Jan 23, 2020Now we're getting somewhere. The diversion from the trope I was hoping for is beginning to unfold. Taking Hansel and Gretel and effectively making them serial killers makes a nice (albeit creepy) change. I found Matt Smith's interpretation of Greta's artistic style to be reminiscent of that of Quentin Blake, illustrator of many of Roald Dahl's books, which works beautifully, since great many of Dahl's characters were, well, whackadoodle. I also appreciated the name given to the man who took Greta and Hanz in and taught them the delicate art of torture"Tines. Like, on a fork. I mean, what else would you call a dude who lived in a house made of food? Read Full Review

Jan 21, 2020As unpredictable as the structure is, it manages to stay entertaining throughout. The suspense is kept up in this issue and a sense of action and adventure is there too. Ansel’s determination is driving him and the story. The questions are getting bigger and the answers seem to be getting closer. But, this series has subverted my expectations before, will it do it again? Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Cat Wyatt
Jan 23, 2020Folklords #3 fully invested me back into this dark and twisted series. Where before I had merely been curious, now I sincerely can't wait to see what happens next. The creative storytelling style alongside the darker elements has made this a series to follow. And I for one am looking forward to seeing where it goes. Read Full Review

Eh... started out with a great premise but this Hansel and Gretel thing in the middle for just one issue feels out of place.
