Grimm Tales of Terror, Volume 1

i found this to be overall a good read with very good art. it's just a little hit and miss with some issues being better than others.

when reading several issues consecutively the whole “let me tell you a story about ...” thing became a little cliche and repetitive which they seemed to dial back in volume 2, opting to cut right to a story.

the endings of stories were also sometimes rapidly concluded as if someone realized “crap, last page, alright uhh, this happens”.

nevertheless, i like horror and i like variety. if you want some fun horror stories to read, give this a try. i have the physical copies but its on hoopla, too. maybe just don't expect anything super deep. it's surface level stuff but all of my critiques are not to say i didn't find a lot to enjoy here.

Surprisingly long collection of issues from Zenescope's Grimm Tales of Terror series. This is my first time reading anything from them and it's clear what their MO is. I don't have an issue with fun raunchy horror but I can see this not working as well for others. It's definitely in the same vein as an EC or Warren comic but almost never hits the same level of quality in any of it's arenas. The writing, stories, and art is all very similar across the board, nothing groundbreaking at all.

Would still recommend this to those who enjoy anthology horror but there are plenty of better options out there. Won't stop me from reading the next 2 volumes though.
