I got this from my local comic store on Free Comic Book Day 2018, and I found it… slightly disappointing. If I had gotten into comics a year earlier, I may have found it more interesting, because I like the Image Comics that I've read, but I have mostly been reading newer series, so I didn't recognize many of the allusions (and others I only recognized the series titles).
I think it was mostly "this one wasn't for me."

CONTENT WARNING: LOTS OF BLOOD, GORE AND VIOLENCE! NOT FOR KIDS!
I never thought that this was the Free Comic Book Day Issue I was looking for! This is literally the Deadpool of Image comics. It roasts Image's famous comic books series usually the protagonist of the "I Hate Fairyland" series.
I wasn't interested in reading "I Hate Fairyland", but this has made me slightly interested!
Image definitely put some quality into their FCBD Issue. They've done me proud!

I Hate Image is a brightly colored and super violent tale about Gert, who is on a quest to get into Image Central to see the partners.
This is yet another comic from FCBD that I am just now finally getting around to reading…
I had heard that these comics are graphic… but I was not imagining that it was quite like this… I mean, page two was intense.
From the start, it was clear that there was a level of humor here mixed in with the violence. The panel where they were walking into a "ghost town" made me chuckle.
In this short comic, Gert runs into all sorts of Image Comic characters along her path. Most of these interactions don’t turn out well for the characters as she does whatever she needs to do in order to get what she wants.
My favorite characters that she ran into were, of course, Michonne, Rick, and Carl from The Walking Dead. I thought it was so clever that the overall theme was black and white, just like TWD comics.
Unfortunately, after that scene, I didn’t recognize any of the other characters. This may have been a more interesting read for me if I had…
Full disclosure here, this was the first tale about Gert that I have picked up. I Hate Fairland was on my radar, but I just hadn’t snagged the first volume yet. So I was super excited that I was able to check out this little glimpse into the world.
However, while I really enjoyed some of the humor and breaking the fourth wall, I don’t think this one is for me. I didn’t love the artwork, and I didn’t really care for the main character.
Perhaps one day I will give Volume One a shot… But as for this comic, I’d rate it as just two stars. This just wasn't for me.
