A TALE OF ROT
STANDALONE ONE-SHOT
The Rotter... the man cursed to live forever, as his body continues to decompose. He's roped Robyn and Marian into helping him break the spell, but to do so, they must journey into his past - which might be a bit darker than they bargained for.
If you do make it to the end, get some tissues ready. I will admit that I teared up when I saw that last panel: Nicky and Emma finally reunited after sixty years. It was so touching that you do not expect such a scene to be portrayed in a comic book. But this one magnificently helped to close this excellent issue. Read Full Review
What ends up following is what is by far the best issue in this series thus far. Although there are still a few staples of what has made this series falter at times, they are mostly shuffled to the side as the first truly good story is told in this series, one which focuses on the characters first and the concept second, even when the concept is strong enough as well. It may not have proven itself with just one issue, but the series seems to be on its way, a gamble from Zenescope which seems finally ready to pay off. Read Full Review
This is just another great issue from Robyn Hood. Although we didn't progress with much with the main plot, it was so nice to see some characterization being built-in and to see a more sensitive side with Rotter. Read Full Review
This story is every bit as good as you'll find between the pages of comics published by the 'big two'. Pat Shand continues to thrive as a writer, breathing life into characters you didn't think you could care about. It's a wonderful story that defines how we are limited by the confines of our own moralities. This issue may feel like it's about 'The Rotter', on the surface, but it's every bit an exploration of who Robyn Hood chooses to be. Robyn Hood #12 is a worthy chapter in the on-going series and is highly recommended. Read Full Review
This issue was a great way to move the character and the story along Grimm Fairy Tales fashion. Leaving plenty of room for friendships and enemies. The ending on this one especially caught my eye and left me with a bigger question which I guess hopefully will get answered in the next story arc. I really enjoy ZeneScopes eye for artists as they always supply their books with fresh detailed art and colors that explode off the page. (see train fight scene in this book). Robyn has come a long way in a few short years and like an arrow zipping between her bow, there's no stopping her. Read Full Review
