Out now is the latest of the ongoing series from Zenescope Entertainment. Here are some thoughts on Grimm Fairy Tales #67

Things look to be moving on quickly in this story. I was wondering if this issue would be all setup, but although the first half was, the action did build nicely and we moved onto the next phase of the story.
We have an imposter in Arcane Acre, and she is looking for something. This knowledge search is interesting as there is something she didn’t know about, which may be the key to her defeat.
How the team didn’t notice the change in Skye is interesting and annoying. Shang seems to have some knowledge at the back of his mind, and now would be a good time for him to remember.
We get a return of an enemy, too, with Skye using this to learn more about the threat of the old god’s return. She also picks up a little help that comes in useful at the end of the issue.
This issue had some good art, with some big spaces being shown. I like the rough pencils of the art, and it fits well with the story. There are some good character expressions too.
This was an enjoyable issue in the end, with some good movement on the larger story, and hopefully, we will get a clearer picture of the arc in the next issue.
