Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

This is a cross between a comic book & a children's picture book.  On the one hand if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings or any other fantasy, medieval works this is a title for you. If you are wanting to introduce your children to that type of literary work then this is a great introduction.  Unlike many of the graphic novels put forth by the mainstream publishers like Marvel, DC, Darkhorse & Image this is an all ages title where as you can see that most titles by the others publishers are for teens & up.  Overall I thought this was a great read it reminded me of the Church Mice series by Graham Oakley that my parents read to me as a child.  I did feel that there were some time jumps in which the reader had to infer what happened in between chapters but overall it was still great.  I also kind of wished that the reveal of the traitor had taken longer to figure out, it would have built more suspense for the reader.
