Dream Eater Saga Vol. 1

Love the art work.

My review is for both books , volume one and two.Is really hard for an author to create a crossover story, to have all the characters in one simple story, first of all. This story was launched in 2011 and end up in early 2012, so there is no Robyn Hood or other ''new'' characters from Grimm Universe in this one. But we have Belinda, Baba Yaga, characters from Wonderland, Neverland, Salem's Daughter, the Piper and others.Dream Eater is a omen that is released to destroy every character in the Grimm Universe, be them good or bad. This abomination takes the look of an old guy , then turns into a giant demon look like and ends up looking like a flying bug. The story is catchy, really fun, but somehow the book failed to cover all the characters, specially in the end. Nobody from Wonderland or Salem's Daughter will ever appear again, besides the chapters that are dedicate to them.Another big minus is the fact that the artwork is keep changing from chapter to chapter which makes the book to look like a ''big one'' with different short stories.Besides that, the book is pretty good.

I buy all my zenescope comics from my local comicbook store. After i read this, i was hooked. This is just the first volume. I also own the second one and i dont think the third has come out yet.I've been chasing down all the other grimm fairytales TPBs. Mostly for two reason, actually 3:The story just sucks you in and keeps the reader on their feetThe art is sexy and vibrant with emotionAnd my favorite part, almost all the books from the grimm fairytale series r arced.There are some secrets and questions that can only be answered from the other books. Always look out for the editor's notes.This series, especially, arcs with all the other series in grimm fairytales. I do not rlly know how to explain this one without spoiling it.. basicly all the characters from zenescopes Grimm Fairytales, whether they be good or bad, are having to fight or rather run for their life against an eminse power that is meant to protect the realm of the humans. I can say that its like nothing i have ever read before.This should be a TPB, meaning ot contains multiple issues of a series in a volume.

Great art work as you should expect from Zenescope (be careful some of the images are not for younger readers), the storyline is pretty good. It incorporates a number of Zenescope characters. Including Pan from Neverland, the Pied Piper, Baba Yaga who seems to be the main character of the first half of the Saga.The Dream Eater is the boogie man for the boogie men. He is a creature of insatiable hunger. It cannot be destroyed; its whole purpose for being is to destroy/eat all the Highborns or Falseborns. I think it was a bit of humour on the artists' part they have the Dream Eater in the form of an old man smashing, destroying and eating the most powerful beings in the Grimm universe.The story is pretty easy to follow. You do not need a great deal of knowledge of the Grimm universe to follow, but it does help slightly. In most cases the characters back story is given in a summary. The only thing that did disappoint me was that fact that none of my favourite characters like Red Riding Hood, or Robyn Hood were in the story, they show a couple of glimpses of Sinbad so that is something to look forward to in the next volume.

Highly recommended to all fans of Grimm Fairy Tales. Artwork is simply stunning and the storyline really good.Ideal for a gift at anytime.

This is a silly book. I ordered it because I had previously enjoyed the Zenescope Wonderland gore/sex/violence titles - they started off well with a completely new take on the original fairytale story. So I was looking forward to a whole saga of the same. Sadly, that's what I got, but in more literal terms than what I'd imagined: The story was poor and the artwork matched; lacklustre, one-note, same-same, filler. There was a slight respite with the reliably abhorrent Queen of Hearts and the Dream Eater's ungodlily-large mouth, but otherwise it just seemed like a lot of gratuitous...silliness.The Dream Eater makes a blip appearance in-between a lot of bloody cleavage, come to eat all supernatural beings, whereby everyone has to join forces in battle against him - but when does this happen? Only two dubious "goodies" (Nexus Guardian and Baba Yaga) come together, otherwise no one joins forces with anyone! Everyone just dies...horribly. Maybe this will all be made clear in Dream Eater Part 7, no doubt with a suitably happy, unhappy ending, but I'm afraid I won't be buying a copy to find out.

i bought that with the Fables in mind and not some easy horror mix comic !sad as the cover and the main idea seemed so promising but maybe i am only spoiled !
