(W/A David Petersen)
The story gets richer as we're introduced to two new characters - Sadie, an innocent but determined soldier of the Mouse Guard, and Conrad, the peg-legged salty badass in charge of the beach outpost of Cagolero. We learn a little more about the plot against the mouse town of Lockhaven, and we get an awesome mouse-on-crab fight that closes the issue
