The Mice Templar, Volume IV: Legend #8

This Harvey Award-winning series continues its epic anthropomorphic saga with a striking watercolor cover that sets the stakes dramatically high: a massive blue bird of prey plunges talons-first from a fiery crimson sky, while a lone armored mouse warrior stands defiantly below, weapons raised against the overwhelming threat. The fluid, painterly artwork from Glass, Oeming, Santos, and Guerra gives the confrontation an almost mythic weight, perfectly suited to a volume subtitled "Legend." With a perfect 10-out-of-10 from Newsarama, this 2013 Image series clearly earned its devoted following.
