This french
comic book was quite an experience. It's medieval folk tales and Shakespearian
plays reshaped into a modern steampunk epic, mixed with some Norse mythology
and drawn with anime-like excessiveness. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous
(Seriously, look it up!) but the story delivers some disappointingly cliché
elements. It tells the story of young Wika who, as a child, survives the
slaughter of her parents Grimm and Titania. As a young adult Wika starts
discovering her fairy powers and begins a journey of revenge, which will lead
her to the evil prince Oberon. The experienced fantasy reader might not be
attracted to the classical tropes used here (lost princess raised as a poor
orphan, etc.) but who knows what twists and turns are left to discover in the
series, it is just getting started, after all. And I would whole heartedly
recommend it based on the artwork alone (Have you googled the artwork yet? Then
do so! What are you waiting for?!).
