Interesting collection of back stories of Neverland characters including Tinkerbelle, Croc, Pan and Tiger Lilly. It also includes a preview story from volume 1 of The Dream Eater's Saga. Recommended for not only the stories, but the cool art.

Perhaps because I have not read ALL of the grimm fairy tales series I am mildly confused about what is going on in this one.

I really enjoyed the Tinkerbell story that this started with. I felt like it was a pretty self contained story (with the ending tying into the main series). The others felt like less of stand alone and I struggled as a result.

As always, with this series, the art style was inconsistent and that can be confusing and distracting.

Overall, I enjoyed the art (as always it is very sexualized). I also grabbed onto Hook. So, a review on that will follow once I've completed it.

For some reason this was just not my cup of tea. Still good - granted I adore this series as a whole so I am slightly biased - but not the best. Hopefully as I read more from the Neverland side of things I will appreciate the foundations provided here.

Awesome.

Beautiful, vaguely erotic artwork but the stories portrayed these vicious characters which generally acted cruel without motive - a little too dark and violent for my taste...

Zenescope hold a special place in my heart. And how can you not love some fairy tale retellings?
