Not as good as the regular Mouse Guard books, but a very interesting way to handle having other authors write in your world. It was nice to see the different styles and interpretations of the various artists of the Mouse Guard world.

Wonderful, wonderful stories. Especially loved Jeremy Bastian's and Katie Cook's.
Also, more Mouse Guard is always good.

I liked the set up of this book. It's essentially a Canterbury Tales kind of story, where David Petersen is writing the opening bit and connecting pieces and each tale is authored by a different guest author. Some of the guest tales were good and beautifully illustrated, but I found most of them rather unsatisfying. They were either too short or unformed.

The art is beautiful, but the stories are so short! I wanted more. Which I suppose is a good sort of criticism...

I enjoyed this collection of short stories by different collaborators, all set in the world of the Mouse Guard, but I think I'm in the market for another long story about Lieam and his friends now.

Warrior mice! In Medieval mice-world! What more can you ask for??
I didn't realize that this isn't the first in the series when I started it. (It has a "1" on the spine, but turns out it's a companion-type book). Definitely going to check out the main Mouse Guard books now!
This is instead a collection of tales set in the Mouse Guard world, each drawn by a different author, tied together by the narrative frame of a story-telling competition. I know some people dislike when art styles change a lot within a single comic, but I've always loved it! I really enjoy getting to sample different artists' styles.
Great stories, great art, cute but fierce mice!
