Grimm Fairy Tales, Vol. 8

Volume 8 features a collection of that's very different from the earlier volumes - rather than being renditions of fairy tales (there's two less well-known fairy tales, I think), it's mostly filled with issues that deal with the build-up for the Dark Horde, back stories, and the clash between the good guys and (multiple) bad guys. It does feature a big finale where a whole bunch of characters get killed off and then a twist that's sort of a game changer. Overall, it's not too bad, but I think the fairy tales is where this series really shines. The overarching plot still feels messy to me.

Art-wise, it's mostly what you'd expect from this series. If you liked them, there's nothing to complain here. If you found them overly gratuitous, you'll find the same here. I just have an issue with one the issues (pun intended), Myst, where the artwork was quite bad compared to the rest.
