Today, out of the blue, my mother found a copy of my Mouse Guard comic book and was reading it.
"This is beautiful" she saids with awe as she flipped though the pages.
I was surprised. It seemed like the same feelings I had when I read my first comic book.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

That scene where the salty old mouse fights the crabs with a fish hook? Awesome.
Seriously, if anyone digs high fantasy, action, or political intrigue, read Mouse Guard.

Is it based off the Mouse Guard in Fables or something completely different?
err, probably different, cause they just rode mice I think, man been a while since I re-read my Fables.
The Guard is responsible for many things in the Mouse Territories. They deliver the mail from settlement to settlement (very dangerous!), maintain the scent border that keeps the really big predators like wolves and bears out of the territories, and escort mice traveling in the wilds among many other responsibilities. They're civilized and are a combination of road warden from Warhammer Fantasy and Jedi.
The main enemies of the mice are the weasels. They're the only other civilized animals (other types of animals are sentient and can communicate but do not build or advance any culture persay like the mice and weasels do). The weasels have warred with the mice in the past and mostly live in tunnels as opposed to the mice settlements built around trees. There are no humans (or cats or rats actually) in the setting. There's also absolutely no magic either.
David Peterson, the creator behind Mouse Guard has a really excellent blog: http://davidpetersen.blogspot.com/
We've talked about the RPG a bit at The Hopeless Gamer (my blog) which you can find here: http://thehopelessgamer.blogspot.com/search/label/Mouse%20Guard
The RPG is basically a companion piece to the comic series and comes highly recommended to buy just for more information about the world of Mouse Guard as a whole. They just announced a new version of it that'll be released soon as a rather amazing looking boxset. This product will be much more RPG-y though and cost a bit more than the hardcover rule book.
I kinda like Mouse Guard if you can't tell.

It's been rather inspirational, especially Volume 2, Winter 1152.
This guard uses hares to get around when they need a ride.
Also, I've been working on a melody for the funeral song in the last chapter of Winter.

My singing needs a little work; I always get really nervous when recording myself. :?
Are there any details (price, release date) for the RPG box set? I didn't pick up the hardcover and now can't find it sub $100.
oh wait you just said that yourself

Been so strained for cash this last year, I could barely get around to buying anything fun these days. But it's going to be much fun to finally get my copy, whenever it arrives.
Mouseguard is so worth owning.
