ettegoom's review against another edition
1.0
I was disappointed by this book actually.
The idea was brilliant and started well, but the execution was frustrating. The gratuitous sexuality of all the female characters was annoying, irrelevant and distracted from the actual story and the destruction of the big bad was a little rushed and not entirely clear. I'll try a few of the other books, but with less anticipation than I approached this one with.
Update... actually, there are too many other good books out there to bother with this series, I got a few out of the library and flicked through them, and put them straight back in the returns box.

Great premise... some interesting art... terrible writing.

Interesting fracture of the well-known tale with plenty of sexified female characters, horror, and blood.

Overall rating is 3 stars.
Art: 3/5. The art was fine for the most part, not outstanding, and, of course, 1 star reduction for the inability to draw women in a nice fashion.
Writing: 3/5. The embellishing and empathizing of every other word is very annoying and just in general the writing didn't flow very well.
Overall story: 4/5. I did love the unique take on Peter Pan and Hook. Definitely the best part.
My biggest problem with this though was that at some parts it was really hard to figure out what was going on. It's like it jumped over a small part and you have to stop and think for a minute to figure out how they got from one panel to the next.
