Damsels 7 is on sale tomorrow (22nd May 2013) . This is the penultimate issue in the first arc of the series.
Get it from your local comic shop, direct from Dynamite Entertainment, or digitally via ComiXology.
And don’t forget that Damsels vol 1 (collecting issues 1-8) is available to pre-order via Amazon.
While the Villeneuve army battle the fairy forces, Rapa, Talia, Red and Heinrich arrive at the Great Oak in the heart of the Enchanted Forest.
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. Delving into the darker side of folklore and fairy tales with a more realistic bent, Damsels could be described as a Disney Princesses’ version of Expendables, but in a way Walt Disney would never let you see.
Confession time: I have never read the original Raise the Dead.
Confession time #2: I didn’t have particularly high hopes for the sequel, both in terms of accessibility and in terms of transcending this basic, simple question — don’t we have enough zombie books on the shelf already?
Well, consider me converted — or, depending on your nomenclature, bitten.
