Grimm Fairy Tales Volume 2

My opinion is that is that this volume is inferior to the first. It was more of the same, yet less satisfying, in more ways than one.

First, the stories themselves. Great pick of classic stories but poor execution. Of them all, only Jack and the Beanstalk and Bluebeard proved on par with the first volume. Snow White and Goldilocks and are very dissimilar tales but they were ended with the same twist, with regards to how the final end came - effects carried over from the fairy tale to the real world. Goldilocks was the worse of the two because aside from the name and the three bears, the link to the fairy tale was weak. The Pied Piper had a very unsatisfactory ending - it doesn't - it just leaves you hanging with regards to their fates.

Given that this is meant to be a “fan service” comic series, I certainly expected them. Unfortunately the artwork was pretty bad throughout; definitely worse than the first volume.

As with the first volume, this one ends with a little more story about Sela Mathers, the woman who appears in each story.
