Modern Day 2015, a group of unsuspecting women are attacked in their New England home and burned at the stake. The men responsible call themselves the New Crusaders and they are determined to find a woman named Avril Williams, a young witch more powerful than anyone could ever imagine. It's a race against time as Baba Yaga returns in one of the most intense and exciting Grimm Universe titles of 2015!
Overall, the entire creative team have created an exceptional first issue in this short series. It's most definitely deserving of its place in the Grimm series, and if the rest of the series is like this, the earlier prediction of it being the most intense and exciting Grimm Universe title is bound to come to fruition.

At first Coven appears to be another tale of fanatics trying to destroy their enemies, but as you being to understand Dartanian's misgivings and the hope of Baba Yaga trying to save Avril, it becomes something more. Calig's interweaving of the two viewpoints gives the story subtle tinges of reality which makes it all the more stirring for the reader's enjoyment; it makes you yearn for more and curious to know what will happen next!

This is all new to me. I want to know more about the Crusaders, Baba Yaga and her ally, and what's going to be the fallout from this breaking of a truce. An entertaining opening that has me craving more. Read Full Review
Grimm Fairy Tales has a tendency to get a bit bogged down in its main stories as it is so intricately woven together with its different inspirations. This series on the other hand proves that there is a lot of hidden talent at this company, with the creative teams that it puts together to cover different concepts. The result is this series which is a deviation from the usual Grimm Fairy Tales script, but a welcome one as it adds something extra to the universe which hasn't been seen in some time, and manages to do so in an engaging way.

This whole issue is interesting. The story flows with a very consistent fluidity, and keeps us enthralled for most of the time. The issue did, however, go by at a really fast pace. With minimal speech bubbles, and small ones when they appeared, I was able to look at a picture, soak it in, and turn the page, all within about six seconds, give or take. If you don't mind a book that goes by quickly, pick it up! Read Full Review
