Prelim Review: I remember how excited I was for this series back when it first premiered. It was during the waning time of my comic book obsession, when I was trying NOT to spend $70 a week, but I knew I had to read this. And I was rewarded with a series that to this day (117 issues and counting) that I enjoy, love and very rarely dislike.

This Deluxe volume covers the First Arc (Rose Red's 'Murder') and the Second Arc (The Farm's revolution). I don't remember the Revolution so much--I may have skipped it actually since I don't like Rose Red that much, but in hindsight...it was disturbing, but rather revealing about later events.

This came out long before the fairy tale shows--Once Upon a Time and Grimm--and I think sets a good standard of what to look for. Willingham doesn't just give us the notables, he gives us all the fairy tale folks who people forgot. Gave them real world concerns (if somewhat skewed) and gave us a taste of what happens 'Ever After'.
