Archaia Entertainment's Archaia Hardcover Anthology

Okay so the only reason you need to pick up this book is the following: Mouse Guard is epic and awesome. Now you know, you're welcome. But it's not just Mouse Guard included in this hardcover collection, again in case you missed it, HARDCOVER collection, no, it's also got a new Farscape story which marks the first time Archaia has ever interpreted the Farscape universe. It's also got a series of new and orginal short stories including Rust, Bolivar, An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will O' The Wasp, and Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Yes you read that last one right, dancing David Bowie Goblin King Labyrinth. Two years ago Archaia produced their first hardcover for Free Comic Book Day and it was a massive hit with everyone lucky enough to get their hands on it, I'm glad they've gone back to it as the average comic fan may grab it just because it's a hardcover, but then they'll be fully immersed into the wonderful worlds Archaia creates, but again, mostly Mouse Guard... Because it's awesome and epic.
