The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of FAIRY QUEST #1 from Boom! Studios. Paul Jenkins writes, and Humberto Ramos draws.
Things are happening in Fablewood. Some of the fairy tale
characters are starting to get bored with the routine, and Mr. Grimm and his
Think Police are very strict about routine. So when Little Red Riding Hood
takes off with the Big Bad Wolf, the place is in an uproar. The only safe place
is with an old friend out on the outskirts, and how safe that is remains to be
seen.
How can you go wrong with a bad guy group called the “Think
Police”? That alone hooked me into the story. But then came the idea that the
characters might just be actors in their stories, and how dynamic that could
turn out to be. No one is exactly what you expect, and there’s a lot of
potential in that. And Ramos adds his beautiful art to give us a sense of
reality under the fantasy.
Fairy tales and their variations are getting popular right
now, and this is a fun take on it. I find myself regretting that this is only a
two-part run; I’d like to see more.
FAIRY QUEST #1 is available now at your FLCS or by order from
boom-studios.com.
