I love anything to do with fairytales, so was very excited to start reading this and it definitely did not disappoint. I loved the story where Mr Grimm controls all of the fairy tale characters enforcing their stories. The storyline actually reminded me a bit of the book Letters To Zell by Camille Griep as that had the same idea of obeying the story-lines but not necessarily wanting to. I also absolutely loved the artists drawing style. I look forward to reading the next volume.
This was a surprise!It came up as a suggestion somewhere and then I had to wait a little bit till I could get my hands on a cheap second-hand copy.If there's something I really don't like in comics is the art gallery at the end of the volume. I mean, it uses up pages that could have been used better by telling the main story. I was really into the story here and then... cliffhanger as big as Texas and ten pages of gallery. Yuck!Apparently the first installment came out in 2008... The second in 2...
ps the inside art is just as great as the cover
This is truly one of the best graphic novels I have ever read! The story was a unique perspective and made you feel for the characters really quickly! I will be reading the second installment for sure.
i wasn't completely sure of what was going on but it was like once upon a time had everyone been aware of them being in a fairytale from the beginning and launched something akin to a political uprising. the story was decent and the art was lovely.
Just read Fables already - it's a lot better, you don't get Peter Pan, and they actually know not to reveal who the big bad is within a couple of panels... It's little wonder this only survived two volumes.
I borrowed this graphic novel from my best friend as she had recently picked it up, read it and loved it, and I have to say I was not disappointed at all. This is a retelling or reimagining of various different fairy tales with some stunning artwork to go alongside. As the reader we follow a story being told by a mother to her son and initially it feels very true to the classic story of Red Riding Hood, but that soon changes...I loved the artwork so much within this book. Not only is it truly ca...
Fairy Quest is such a unique take on the classic fairytales. Basically, the characters are all actors in a world called FableWood that is controlled by Grimm. They have to play their parts or risk getting their memories erased. I really adore the relationship between Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. The artwork is beyond amazing and I can't get enough of it. Can't wait to see what's in store for these characters in the future.
In Fairy Quest, we see a world where all of the fairy tales we know are actually happening under the tyrannical management of Mr. Grimm. Characters are supposed to act out their stories to the letter or face a fairy-tale version of the Gestapo, as Grimm brooks no deviation from the line whatsoever. It could make for a fun story, but honestly, it's all so overblown from the start that it's hard to get into and after a while, you care so little, it becomes hard to follow. The art by Huberto Ramos
6.0/10The idea is nice and the art is not bad, but something is missing. It could be better, still not a bad read.
Great, interesting and thought-provoking combination of familiar fairytales!!! I loved that alternative aspect of Little Red Riding Hood!!! Can't wait for the second part!!!!
I enjoyed reading this comic. The art is beautiful and the story was well told.
In a world where Mr. Grimm controls the story characters' outcomes. Little Red and her pal, Woof, choose to break the rules. In this story the villains are not always the bad guys, just ask Woof (AKA the Big Bad Wolf). Red and Woof travel the lands of Fablewood to find a way to the place that breaks the rules known as the Real World. They travel through Pan's Neverland and Cinderella's realm. All leading them to the unknown parts of the Dark Forest. Can't wait to see more on these characters and...
I was incredibly surprised by how good this book was. Other than Fables, most alternate Fairy Tale books take easy shortcuts to make the stories "shocking" and "modern." This book is different because it is filled with love and respect for the characters. Humberto Ramos's art is perfect for this kind of story, the characters are well developed, and the plot is trnse. It makes me happy to see a book like this one. It is a family title, so feel free to read it to your kids. I know I'll want to rea...
So the characters and plot are great! I like the idea of fairy tale characters revolting against Grimm (their Creator) of following the same stories over and over again. But if Red Riding Hood and the Wolf end up at RealWorld, what happens then? Also, I like how the Wolf’s background story is presented in dreams. That would explain his distrust towards others.
I love when an original concept is taken and thrown on its head and that’s what this graphic novel does with the ideas of the Grimm classic tales. And also Paul Jenkins!
Well played and tastefully drawn, with vibrant colorings and intriguing snippets of favored fairy tales. Would not have minded a slower pace to soak up more from each charater. Next book perhaps.
I have yet to read any story where I like Peter Pan. I really loved the art in this book though. It's gorgeous.
I found myself pleasantly surprised by this graphic novel. To be honest, the depiction of Red Riding Hood is a bit grating, but that aside this is a wonderful look at narrative and individuality.Red and some other residents, including various famous fairy tale characters, have decided that they do not like their prescribed roles a la Brother Grimm. What follows is a quest to find a way out.The book is pretty good, nice action, smart characters, and there are good hints and asides that indicate n...
LOVED the artwork. I liked the overall premise and that these characters are not only not-who-you-think-they-are but they are also forced to carry out their stories - kinda like enslaved actors. Red is courageous and fun, but not much development happens with her. Maybe the next book? The Wolf is simply delightful. It was fun seeing each character and discovering what they are actually like. The pacing was a bit manic, but the artwork was a saving grace for the manic-ness of it all.
