Grimm Fairy Tales: Robyn Hood by Patrick Shand
1.0
Well, that was... Worse than I remember.
The intent was interesting, and I enjoyed the reimagining of certain elements from the classic tale, but all in all it fell very short. Each episode barely held itself together, there were inconsistencies in the details (Robyn mentions she’s been hanging out with The Merry Men for a month in #3 and then says she’s barely known Little John for more than a few days in #4), and love interest Will Scarlet gave me the willies with his ‘my girl’ nonsense. Plus, I just couldn’t get into Watts’ art style, it looks wrong more often than it looks right.
I’ll read on because I have the next graphic novel already, and if I can find them for free I may read more Grimm Fairy Tales, but there are most certainly better retellings out there.
