In this twisted, sometimes erotic, graphic novel series, Sela Mathers (a modern day Snow White) is dealing with the aftermath of The Dream Eater Saga. She overhears an elder telling the story of Jack the Giant Killer to a group of kids. In this tale, Jack’s family is killed by a ruthless king, resulting in Jack giving up his soul to the Dark Hords in exchange for the power to destroy giants. What is shocking about this tale is that it is true.
Sela’s love‘s, Erik, soul has been captured and is now in Limbo. With the help of Druanna, she travels to the Limbo to save Eirk’s soul, but she comes face to face with the realms’ wicked leader Alicia and her deadly assassin, Jack the Giant Killer. Alicia, along with her undead army, has plans for Sela.
Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales Volume 11 consists of six issues: #65 Jack the Giant Killer; #66 The Gates of Limbo; #67 Lost Souls; #68 The Immortals; #69 The Arena; and #70 A Drink and a Tale. This is a modern take on the classic Grimm Fairy Tales with some Greek Mythology thrown into the mix. This comic, or if you want to call it a graphic novel, is not meant for children’s eyes. The costumes and the way the characters are drawn reminds me of the 80s cartoon He-Man: and The Masters of the Universe. The interesting and ongoing plot should keep most fans of the series happy. Grimm Fairy Tales is actually what it should be, dark and violent. Overall, I enjoyed reading this volume and I look forward to reading future issues.
