Mice Templar #5
The sacred Readers of the Wheat declare final judgment on Karic's life and his validity to fulfill the Prophecy within the heart of the Great Ash Tree. While Templar rivals Pilot and Cassius each face the ancient vengeance of bats. And Rat Captain Tosk's slave train arrives at the capital city of the mice at last, Dealrach Ard-Vale--the Shining City--where rats, mice & weasels live together in peace... all under the cold and baleful gaze of King Icarus and his court.

You described my experiece with #1 perfectly. I bought #5 today even though I have not gotten through the first 4. I think there is something here but time will tell.

@BrikHed: Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

I tried - I tried. Since I bought #5 this past week I decided to sit down this weekend and read issues 1 through 4 and couldn't even make it all of the way through 4. The art is beautiful and the story is good but it just doesn't capture my interest. If you are a fan of fantasy then this book might be for you. Picture Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars (Luke/Obi Won) and the journey to redemption.

I, for one, love this comic. I love fantasy a lot and I love that is a break away from traditional fantasy.

Still haven't got around to reading the first 4 issues of this but I will still be picking this one up anyways. I have started and stopped reading the first issue so many times that I have lost track and it keeps ending up at the bottom of one of my many stacks. Is this a sign? I really want to like this series cuz I find the art beautiful and I am somewhat drawn to anthropomorphic mice for some reason (i.e. Redwall books by Brian Jacques and Mouse Guard of course). Dig this cover.
