Grimm Fairy Tales Reprints Coming

Friday, September 14th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

grimmreprint1picon.jpg

This October Zenescope Entertainment will be reprinting the first three issues of the popular Grimm Fairy Tales series. I think I’ve described the series as a cross between the real gory Grimm tales, and The Twilight Zone. Although things have taken an interesting turn in the most recent issue, the first three issues are really stellar.

To make these reprints stand out, Zenescope will pack the issues with Editor’s Extras, which feature extra artwork, sketches, character designs and new covers.

Take the jump for a preview of the Al Rio cover for issue #1.

Zenescope Entertainment Sneak Peek: Return to Wonderland

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Return to wonderland #1 hits stores today. If you haven’t read the preview issue released a couple of months ago, then you might want to flip through the issue in the stores, or read this sneak peek of issue #2.

Personally, I like the Grimm Fairy Tales stories as they are retellings of the classic tales with a Twilight Zone twist to them. With the exception of one or two of the stories, I think the series is a good one. Return to Wonderland looks to be a really twisted visit to the land of yesteryear - I like it.

Return to Wonderland Sells Out

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

wonderlandpicon.jpg

Zenescope Entertainment sent me one of the collected trades of Grimm Fairy Tales, and I have to say I really like it. From the fantastic covers by Al Rio to the Twilight Zone-ish stories, Zenescope has a hidden gem you really should check out.

Last weekend, the company released Return to Wonderland #0 for a mere 99 cents and it completely sold out at Diamond, prompting Zenescope to order a 2nd printing of the issue.

Everytime I have posted the cover image to the first printing, there are a ton of hits and downloads from those digging on the Al Rio artwork. There is a new cover to the 2nd printing that features a wrap around cover, and it looks awesome. Our servers are prepared for the fan onslaught.

Return to Wonderland follows the story of Calie Liddle, daughter of the now adult and mentally ill Alice, as she journeys to the twisted realm of Wonderland to uncover the mystery behind Wonderland’s origins and her mother’s sickness.

The monthly kicks off June 13th.

Zenescope Entertainment Sneak Peek of the Week

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

picon.jpg

Zenescope slipped Major Spoilers a peek of two titles currently available at your local comic book store. First up is Grimm Fairy Tales #11, telling the tale of Bluebeard. I have the first trade of Grimm Fairy Tales in my “need to review” pile. The art in this series is really good, and I love the Al Rio covers. The stories are not half bad either, somewhat predictable, and light on the gore and violence, but fun none-the-less.

The second preview is of Se7en #3: Sloth. This issue follows John Doe as he claims his third victim - a drug dealer pedophile whom John slowly tortures over many months. This series is slightly more disturbing (see my other Se7en review), and takes a radically different approach to the art style.
