Anyway, given how easily I was able to read the final issue and understand most of the character relationships and at least some of the major plot elements, I feel reasonably safe in saying that Belle: Beast Hunter succeeds as an introductory series. If youre looking to get into the Grimm Universe or just read a comic about a badass female beast hunter who is strong, sexy, and has real meaningful relationships with other women, all without being subjected to gratuitous over-sexualization, then this is definitely a comic for you.

This series felt unsatisfying in its conclusion. When I read the ultimate chapter of a book or comic series, I don't expect to be given new information while previously established plot points are erased or radically changed. While I understand that Franchini may have done this to set up new adventures for Belle, it has definitely soured me on this final chapter of a series I was enjoying immensely. That said, the art continues to be beautiful and on point. Bold color choices and dynamic action define the feel of this comic and the action sequences in the fight between Belle and her mother are exquisitely rendered. In short, I'm disappointed to write that this issue was a disappointing conclusion to Belle The Beast Hunter. The artwork and story that come before elevate the books final score but I'm afraid I won't be revisiting this issue anytime soon. Read Full Review
