Grimm Fairy Tales Universe

[jonpitt]

I'm very, very confident in Robyn Hood (as of the new ongoing #1) and Grimm Fairy Tales (as of #101) being jumping on points that'll keep you reading. I'm really in love with what we're doing in those books, from the art to the characters to the direction they're letting me take the stories.

As an editor, I'm also inclined to push Wonderland as of #26. Erica J. Heflin is a hell of a writer, and I've been working on bringing her onto a title for a long time. It just needed to be the right title, and since what came before her was so great, I knew she was the person who could take that awesome and make it her own.

Thanks! I'm gonna pick these up this week and give'em a try...

I enjoyed the Goddess Inc. run. The cover on issue #5 by Paolo Pantalena is awesome; wish we could see the Greek gods in their true forms battling like that. The final fight was rather quick for a goddess whose power, supposedly, eclipsed the others'. Not to forget that Zeus was majorly depowered, I understand.

GFT #105, I am glad that's over. I am tired of the "I just want to be a normal girl/guy" tropes.

I too really liked the conclusion of Goddess Inc, though the Venus/Zeus showdown confused the hell out of me. It was a bit ridiculous. Still, good series overall.

With the first day of the Zenescope Entertainment 2015 Story Summit over, I thought it’d be a good time to parse some of the news contained within today’s press release for the company’s 10th anniversary.

NEWS WITHIN

* Something I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while is the ROBYN HOOD omnibus. It’s coming out sometime in 2015 (I believe mid) and collects the whole trilogy as well as Robyn Hood vs. Red Riding Hood (one-shot) and Robyn Hood: Age of Darkness. It’s chronological, collecting Larry Watts and my entire pre-ongoing run on the series, and I’m incredibly excited for it.

* All three of my ongoings (Robyn Hood, Grimm Fairy Tales, and Charmed: Season Ten) will continue to publish throughout the year.

* Jeff Massey returns to Oz for a third volume.

* Erica Jeanne Heflin continues as ongoing Wonderland writer.

* More news coming soon.

This year I am going to complete my collection of GFT single issues. I am probably ~100 maybe ~150 away from having every single issue of GFT main ongoings and all side stories and Mini Series. I am gonna do it this year.

Very impressive. There should be close to 500 single issues in the GFT universe. Take advantage of sales as I always find Zenescope books being sold for cheap, 50-75% off cover.

I'm actually doing the "buy every issue" thing with Top Cow comics, only digitally. Haaaaaa.

But on topic: I read Dark Shaman's latest issue last night. Story-wise, it's really good, but none of the characters have anything resembling character. I get that it's only four issues, but everyone is one dimensional. I did like the moment with the lady deputy sacrificing herself so the college kids could escape, though.

I understand what your saying. I read the first issue and the art was good and the story was good but I found it very dry in terms of character. Though I am enjoying the series.

I am excited for this year and Zenescopes 10 issues a month to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. There are 5 ongoings this year including Realm War so I think it will be fun to see some new installments of OZ and Jungle Book. I am hoping to see another book focused around Venus like Goddess Inc. which I thought was amazing. Maybe some new stuff as well. I really like the idea of the little mermaid getting a mini so we will see regarding that. Looks like I will be adding 120+ Zenescope books to my collection this year

I feel like Oz might be the next set of minis to go ongoing if any of them do. I haven't read any of them, though I plan on it eventually, it's just a feeling.
