Grimm Fairy Tales #57 is a solid issue that provides both character and story development, setting the stage for what is likely to be a battle of epic proportions between the forces of good and evil for the fate of the fairy tale realm.

The second issue of Myths & Legends follows in the footsteps of the first, displaying the same fantastic illustrations, vibrant colors, and well executed writing as its predecessor, providing a good indication that this spinoff will continue to be a worthwhile read.

Some of our readers may recognize Mike Salva’s name from my review of his short animated feature Back to Life, which screened at the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival in 2009. Now the award-winning Nashville animator is back with his latest project, Pound Dogs.

Last week, Zenescope Entertainment released the second issue in its latest Grimm Fairy Tales spinoff series, Grimm Fairy Tales: Myths & Legends. Before I tell you what I think of issue #2, though, let’s take a look at the series’s first issue, which hit shelves in mid-January of this year.

It’s taken nearly sixty issues, but Sela Mathers finally seems to be developing into a badass protagonist worthy of such a renowned ongoing independent comic book series as Grimm Fairy Tales. As is evident from my reviews of the past few issues of this series, the “Glass Coffin” storyline did a lot to develop my appreciation for Grimm Fairy Tales as a whole.

In honor of the March 22nd release of this final chapter in the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies trilogy, Quirk Books and Bridgeman Art Library invite you to create your own mash-up title and original book cover using a public domain book title and a fine art painting from Bridgeman’s collection.

Grimm Fairy Tales #55 is just as short as any of its predecessors, but the subject matter and illustrations lead me to be a bit more understanding than I otherwise might be (or maybe I’m finally getting used to the series’s pace?).

If you can pick up the TPB volumes of the series then I highly recommend checking it out, and for those of you that have been reading the series on an ongoing basis I can assure you that you’re going to like what this issue has to offer, especially if you’ve acclimated to the amount of the storyline offered in each issue.

ISIS agents Sterling Archer and Lana Kane travel to the Louisiana bayou outside of New Orleans to prevent an eco-terrorist from bombing the United States’ largest natural gas pipeline.

In my opinion there is no better time to discuss the way that Archer constructs its female characters that now, especially in light of this week’s Valentine’s Day holiday; after all, what other holiday promotes thinly veiled sexism and encourages women to exchange sex for pretty things more than this one does?
