Grimm Fairy Tales presents Quest #4 Review

We’re nearing the end of this epic, but should you really care how it turns out? Read on to find out.

The official description from Zenescope:

With the end of their quest just out of reach, our heroes end up in the ravaged town of Vallone… the kingdom over which Aisling once ruled. Even if the fallen princess can survive the ghosts of her past, she still has to contend with the sinister surprise that waits for her, Blake, Bolder, and Druanna at the end of their voyage.

I’ve been enjoying the Age of Darkness thus far, and this particular mini-series is at the center as to why. The creative team have worked within this dynamic to build a compelling yarn that should easily garner the praise of devoted followers and newcomers even as it stumble a bit along the way. In short: it’s a worthwhile comic book that should be on your pull-list.

Pat Shand pens an arc that sees betrayal and death, and that’s just in a few pages so rest assured this is one scribe that wants to send this out a big note. The way he expertly weaves each plot threat kept me enamored as a somewhat predictable outcome came to pass. I write it that way because I was expecting our heroes to lose on some level but I wasn’t prepared for what came on the final page. Fans of the Grimm line of books need to be picking this book up, trust me it’s a quality yarn that deserves attention.

The art by Sergio Osuna is almost as good as the text. The talent does a tremendous job capturing the intricacies of each sequence without sacrificing the underlying mechanisms that allow this entire display to flow. Everything builds to a crescendo as we see the illustrations get a tad bit more chaotic in the end. Combined with a beautiful array of colors done by Francesca Zambon and we’re all in for a thrilling rendition.

Grimm Fairy Tales presents Quest #4 is exactly the quality adventure book I expect to see from this company. Recommended.
