Celebrate 10 Years of Mouse Guard with Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Volume 3

MG: Legends of the Guard Vol. 3 #1 Main

June Alley Inn has hosted many a night replete with stories of courage and adventure. It's a lot of fun to sit back and observe some of the fine anecdotes being bandied about by the inn's patrons. Things get even more exciting when those patrons are mice and their stories are conveyed in David Petersen's Mouse Guard. He's regaled readers with their tales for ten years, which is cause for a celebration in Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Volume 3 from Archaia Entertainment. The four-issue series features new tales and some of the best talent in the business, including Skottie Young, Mark Buckingham, Dustin Nguyen, Ramón K. Pérez, Becky Cloonan, Hannah Christenson, Nicole Gustaffson and more.

“David has created a huge, sprawling world that’s rich with possibilities—and it’s hard to imagine him ever running out of stories to tell,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “So when he opens the sandbox and brings other creators into the world of Mouse Guard, it’s always a celebration and an event. This is one of the biggest volumes of Legends yet, with some of the most talented creators in the industry, all bookended by David’s beautiful artwork and celebrating 10 amazing years of Mouse Guard. We can’t wait to share this with current and future Mouse Guard readers!”

In Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Volume 3 #1, mice of all furs and trades have once again gathered at the June Alley Inn to swap tales of courage, adventure, and craftsmanship over drinks. The storytellers can’t help but try to outdo one another, as the mouse who tells the best tale gets their bar tab cleared. This issue features stories by Young, Buckingham, and Christenson, while the scenes in the Inn connecting them all are by Petersen.

Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Volume 3 #1 arrives in comic shops on March 11th from Archaia in its signature 8" x 8" format with a wraparound main cover by Petersen for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code JAN151140. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years Anniversary incentive cover by Pérez and a retailer incentive cover by Humberto Ramos. The Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers is February 16th.
