The Mice Templar, Volume IV: Legend #13

The Harvey Award–winning series The Mice Templar rolls into its thirteenth issue of Volume IV: Legend with a cover that commands attention — a heavily armored mouse warrior dominates the foreground, wielding a spiked flail with a large bat looming ominously overhead, while a glowing-eyed rodent lurks in the shadowy roots below and a lone sword is planted in the earth nearby. The brooding, layered composition from the creative team of Glass, Oeming, Santos, and Guerra captures the series' signature blend of grim mythology and small-scale epic fantasy. If Newsarama's "10 out of 10" praise means anything, 2014 was a very good year to be reading this series.
