Spider-Man: Fairy Tales #1 by C.B. Cebulski, Ricardo Tércio

I love fairy tales, they have such vibrant and colorful stories, sometimes tragic, full of romance, adventure, horror and magic. As I grow up by the Disney films and fairy tales books it was what helped me discovered the magic of reading. That and Harry Potter, hehe. So, I when I came across a Marvel anthology called Spider-Man Fairy-Tales, I had to read it. There's also an Avengers and X-men Fairy tales stories but I will not read them at the moment due to having way TOO much books and comics to read right now. But for now, this will be it.

Basically it's a anthology featuring four stories:

Little Red Riding Hood, Anansi The Spider God, Tsuchigumo the spider spirit,Cinderella

Marvel does a decent job to introduce us to the known and unknown fairy tales and used it to their own stories. I did like Tsuchigumo and Anansi stories a lot, both artistically and story wise while Little Red Riding Hood was kinda... Weak and full of plot holes and Cinderlla was such a waste. I mean, it was quite good! Hack, for a minute I thought this could have been the untold origins of Spider-Knight, the counterpart Peter Parker in Medieval time. (There's tons of spideys in the marvel multiverse if you don't know XDD) Some Manage to keep me interested while others bore me to sleep. The art was good, some were so detailed and used well for the fairy tales theme! :D

I will might check out the other fairy tales series when I get the chance, but hey, it was an interesting take on the fairy tales formula. You should try it out :3
