A special one-shot comic that sets the stage for the next major event. This seems like quite an important one, too, with the enemy holding a lot of the cards and a lot of the power in this story.
The power over time is quite an important one, and it seems that this character has lost his humanity long ago and is making some big and strategic decisions in order to achieve his goal.
There’s a lot to take in here, with some big battles and a great combination of dinosaurs, future tech and the now. The stakes are very high here, and I like how the threat level is immediately ramped up from the beginning of this story.
Belle takes the forefront here, and there are some brilliantly paced aspects, with a clever reason as to why there is no support, and a big build to the ongoing story in the main Grim Fairy Tale comics.
We shall see how this pans out!
