Grimm Fairy Tales:  Bad Girls #1 was written by Joey Esposito and pencilled by Rafael Lanhellas, Eduardo Garcia, and Marco Cosentino.  This book, which deals with a gathering of the most evil women in the Grimm Universe, will pique your interest for several reasons.

For one, the story can be interesting enough to keep turning the pages, even though it’s a bit cliched in places.  Once I was finished, I wanted to see the next issue just to see how the good guys (sort of) would react from the first issues problems.

I do like the artwork in the story, but some may find it a bit over-the-top with the outfits.  The settings from scene to scene were nicely done and it didnt confuse me about where the story was from moment to moment.

The characters were unique, and it made me want to understand how they do things in the story.  Why were the women pooling their powers?  Who was the woman they were going after? Does she get any help?  Also, the book is women-centered, which is different from the usual men-driven stories.  I can only think of a few books that are driven by strong female characters.

Overall, the book has enough going for it to catch a casual reader’s attention and would be worth a look.

Review for Thief of Thieves #6

Thief of Thieves #6 by writer Nick Spencer and artist Shawn Martinbrough was something that I usually don’t pick up at the comic store.  I often times grab my normals, buy them and call it a day.  Once in a while, I go off the radar and choose one that I take a chance on.  This [...]

Review of Angel and Faith #10

Writer Christos Gage and Artist Chris Samnee work well together in blending the action in the Angel and Faith # 10 story with dark and moody colors.  I had reservations about teaming Angel and Faith together being a Buffy and Angel fan, but they seem to make a dynamite duo.  They mirror each other, whether in [...]

Preview for BRPD:  Hell on Earth #2

I haven’t been a fan of reading Hellboy (but I do like the movie), but I do read some on occasion when I go the comic store.  There’s something about this preview of BRPD:  Hell on Earth #2 that’s intriguing to me.  I like Mike Mignola’s unique art style and the dark mood that’s set from the preview [...]

Review for Near Death # 7

The comic Near Death by Faerber (story) and Guglielmini (artist) # 7 was a nice simple read.  The story was well written and the two made it easy to follow.  It’s nice to be able to read a book that doesnt have someone in a costume but actually have normal humans as the stars.  The art by Guglielmini is [...]

Review for Saga #2

I’ve read the second chapter from Saga and it’s even better than the first one.  I can honestly say that this story has me truly intrigued and freaked out at the same time.  Brian K. Vaughn really has the knack for making this story almost come alive with some different characters that you like to [...]
