To my surprise, and rare for this to happen, I found this book: Mouse Guard - Fall 1152 which grabbed my right from the first page. By reading the preface, written by David Petersen himself, he sets up the Mouse Guard universe without much set up. This reminds me of the 30 Days of Night graphic novel and how the mice mise en scène was very easy to follow without a great deal of setup.

For me, I really enjoy a simple stories told incredibily well is more difficult to pull off than a complicated one. Having said that, as I am currently reading Dune for the book group, this universe is very complicated and multi-layered that will throw off many first time fans. I can appreciate the details but it takes great deal of energy and effort to absorb the material; at least it does for me. read more: http://monsterscifishow.wordpress.com/2008/04/16/mouse-guard-fall-1152-graphic-novel-review/ As I was working at my library branch, I went to the children’s department to see if there were any new books for me to read off the desk.

I've found it hard to interest others in it, but those who have read it have fallen in love with it, too. Not only is the story good, but I especially enjoy the art.
