Typically, I am a superhero guy. Capes and tights are where I’m at. Occasionally, I’ll delve into what I call the grittier stuff; like Scarlet and Coward. Aside from that, the dirtiest I tend to get is a rusty bench in Gotham’s East End . Never would I think to touch some dainty fairytale crap, right? I had my fill of that from Disney movies growing up. But Grimm’s Fairytales, Neverland: Hook is anything but dainty.
On a normal day, the average person would tell you that Peter Pan is the hero of Neverland, ever destined to battle the despicable and vile Cpt. Hook. GFNH puts a spin on that. From what I’ve deducted from issues #1-2, Captain Hook, Nate, is the hero of this tale and Peter Pan is a villainous being of pure evil. How many people just said “what the hell”? For I know I did when I started reading GFNH. As if that weren’t wild enough, Nate (Hook) has a transmutable metal hand that often takes the shape of a hook, but also has the potential to shift into a cannon that bares a close resemblance to Megaman’s Megabuster. I found the art of the panels somewhat lacking for my taste and juxtaposition seemed disconnected at times (which could also be a script issue). But the story and premise itself were more than enough to keep me reading and yearning for more.
I must mention though, there was some serious T&A action on the cover, yet next to none of it within the book, save Tinkerbelle. This is a good thing, though when touring Zenescope’s site I noticed a correlation between the covers of their products… Let’s just say if your internet drops out for a bit, you’ll be okay if you get a few of their books. Stay frosty out there guys. Grimm Fairytales, Neverland:Hook gets a 3 out of 5.
