review:

Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, Volume 2, is a great concept that works beautifully. Guest writers and artists were invited to tell tales within the world of Mouseguard. Instead of having stories and art that would seem strange in the context of the story arc, an unusual framing story is set up.



It seems that many of the mouseguard have been accruing debt in June Alley Inn, so an interesting story contest is proposed. The winner who tells the best tale will have their debt forgiven. This launches into a series of stories told by guest writers and artists. The art varies, but the stories all seem to fit within the world of Mouseguard and it's medieval world of mice, foxes and badgers. There are stories of bravery and fairytales, and even one song.



It's a delightful package and one of the better story collaborations I've ever seen. The art and stories are all top notch. Contributors include Stan Sakai and Bill Willingham among a whole host of others. Very recommended.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this beautiful graphic novel.
