The Mice Templar #1

From Image Comics in 2007, this opening chapter of "The Prophecy" introduces a world of warrior mice rendered in Michael Avon Oeming's fluid, watercolor-tinged linework — a young mouse stands sword in hand at the forefront, flanked by an archer and a spear-wielding companion, while a great white owl looms behind them and a host of armored mouse soldiers stretches into the mist. Writers Bryan J. L. Glass and Michael Avon Oeming set an epic, mythic tone right from the cover, evoking ancient orders and high-stakes destiny. It's the kind of all-ages fantasy that feels both intimate and genuinely grand.
