Wow, what did I miss? I'm away from the forum for the weekend and a fun new topic pops up!
I too am a fairly newly recruited follower of David Petersen's Mouse Guard. I decided to take the plunge a year or two ago. Not much I can add other than to give my recommendation into picking up this fun and entertaining series.
I thought David was going to be at the recent Long Beach Comic Expo, but I was mistaken and he won't be in town until this autumn at the Long Beach Comic Con. Hoping to get some books signed and maybe a sketch or two.

Yes, great stuff! I went ahead and ordered Autumn 1152 in hardcover and it is on its way. I have yet to get my hands on our new copy of Winter 1152 that I just bought as two of my kids laid claimed to it yesterday and today another one has it. Soemtime this week I should actually be able to read it. But, on looking through it, it is really great stuff.
I'll have to look into buying the side stories as well, esp the stuff that Stan has lended a hand in creating!

I picked up Fall 1152 for my niece for Christmas the other year, but haven't read any of the Mouse Guard books myself. I love David Peterson's art, so I suppose that I should give these books a try. I'm sure I'll enjoy them.
Mouse Guard is one of those series that I've heard nothing but great things about over the years, but have yet to fully check out. Fortunately, I just checked and Comixology has all the series so far available digitally so perhaps it's time I do so.
@Buck, Stan's Rocketeer story (written and drawn by him), I think, was published in IDW's second Rocketeer anthology miniseries, around #3 or #4 if memory serves. It was a wonderful short story.
My recently ordered "Autumn" edition just arrived and is excellent just like the "Winter" book. Quickly has become a favorite of my kiddos right along side Usagi Yojimbo.
Also ordered and sent a copy of "Autumn" out to my 6 year old nephew for his birthday in two weeks. (Already sent him and his brother a number of the UY TPB's for Christmas!)

I just finished reading the newly released Legends of the Mouse Guard Vol.3 #1, featuring stories by Mark Buckingham and Skottie Young. Terrific art and some really good stories (or should I say, tales).
