Upcoming furry comics for September 2007 (Previews only)

Lots of stuff this month, though nothing I find really exciting. Take a look at *Mice Templar*. The big furry news at the moment is *Ratatouille*, but there’s only a cine-manga comic in the current issue. And I hope everyone enjoyed AnthroCon!

JUL071921D2 Mice Templar #1 52pg, color $3.99
by Bryan J.l. Glass & Michael Avon Oeming
'For the young mouse Karic, legends of the Mice Templar have merely been fantastic stories to hear and exciting games to play, as he envisions himself as a mythical warrior of old. Yet the Templar were real, and brought about their own destruction in a vicious civil war that left all mouse culture in the grip of brutal rat masters.' First issue looks like a real bargain if it's any good. There are several pages of preview at http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10946 . Not bad, though the mice with their diamond-shaped faces and mustaches may take some getting used to.
