![]() ![]() He varies the number and layout of the panels on each page - from the usual four panel to full two-page spreads - which adds visual interest and impact to the action. Petersen’s design and artwork are uniformly excellent. Gwendolyn, the leader of the Guard, is strong-willed and wise, and the villain … is villainous. Female Guard Sadie seems unflappable, even when she and crusty old Conrad face off against the aforementioned crabs. Lieam is somewhat impetuous, while his companions Kenzie and Saxon seem more seasoned. ![]() ![]() And, admittedly, they have a wealth of charming facial expressions at their disposal as well. The mice have a tendency to look the same (other than in their colour), so Petersen has taken care to dress or arm them differently, and has gone so far as to give one of them a peg leg. The same goes for the other animals represented: a snake, a passel of fierce crabs. It helps immensely that his mice look like mice - just bipedal, clothed, tool-wielding and intelligent. Petersen does a marvelous job of anthropomorphizing the mice without making them cloying or cutesy. And just so there’s no confusion, Mouse Guard isn’t a nickname or colloquialism - the protagonists really are mice, the small, furry rodent kind. So goes the basic plot of Mouse Guard: Fall 1152, a graphic novel collection of Petersen’s award-winning comic. The year is 1152, treachery is afoot, and the Mouse Guard, defenders of all mice, must suss out the traitor in their midst before the Guard is destroyed. ![]()

![]() ![]() It's a wonder they grow up to be decent people instead hardened horrible people. It literally had me in tears for a little bit. That kids go through things they go through in life at such a young age. ![]() I really liked Kane, I swear between him and Brax they both broke my heart so bad. The whole dare thing never ends good, I thought this was going to be angsty and heartbreaking and while it was a little bit, it was a bit anti-climactic for me.

For the believer, it’s much the same thing, loosely draped in religious trappings: asking God for an extrabiblical sign, claiming a Bible promise out of context, or attaching significance to dreams or “prophetic words.” ![]() For the unbeliever, it’s horoscopes, palm readings, and tarot cards. It’s no wonder the practice of divination stretches back to the earliest days of human history, and it still dogs us today. Like an impatient reader who flips to the last page of a suspenseful novel to relieve the tension, we want a peek into what’s next. ![]() The link between anxiety and not-knowing also shows itself in our craving for knowledge of the future. ![]() ![]() The fact that she envisions them marrying one day does not contribute to her relationship with Mal, and his jealousy is childish and irritating. To begin with, Anne has a crush on her manwhore boss, who views her as nothing more than a back-up plan when his latest flame is unavailable. Mal and Anne's romance is also lackluster. She has zero backbone and this does not improve as the story progresses. She allows every person in her life from her roommate, to her boss, to her younger sister, to Mal walk all over her. While the basic premise involving an arranged relationship between Stage Dive drummer, Mal Ericson, and Ev's former neighbor, Anne Rollins, has potential, Mal's obnoxious and stalkerish behavior is unacceptable. Mal's character in book #1 was particularly appealing, and yet his own story is actually disastrous mainly due to his overblown manic personality as well as the heroine's doormat tendencies. ![]() Unfortunately, this follow-up to Lick is very disappointing. ![]() ![]() charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words."
