The final issue of Mouse Guard: The Black Axe #6 goes on sale next week, and it wraps up not only the origin of the legendary Black Axe but a series of pin-ups that run in each issue. #6 features a pin-up by the team of Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart. David Petersen’s fantasy epic starring mice has always been equal parts cute and majestic and Mignola/Stewart have nailed the vibe.
Previous pin-ups are by Alex Sheikman (Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths), Sean Rubin (Redwall, Bolivar), Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), Charles Paul Wilson III (The Stuff of Legend), and Shane-Michael Vidaurri (Iron).
Although this issue wraps up The Black Axe, Mouse Guard will be back in a future storyline.
I liked the first collection, but was very put off that they haven’t released the second in over four years despite it being long since available in hardcover.
So when’s the crossover with The Mice Templar?
