3,5 stars.
Jo Mi-Gyeong's illustrations were amazing! But the story felt so rushed!! This has all the ingredients to be a 5 stars comic book series, but every issue tries to tell so much in so little that you have to fill all the gaps.
Also, neither the illustrations nor the story hold back when portraying gruesome and dark moments, but the dialogue feels a bit too easy and simple.
I wish I could give it a higher rate, because there's so much potential here and what is done good is very good, but the bad... yikes.

Note: I obtained a copy of this book through the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The art is nice to look at, but it doesn't function well for the reader; With how little you learn about the core group of characters in this first TPB I kept getting characters mixed up and it didn't help that their faces looked so similar. There is also a strange tone that might or might not appeal to everyone, like it is going for a fairytale/Rugrats adventure but realized it cast Tommy Pickles with a live wolf and is just rolling with the idea.
Ultimately, it leaves me wary about whether or not I would come back to read more of the series but this is a quick read if you wish to give it a shot
