Belle: Beast Hunter is an absolute joy to read and absorb with literary excellence to lead the way, then reinforced by visual treats of phenomenal illustrations and heartfelt colors of acceptance to brutality. If you have to introduce a new character within a star-filled lineup of fairy tale based titles, then you can do no better than the presentation given to us by Franchini, Dazo and Rodriguez which teeters to being an instant classic for Zenescope. And with little room to improve, I cannot wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds given how they have presented us a tale with little room to go but up. One month seems too long to wait, but you can always spend the time to see if you can find all of the treasures hidden within the pages of this iconic treasure. Read Full Review

Belle: Beast Hunter is like Batman crossed with the B.P.R.D. The title character has a plethora of gadgets and gizmos at her disposal, plus years of training. She'll have to put all of those to the test as a monster-filled conspiracy is beginning to play out around her. This first issue hits the ground running by quickly introducing Belle and her world.

As mentioned above, Zenescope have worked hard to create their cohesive universe, almost plateauing out with their recent books. Now is the time for Zenescope to drive forward, to make hay from having top writers like ChuckDixon providing stories for them. Read Full Review
Over the past few years, there have been a few trends in comics. First, it was the lame duck first issue followed by a magical series, and then there were the first issue wonders that instantly dipped and failed on the second issue. Right now, it seems like we're getting solid first issues that aren't looking to be over the top and thrilling, but instead lay down a foundation that helps the rest of the series. That's what we have here with Belle. It's not that thrilling, it's interesting and leaves you wanting to read the rest of the story. Hopefully, the second issue can build upon the setup here and deliver a remarkable series. Read Full Review
Even though it is quite a departure in the normal provocative fare that I normally expect from Zenescope it is still good. I cant help wondering if this is more aimed at little girls in order to gain a wider more general audience Either way I am hooked, and will definitely check out the second issue when it comes out.
