Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea?

Have You Read

Mouse Guard

Fall 1152?

By David Petersen

A Possiblity For Those Hard To Please Young Readers!

As we are slowing down and getting ready for our Holidays Week Vacation... we are still getting emails and other communications from those that either have read our blog posts, or bought from us before. The big question right now on their mind is what to find for a hard to please young reader?

I just finished reading an interesting book, which could be a good fit for a young reader.  The following is my review of the book as entered into the eBay Reviews Section:

I Waited For The Hype To Die Down....

...for the series of comics that this book is actually compiled from.

However, the hype hasn't quit on the comic, and indeed the earliest issues now go for relatively big bucks for a newer comic book!

So I read this book and found that it was likable... and was actually a fun read!

You may like it too if you are okay with mice as being heroes; and if you like LOTR (Lord of the Rings), the Star Wars Trilogy, and the fantasy myths that are currently out there in books and films.

David Petersen did a good job in writing the storyline, and the text for the characters to speak. The artwork is rather stylized, and actually fits the storytelling very well.

A mainstream reader not knowing of the comic book roots to this story, may think it a very good graphic novel. The facts that this was once a comic book series are lightly touched on...

The above review also was given a 4 out of a 5 possible rating for the book. The retail price of the book is $24.95 HC with a book cover and additional items portrayed at the back of the book.

This is a possibility for those readers that are into fantasy realms, either male or female. It was also highly praised in some fanzines and pro-zines including Wizard.

Believe it or not, there are actually several comic books out there that are NOT superhero based comics!

Also, we do not have this copy for sale, nor any of the back issues of the comics....

(Note: A complimentary copy for this review was NOT provided by the publisher.)

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we also have an ongoing 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Convention'  here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store
