New Series Launch!
Grimm Fairy Tales is Back!
The world of humans has forever changed and the Grimm Universe has been shaken to its core. It started with the Age of Darkness and now with the death of Sela Mathers, earth's long time guardian, the Realms of Power have fallen into chaos. But Sela left behind one thing that may be able to save the world...her daughter, Skye. Don't miss this new chapter in Grimm Fairy Tales that takes the series back to its roots.
This new Launch title of Grimm Fairy Tales is really giving Skye something to sink her teeth into by leaping into what the Book expects her to do with her new responsibilities. But at the same time it is a memorial to her mother's deeds and her own obligations as to what is expected of her, with no one coddling her and allowing this trainee to learn from her mistakes. If this overwhelming issue is just an introduction, then what will the future hold in store for this new Guardian of the Nexus? Read Full Review
This is a sensational first issue that has the series reborn with a new hero. Start here and you won't be disappointed. Recommended. Read Full Review
The only thing that concerns me (“concern” may even be too harsh of a word) is with such a tremendous output in this premiere issue, can each subsequent issue be as full-bodied, well-rounded, and as powerfully moving as this one? It seems a Herculean task to keep that momentum and produce a narrative on par with what has been established here, but if anyone is up to the task and can make it happen, it is Brusha. And if he can continue at delivering at a pace like this, and artists Silva and Nunes stay attached to the project, they'll see this volume of GRIMM FAIRY TALES reach additional milestones of achievement.

Detractors of Zenescope may complain that for all the hoopla of the closure of the previous volume there seems to be a lack of ramifications. There may also be some comments about Skye's outfit. In defence of Zenescope, I will say that this is only the first issue of the new volume, so I am grateful that Brusha is trying to keep his (Ouija?) cards close to his chest. As for the outfits, initially I was a little thrown by it to be honest. However, upon reflection, itis not to dissimilar to a certain Amazonian. All in all, I am quietly impressed by the overall standard of Zenescope books, my only wish is that they finally take that next step up in their game and receive more than just a passing glance on the comic book shelf.

If you're just into Zenescope's style, then go for it and grab this new series. If like me, you were hoping they'd grow and turn a new corner" keep hoping, but this ain't it. Grimm Fairy Tales #1 is just more of the mundane, with average writing, lackluster characters and better than average art. If that excites you, then I envy you, because it doesn't excite me.
