The next instalment of the excellent fairy tale soap opera for adults deals with the aftermath of a devastating attack on the hidden enclave of refugees from the realms of myth. Whilst new ruler Prince Charming secures his powerbase and Snow White adapts to life as a mother, nominal leading man Bigby Wolf fades from the continuity only to star in a two chapter flash-back dealing with his exploits during our mundane Second World War.
As usual the writing and art on this exceptional series are beyond reproach, engaging interest, gripping the imagination and twisting the heart-strings by turn. In many ways this is probably the best comic for adults being published today, and the beauty of the Graphic Novel format is that no matter when you become addicted to this – and if you have a soul, you will – the previous volumes will be easy to find and a delight when you get them.
