Book Review: Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Robyn Hood issues #1

Grimm Fairy Tales Robyn Hood Ongoing #1 (Cover D - Laiso)

Book: Grimm Fairy Tales Present: Robyn Hood issue #1 by Pat Shand with illustrations by Larry Watts with color by Slamet Mujiono

Rating: 5 stars

Review:

In the first issue of this new on going series, Robyn Locksley and Marian Quin are now operating as Private Detectives in Manhattan. Despite Marian still getting used to being on Earth as well as having some difficulties with technology, business seems to be going pretty well for the duo.

This issue opens with Robyn taking down a crooked politician then taking on a case involving a coven of witches. The leader of the coven Sam wanted to hire the duo to look into not only a stalker following one of the members but also a mythical drug that is having a weird side effect on the user.

The case leads Robyn and Marian to a mysterious Priest who is trying to acquire souls. They also walked right into a trap set by the Priest with Sam as the bait. They meet someone who may be a potential ally or enemy.

The writing continues to be good with the Robyn Hood books and Robyn is still as awesome as ever with her wit and humor but also still knowing when it time to kick butt. I like the artwork it's bright and colorful but also very dramatic when it needs to be.

If the rest of the series is as well written as the first issue it looks like this is going to be a good series.
