Princeless Tales of the Family Ashe

 While Adrienne is having the adventure of her lifetime, her family is getting pulled into the fray!  Learn what happens to the ethereal Angelica in the aftermath of Adrienne's rescue attempt!  Shudder to learn what horrible fate has befallen Adrienne's next sister, Angoisse!  And learn the rest of the tale of the young King Ashe, ensnared in the trap of the fiendish elves.

It’s not surprising to me at all that we would get some one-shots for the ever popular Princeless title.  The series, in my humble opinion, is one that is more than deserving of extra content.  From the very first issues I got my hands on, it has definitely been one of my favorites in recent months.  With this addition to the collection, Tales of the Family Ashe puts one more notch in the count.

Although short and sweet, this issue manages to squeeze in three separate, yet very entertaining stories of different members of the family.  Each one adds just a little more to the ongoing tale of the royals and all the interesting events happening throughout.  As was proven in this issue, there is certainly no shortage of things going on to provide us plenty more story to look forward to.

With each portion of the book, we are of course treated to the talents of three artists.  Their styles were as varied as the stories themselves, but all gave us really great visuals.  As an added bonus, there were even more artists that provided some nicely done pinups to split up each section.

If you haven’t already gotten on board for this wonderful book, this is actually a pretty good way to dig into it.  Granted, knowing some of the story written prior helps, but is by no stretch necessary to enjoy this one-shot.  So if you’re looking for a new title, this is one I’d more than suggest picking up.  And for those current fans, you’ll have more Ashe family adventures to take in.
