Well, this is a book that exists. It really isn't my cup of tea. It wasn't bad, but it didn't grab me either. A perfectly "meh" trade of a modernized Little Red Riding Hood as she uses her werewolf powers and fighting skills to battle orcs for the U.S. government while dressed in the least practical uniform imaginable. Seriously, how does she move in that thing?

This started out great, but just really didn't go anywhere.

A really great idea gets a sub-par execution in actually what is one of the more ambitious Zenescope offerings. Lots of cool concepts get short shrift amid all the monster fighting and sexually exploitative artwork. For this company, it seems pretty good, but it never sank its claws into me deep enough for me to care. Ho Hum.

Britney Waters aka. Agent Red is a werewolf that works for the government. In this novel, dark forces are planning to take over the world and in Volume 1 we get and intro into the action and a glimpse of who the major baddy is.I liked the action, girl can kick ass. What I didn't like is that come on guys, no girl is gonna be out there fighting bad guys without a sports-bra; zip-up with nothing underneath would be beyond uncomfortable for fighting crime. That bit of oversight is what dropped this...

I originally skipped A LOT of the Age of Darkness arc ... and to tell the truth I can't remember why. Anyway - there is at least one trade before this one that I need to read to get the full backstory, but overall I really enjoyed this. I wish there was more of Agent Red - I enjoyed her character quite a bit!

Another prequel/setups/lead-in for the Age of Darkness arc. We see Red taking up the responsibility of protecting the Cyclop's Eye, a mysterious artifact that the Dark Horde apparently wants. There's some attempt at character-building and soul-searching for Britney, but they're not impactful, and mostly feels like an afterthought. As usual, you can't really place the chronology of these events. If you've been reading up on Age of Darkness, might as well just check this one out for completion's s...

For a secondary character in the Grimm Universe, this was a surprisingly meaty read. Lots of action and a even a cameo from Robyn Hood. It shows how the Dark Queen got one of the artifacts needed to bring all the realms together in the Age of Darkness story line.

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 3.0 of 5This one almost had me.Little Red Riding Hood...er...Britney Waters, aka Agent Red, works for the government on special assignment with the Realm Knights.  They managed to get their hands on a precious red stone (referred to as the Cyclops Eye), the properties of which they don't fully understand, other than that it potentially holds special powers.  As Red heads off for some training excercises, the government facility c...

Britney Waters(Red Riding Hood) is working for a secret government agency, Hibocorp, which deals with supernatural threats to national security. Along with Robyn Hood and the Realm Knights, she battles to defeat The Dark Horde. Plenty of action and interesting characters. Highly recommended.

This was an interesting graphic novel. I don't read much of comic book but I really want to change that. There are several I have, that I will read in the next couple of months. It's hard giving a rating but overall I enjoy these tale. The mixing between fairy tales, history (Robin Hood) and a para-military organization. The battles between the hot she-wolf red hood are quite interesting. Being a newbie to this graphic novelization and having not read any Grimm Fairy Tales stories before I didn'...

We're Ready for Your Closeup, Agent RedThis book collects issues 1 through 5 of Zenescope's "Code Red - Age of Darkness" series. The author, Pat Shand, was behind the well received "Realm Knights", which was sort of a crossover collection of Zenescope characters, and has also written in the "Robyn Hood" series. The character Red appeared in both of those and this new series seems to be her latest featured appearance."Red" is Grimm's version of Red Riding Hood, and is known as Britney Waters when...

Agent Red (Britney, i.e. Red Riding Hood) gets herself involved in protecting a crystal eye of a cyclops. Of course she ends up in a Code Red situations which involve a team-up with Robyn Hood as well as facing the Dark Horde on a regular basis. Cleese comes through in the end, helping to save the day. Fun, quick developing story that did not give you a chance to catch your breath.

Interesting storyline but nothing great or at least quite as good as others in the story arc. Similarly the graphics were also not quite on par with others. Perhaps i just expected more/too much from this. Still curious to see where story going but dk hope it gets better.Arc from NetGalley

Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this title. I have difficulty in placing these trades in exact chronological order but as far as I can tell this is a direct sequel to "Realm Knights" and though this story is not dependant on that one; it would probably enhance enjoyment to start there. This time only Agent Red Hood and Agent Robyn Hood are called to duty. Brief mention is made of some events from Realm Knights but only one time is it worth Zenescope's infamous use of the asterix reference to the...

I am loving the “Age of Darkness” series. I have read all five volumes of the main story and some of the connecting trades. So, how does “Code Red” stand up to the rest? It is excellent!This story explains what the Cyclops Eye is and how the Dark Horde got their evil hands and claws on it. Britney Waters aka Red Riding Hood is a cool character that can kick butt. Add in Robyn Hood to the mix and this book shines with action and fun story telling.The art work is done by different artist and is so...

I like the blending of the fairy tale elements within a modern setting. The characters are contemporary individuals who have taken on the role of fairy tale heroes, known as Realm Knights. Agent Red is based on Little Red Riding Hood and works for the US government. I like the wolf based elements that surround her throughout the story.But the story didn't thrill me. Agent Red is after a powerful artifact that could destroy the world, yet that part of the story held no interest for me. The villai...

So bad. There is no question this was written and drawn by men. Not only did the women have bodies COMPLETELY out of proportion, but when they changed into were-things, even the were-things had tits. That's not how that works. Also, plot points were not consistent. Red can barely thing in English while running as a partial werewolf, but the were-leopard can speak without any problem? Nothing made sense. The part that angered me the most was the fact that these women kicked ass, but they were so

With all the superhero comics out there it's nice to have something different, that's where Zenescope come in with there modern day fairy tales. This one features Robin Hood fighting orcs, it's pretty damn entertaining. There isn't much depth to this but that's kind of what draws me to it, it's just dumb fun.

I have enjoyed some of the Grimm Fairy Tales, but this one was a miss.As many readers have noted, the illustration style for the Grimm tales is vastly unrealistic, following the pattern of many graphic representations of gender and blatantly sexually objectifying women.Honestly, it's disgusting, but it's not really outside of the norm for comic books and it's something that readers often learn to deal with out of sheer necessity. This novel is particularly bad though, with proportions and outfit...
