My love for Zenescope knows few bounds, and as I crack open the hot new series Grimm Myths & Legends I am so not disappointed. Raven, David, Jason and Jim have built out a stunningly wonderful comic book that simply makes the reader happy as they read through the first installment, “Little Red Riding Hood”. And yes we missed Brittany as she learns that all is not quite as over as she would have hoped it would be. If you are following Grimm Fairy Tales the regular series you will know that the series seemed to split about issue 50. This comic book follows what happens after issue 50 of the regular series, so we get to find our heroines in much more dark tricky situations than we saw in the Grimm Fairy Tales regular set. Creatures from the realm of Myst have escaped into our world. Captured by the evil Baba Yaga for her sinister plans they are about to cause major havoc on earth. And what havoc it looks like is going to happen, making this a quick fast pace read, breathless, excited and wanting more.
Brittany, our hero from the regular series of Grimm Fairy Tales is back, working in a treatment center for adolescents. Little does she know that something from another realm has caught her scent and will stop at nothing to find and destroy her before her true purpose is revealed. The cliff hanger on this one is awesome, so no more spoilers on the story line, but yes this lives up to the expectations that I have of Zenescope, making their stories quick, tight, dense, and even sexy beyond all the fun horror of it all. The art work is impeccable, along with the coloring and lettering making this an easy on the eyes comic book. As always anything Zenescope has the standard high quality bar that makes the entire comic book enjoyable.
Another 5 star rated comic book from Zenescope, along with the standard blood splatters across the room, this one is brilliantly executed. And yes that is a strong buy recommendation on my part, but then I am also a biased huge fan of Zenescope. Take it with a grain of salt, this is not a kids comic book, and falls right into the mature audiences rating.
