From superstar writer and artist Skottie Young (Rocket Raccoon, Wizard of OZ, Fortunately, The Milk), comes the first volume of an all-new series of adventure and mayhem.

An Adventure Time/Alice in Wonderland-style epic that smashes its cute little face against grown-up, Tank Girl/Deadpool-esque violent madness. Follow Gert, a forty year old woman stuck in a six year old's body who has been trapped in the magical world of Fairyland for nearly thirty years. Join her and her giant battle-axe on a delightfully blood-soaked journey to see who will survive the girl who HATES FAIRYLAND.

Collecting: I Hate Fairyland 1-5

MY REVIEW

I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinions of the book.

This review MAY contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

This was so freaking awesome! I loved every minute of this. It's hard to pinpoint the feel that this gives off, but I'll try my best to explain it. I Hate Fairyland is like Rat Queens, but with a much younger (looking) protagonist, with the humor and graphic style of a rainbow bombed Ren & Stimpy, all happening in a world that would be much like Adventure Time with Fairy tale and Fantasy creatures instead of candy people. That's a lot to take in, but I assure you that this is a comic series that you will enjoy. 

I loved that the writing was very fluid in this. I couldn't stop turning the pages and I had to know more. The artwork is so freaking beautiful! OMG, this is the artwork of my soul. The style is gorgeous and the content is amazing. If I were a self-centered person, I would boast that Skottie Young pulled this from the depths of my soul and brought it to life. But I'm not, so good job, Skottie! 

A bit of warning though, if you do not like seeing a mad little girl killing every fairytale and fantasy creature that she comes into contact with, then this may not be for you. But if you are as fucked up as I am, then count yourself among the blessed and pick up a copy of this today!
