The Mice Templar (Comic Book)	comment	The Mice Templar is a comic book series by Michael Avon Oeming and Bryan J. L. Glass.In a World… populated primarily of rodents, a young mouse named Karic takes fascination in an ancient organization known as the Templar, a group of mice warriors who protected the world from evil forces. With the Templar now long and forgotten, Karic and other mice like him are only able to hear stories about their adventures. But when tragedy strikes Karic's home, Karic soon finds himself in the middle of a large, religious conspiracy and a perilous adventure against the evil forces in the land. And he may or may not discover that the Templars were real after all, and still exist...

Karic is healed/reborn to bring justice to the situation and to pull the Templar there back from the darkness that has consumed them, and it's hinted that Ankara learns of this through a dream and will cross the mountains to reunite with her love.

The Mice Templar (Comic Book) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: The Mice Templar is a series well-known for having dozens upon dozens of shocking revelations almost every other issue. Issue #2: A rat brigade storms Cricket's Glen, burns the town down, and takes all the survivors hostage. During the assault, Master Deishun is killed, Leito has his right arm cut off, and Karic has a near-death experience. Issue #5: Karic and Pilot are confronted by Cassius, and Karic is impaled and seemingly killed by him. Issue #6: Pilot is killed by bats, and we later find out that he was a "Pale-Bellied Grub," not Cassius. Issue #8: Karic and Cassius discover the priests are trying to use Karic for their own personal gain. The mice are forced to escape by force, with Cassius murdering one of the priests in the process. Issue #12: Karic finally finds out how the Templar War began, and how Icarus became King. Issue #15: Pilot the Tall is alive and well, and offers an alliance with King Icarus. Issue #16: Cassius, Karic, and Cassius' group of Templars raid Dealrach Ard-Vale with a Naithair-possessed cat, but arrive too late to save Karic's family from the Serpent God. Pilot is "rescued" by one of Cassius' soldiers, who he immediately kills so he can go find Leito. Issue #17: Karic kills the Serpent God and manages to rescue his family by cutting open the Serpent God's stomach, only to be critically wounded by the Naithair cat. Pilot retrieves the Mark of Kuhl-En after King Icarus loses it, and he escapes with Leito. Dozens of slaves are freed in the confusion. In the epilogue, Icarus disowns Lorelie in favor of Alexis, and she discovers that Icarus and his only-now-mentioned brother destroyed the Templar. Issue #25: The Druid Priests summon Black Anaius to attack Karic while he's in a coma. Although Karic is saved by Wotan, his soul is corrupted by Donas, setting up a foreboding future for the heroes. Issue #30, which is aptly named "History Lesson." We find out even more information about how the Templar War started. More importantly, it's revealed that Kobalt was Icarus' brother, and he had no intention of originally killing him. It’s also revealed Ronan is alive and well, having faked his death to prevent his faction from joining Karic. Issue #31: King Icarus has amassed his army to attack a vital target, which turns out to be the Great Ash Tree. Also Captain Tosk is confronted and subdued by Leito, and then murdered by Pilot. Issue #32: Icarus succeeds in burning down the Great Ash Tree. Seamus and eleven other acolytes escape before the tree is destroyed, but Brother Micah and all of the other Templar priests—both the corrupt and faithful ones—are killed during the assault. Issue #37: Karic falls into a coma again due to Donas corrupting his soul back in Issue 25. The Many possess Karic, and he proceeds to devour everyone in his path. During E'tan's revolution against the Rat Guard, Cedric is captured and held hostage. Issue #38: Karic, still under the Many's influence, reaches the Templars' camp and attacks them. Aquila goes into Karic's mind and manages to rid Donas' influence from his soul before the camp is destroyed. In Dealrach Ard-Vale, Cedric is killed by Commander Grund after he refuses to convince E'tan and his rebels to surrender. Issue #39: The Templars finally reach Dealrach Ard-Vale and begin their assault. As the battle commences, Alexis releases the dozen serpents from the Royal Palace. Issue #40: The Battle of Dealrach Ard-Vale continues, resulting in casualties from both sides. Pilot and Leito sneak into the palace, and Leito finally confronts and subdues Karic, ready to kill him. Issue #41: Leito finally realizes that Pilot lied to him, causing Pilot to flee. He runs into Cassius, and the two mice get into a fight that ends with Cassius injured and Pilot dead. Also Karic finally comes face to face with King Icarus. Issue #42: Karic learns just how tortured Icarus really is (See The Reveal for more) and tries to convince him to surrender, only for the bats to grab him and Karic. The battle on the ground eventually ends with more casualties, but just as everyone celebrates, Black Anaius and Donas possess Karic again and use him to call thousands of wasps to Dealrach Ard-Vale to kill everyone. Karic, with the help of Wotan, manages to destroy Black Anaius and send Donas to the nether realm forever, at the cost of his life.

And he doesn't. Instead, the mouse is turned into a sacrifice, where he's impaled very slowly by a Templar sword. In Volume 4, Captain Tosk tells a group of captives who were freed by a defector rat to club him to death, and in return, they'll be able to run free. After they kill him, Tosk allows them to run free.....through a nursery filled with hundreds of feral baby rats.
