This book contains all 10 installments of the Edward Scissorhands comic book series with bonus material too.
In this series we have moved forward in time by 2 generations. Kim had a daughter called Milly and a granddaughter called Megs. It's from Meg's point of view that we rediscover Edward, experience the sadness of Eli's demise, the suspense of Phil's kidnap and ultimately the discomfort of the 'fixing' of Edward by the evil Dr Well's.
Kate and Drew are very clear about how this series is not a sequel to Tim Burton's Edward but more a homage to Burton's Edward, who they both clearly adore, in character and visually.
The admiration for the character of Edward and his world is clear. The messages in this series are just as important and powerful as in the original film and the story tugs on the heart strings still but not quite so hard this time.
It's a wonderful fandom world to get lost in, to reminisce within and to enjoy in a lighter, less melancholic way. It's more comical but still black and white. It's still a lesson in friendship but with a happy ending this time.
