I Hate Fairyland #12

A few issues ago, Gert was in a rut, and it felt like I Hate Fairyland was too. In the last three issues, however, Skottie Young has rapidly moved the story forward while also taking it back to its roots. This issue is Young's first full-on homage/parody of a single author/artist. If he can find as much success paying homage to other great writers and artists, then he will be able to keep I Hate Fairyland fresh. Read Full Review

I'll be honest after loving every issue of the first I Hate Fairyland arc I really started to feel the book was loosing a lot of steam. While I enjoyed the second arc it just didn't have that same pop and excitement I found in the first arc. I thought maybe it was a premise that worked wonderfully for mini-series but just didn't have enough to keep the magic the first arc brilliantly showcased alive. Issue #12 definitely changed my mind of thinking for sure! This is one of the best if not the best Fairyland Issues so far. We see Gert on her first mission to become a "good" person in fairyland which has her rescuing a newborn from a clan of Ninj... sorry Samurai Mushrooms. What follows is a action packed homage to Kung-fu and anime with plen ty of bloody action, laugh out loud funny jokes that perfectly hit each beat and the most perfect Gert and Fairyland twist ending I could of ever asked for! This issue is full of what I started reading I hate Fairyland for in the beginning and this is an amazing issue! To me it seems like Skottie has gotten his excitement back for this series and is just having fun writing it again! Overall this is a brilliant tale in Fairyland. more

Some of the jokes beat you over the head but, overall, this issue managed to shake up the status quo enough to recapture the original charm that attracted me to the series.
