Review: Fairy Bitches #1
Raising daughters can be a very interesting journey for a man, as you may have sit through TV shows and characters that you could care less to watch. I have seen shows like Bratz and Strawberry Shortcake, with them until they outgrew it. In fact, I was going through their old DVDs to take to Salvation Army, and ran across a ton of these DVDs, and not one of them the girls would watch now. Both of them read comics, but they also read chapter books, and they even have read some classic literature. So in my mind, they are miles away from this time in their lives.
So when the creator of Fairy Bitches, told our staff about this new series, I was intrigued from the beginning. As he described it, “It’s an adult humor comic….About four fairy sisters exiled from Faerie and making their lives anew.” It sounded like a typical children’s fairytale. That is until you start reading it, and you soon realize it is far from a kids comic. These sisters, come off very much like adults.
Within the first few pages, you are introduced to Alex, Babs. Liv and Morgan, who all have pretty accurate descriptions, all exiled to Faerie, a land where magic exists and everyone hates them. Throughout the comic they cause mayhem and more than few times, almost kill each other. By issue’s end, you will be dying laughing at all their hijinks. Ultimately, what grabs you is the deceptive art comingled with the adult jokes that are sprinkled throughout.
Altogether, a funny and irreverent comic that will have you rolling in the aisles. The story by Erik Valdez and Alanis, is as if Gene Simmons wrote Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The art by Erik Valdez and Alanis would confuse, any parent, but one should be weary, as this is definitely not for kids. Overall, a funny comic, more than worth a look.
