My favorite comic right now is Mouse Guard. It's note a superhero comic, it's about mice trying to survive in a medieval society. My favorite character? This guy:
Lieam, one of the most hardcore mice ever. You have to be hardcore when you're a mouse. Otherwise something will eat you. Lieam takes it up a notch in the first issue when he stabs a snake in the brain through the roof of its mouth. Really, though, Lieam is all about the transformation from rookie tenderpaw to legend. It's awesome to see how the character changes, especially in contrast to Saxon and Kenzie, who sometimes seem to operate as two sides of the same character. As events progress he takes on the identity of a legendary guardsmouse, and you get the sense that he's going to do some great things. If there's any comparison I can make to another character it would be to Jon Snow from Song of Ice and Fire except he's less prone to making stupid mistakes by getting emotional. Lieam knows he can't afford to do that. He's a mouse, and one small mistake could make him some fox's dinner. I think that's really what I find so compelling about Mouse Guard. The dangers each and every mouse faces just to survive on a day to day basis just make the tiniest of hopes and dreams seem that much bigger. It's inspirational to me. They're overwhelmed by nature itself and none of them are fatalistic about their futures.
