Grimm Fairy Tales: Robyn Hood
by Patrick Shand
So Robyn Hood (with a Y...ugh) looked stupid to me if I was going to be honest. A half naked chick on the cover in a badass yet sexy pose brought all the "this is why I stopped reading comics for awhile" feeling but overall the series turned out pretty okay.
SO we have Robyn here sent to the modern world as a baby. Growing up with a shitty dad who kicked out her and her sick mother and pushed around in school she grows up alone and annoyed. Then she is chased down by some sick assholes who then rape her and leave her half dead. She then is teleported back to the world she came from, you know mid-evil times, and begins the revolution we all know Robin Hood does to help the poor.
Good: I enjoyed the idea of Robin Hood in modern time. Anything with that worked. I also thought the grim and dark feeling the series had actually worked for it. Some of the deaths are brutal and sets it apart from most other fairy tale type stories. Also, I enjoyed Robyn. She was well done.
Bad: The side characters are completely useless. The villains are so over the top of rapey it's hard to take it serious. I didn't like the middle portion much of her heading back to her time period. It came off dull.
This was fun if not stupid. Funny enough I kind of want to keep going despite the oversexualized art but it's stupid and brutal and fun. So for that a 3 out of 5.
