On Wednesday, July 11 through Sunday, July 15, while attending the Comic-Con International 2012 in San Diego, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions. Keep in mind, comic book conventions are crazy loud and crazy busy, so there is a lot of background noise. Let me know in the comments if you have trouble hearing anything and I’ll translate for you.

There are those of us who love talking animal books and those of us who don’t. To people in both camps: I urge you to give David Petersen’s series Mouse Guard a try. Its fantastic adventure, intrigue, and drama will pull in lovers of story while talking animal lovers will have the added bonus of characters that are really flippin’ cute.

Books mentioned in this video:

Cursed Pirate Girl, by Jeremy Bastian Blacksad, by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido Hellboy series, by Mike Mignola Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Graham (illustrations by Arthur Rackham)
