When I opened this comic book to begin my review, I can honestly say I didn’t really know what to expect from this second outing.  Would it maintain the quality of the first issue or would it start to falter?  Thankfully it does neither as it forges ahead tilling it’s own ground as the narrative scope of this series matures and expands.

Despite what most fairy tales tell you, men aren’t the only ones who can save the day. And in the upcoming new series Damsels from Dynamite Entertainment, the famous females of fairy tale lore are taking up arms and fighting the fight.

Written by the team of Leah Moore and John Reppion and drawn by newcomer artist Aneke, Damsels sees heroines like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, the Little Mermaid, Snow White and more banding together – or trying to – to find off an evil that threatens all of their homelands and kingdoms.
