Fairy Tale Knights

The world we know only in fairy tales may not be as fictional as we thought.  This world is now in peril, as a mysterious force threatens to destroy all they know.  A warrior is called to find out why inhabitants there are dying, and who is behind it all.

The Good

The prelude really caught my interest, and the first full issue did not disappoint either.  The initial story within Fairy Tale Knights 1 starts off strong, and has a lot of potential for those that follow.  I’m still enjoying the style of art that was introduced in the teaser and continue to think it works quite well.

The Bad

I did find myself having some trouble in a certain section absent of words, feeling a little lost as to what exactly was going on.  Also, for those not looking for another rehash of fairy tales, this may not be your cup of tea.

The Summary

Even if you’re not the biggest fan of fairy tale stories, you might still appreciate this twist to the childhood classics.  This first issue seems to be setting up for a lot more good stuff that I’d really like to see.  I personally enjoy seeing different approaches to the world of fairy tales we know so well, and this brings its own great version to the table.
