"Gargoyles"
There are bystander reports of "monstrous" winged creatures attacking South Philadelphia residents in the middle of the night and Skye's book summons Skye to investigate the nearby incident. She soon learns that the creatures very well could be gargoyles coming to life at night to terrorize local residents, and she needs to find out how to stop them before more lives are taken.
Some fun character moments add to the enjoyment of a supernatural caper that has an excellent ending. Skye's adventures continue to be fun, with her retaining the sass of a young adult. The visuals are consistent and the lettering is tops. This is an enjoyable read. Read Full Review
While I would have liked to see the stony minions have more screen time, it is unmistakable the main focus of the narrative is to see how mere men are corrupted by power. The petty squabbles between rivals seem frivolous if you have the power to back your threats, but always be wary it comes at a price. Skye must struggle with this balance every day as Guardian, but now to see the cost makes it weigh upon her ever more. I cannot wait to see how this battle will effect her, but in the long run, these minor skirmishes are fruitless once you know the fate of the world literally rests upon your shoulders.

Grimm Fairy Tales #8 is a fun comic that does have room for improvement but overall the team behind it handles their arc well. If you're in the market for a fantasy yarn with a dark sense of humor then what are you waiting for? This release is perfect for you! Read Full Review
So the problems; I have already alluded to the inconsistent character design or look for Skye who is after all, the heroine of the series. The main problem is that this book is basically “monster of the month”. The book really could do with an arc to give Skye some actual weight in her responsibilities in taking up her mothers mantle. Until then, this book will always seem a tad light. Read Full Review
