X-Men: Fairy Tales #1 (of 4)

Writer: C.B. Cebulski
Artist: Sana Takeda
Letterer: Dave Sharpe
Production: Tom Valente



Plot: A young man born in a giant peach has a significant power and when the Emperor’s daughter is kidnapped, he is sent on a quest to destroy the demons that have her. While on his journey he comes across an assortment of animals that may help him complete his mission.
 


Review: Marvel should be ashamed of themselves. They put together an X-Book aimed at children justifying it with random lessons in morality about as deep and thought provoking as “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get”. Total crap. The only remotely redeeming feature is a few really well drawn panels. The rest look like someone traced anime characters off of their television set at home. Keep your children away from this book. They could suddenly start ramming their heads against the wall for no apparent reason. And none of us want that.



Special thanks go out to Jeremy Shorr, owner of Titan Comics for allowing us to use his advance preview books for review purposes.
