Never heard of the books, but I'm already sold for something involving both animals and aliens. And though it wasn't amazing I enjoyed "Shrek Forever After", so I'll keep my mind open for what Darren Lemke has to offer writing-wise. :3

Other thoughts?

Sounds pretty interesting... The link is broken, though.

Yikes, so it is. It's been replaced now.

Huh, I liked Beasts of Burden, until they finished their first story arc with freakin' Hellboy showing up. Not that I have anything against Xovers, but I think it should be in the afterthough drawer. What ever happened to Mouse Guard, anyhoo?
