conclusions of some stories. Taken as a whole, they are a welcome addition to the Mouse Guard universe. The tales mention bravery, couriosity, hope, leadership, kindness, ingenuity - all noble traits that make this comic fit for all ages.
As always with this series, the art is a bit of a mixed bag, but I think the good outweighs the bad. And the stories go by so quickly it is hard to find fault in them. I still wish there was more work on a continuation of the main Mouse Guard series, since I just love David Petersen's art so much. I always love the various illustrations at the end of these books, the brief legends attached to them, and that they appear in the background of the frame narrative scenes, with the helpful diagram of
I liked the concept. Sometimes the execution felt choppy. I do like the opportunity to see what other artists and writers can do with the world. They have done a good deal of interesting and fun things. If you enjoyed the main series, then this is a fun aside. Canterbury tales, Decameron and just the whole sitting around and telling tall tales by the fire with some drink. Seems fairly universal.
The variant art gallery alone is worth the price of admission. Some of Petersen's most beautiful creations.Also, would love to have a drink at the June Alley Inn. How can we make this happen?
These story nights at June's Inn just keep getting better. I love that so many women artists are included and look forward every time to see which story June chooses the winner. This time, I agreed with her. Sometimes I have a favorite that doesn't even make June's top three, so this agreement feels very satisfactory.
Devoured in a single sitting (like every Mouse Guard volume I own), then carefully savoured by returning to look again at all of the gorgeous imagery and captivatingly unique artistic styles. A feast of creativity that I am grateful to have discovered. Lifelong fan, right here.
This is the third book in which Petersen selects various artists to create stories based in the Mouse Guard world and incorporates them into an evening of storytelling at the inn. The styles vary from story to story, and I find that the ones I like best are the ones most close to Petersen's own style.
Nice collection of stories that worked better together than some of the previous volumes. Plus some decent artwork to boot.
This one was better than the other two, however I still wish the stories could be longer and with more depth.
Same as the last two - cute but not rewarding. The stories simply don't last long enough and the art is all over the place.
Sweet, but not as satisfying as the real deal. It's pretty rich to produce one prequel (an another on the way), four anthologies (counting the FCBD collection), a RPG and to have a movie in the works when you're only two books into the MAIN STORY. Who are you really, David Petersen - George R.R. Martin? IT'S BEEN ALMOST TEN YEARS. GET ON WITH IT.
An excellent companion to the regular Mouse Guard books. It had some of my favorite writers/artists doing their takes on Mouse Guard legends with the connecting storyline well done. If you love graphic novels, Mouse Guard is highly recommended as an easy reading tale that is sure to intrigue older children & adults.
Yet another WONDERFUL entry into the world of Mouse Guard. This is a great collaborative efforts of artists and story tellers paying tribute to David Peterson mouse world. I really love the art and the stories.
Overall, another excellent volume! I think the second volume may be my favorite overall, but there was plenty to enjoy here as well. In particular, I enjoyed the tales about the Watcher statue, the armorsmith, and the very short one about the Guard who showed compassion to a fallen crow.
I really love this series.
