If/Then: If You Like Grimm Then Check Out These Comics!
When it comes to suggesting comics for individuals to check out, it’s often good to start with what they like in other media like television, movies, books, or video games. Enter If/Then, where we’ll throw out suggestions for you to check out!
Returning to television last week was the popular television series Grimm!
Portland detective Nick Burkhardt, descended from a long line of warriors known as Grimms, defends his city from magical creatures known as Wesen, which are part human and part animal. Fighting alongside his partner, Hank, colleague Sergeant Wu and friends Monroe and Rosalee, Nick faces off against internal and external forces, including his police captain, Sean Renard.
If you like the idea of cops fighting demons and stuff like that, here’s some comic series for you to check out!
Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer
/Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer Vol. 2: The Great Puppet Theater/Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer Vol. 3: Of Wood and Blood Part 1 and Part 2 – It’s Buffy… but a puppet…
After seeing Geppetto die at the hands of vampires, Pinocchio swears revenge in this darkly funny graphic novel. As the vampires plot the enslavement of mankind, only a one-puppet army stands in their way. But will a wooden boy and his endless supply of stakes – courtesy of plenty of lies and his elongating nose – be enough to save the day?
If the concept of Pinocchio and friends running around killing vampires doesn’t sound awesome, you probably should read more of this post. The comic series by Van Jensen and Dustin Higgins is so much fun and a great take on this classic character.
Black Magick Volume 1: Awakening, Part One – Rowan Black is a detective with the Portsmouth PD… and a witch, two aspects of her life she has struggled to keep separate. Now someone is targeting Rowan, someone who knows her secrets and means to expose her… or worse.
Written by Greg Rucka with Nicola Scott, Chiara Arena, and Jodi Wynne on art, this series follows a bad-ass female cop.
Grimm Omnibus – I said I was going to try to avoid just suggesting comic versions of the television series, but lets face it, a lot of Grimm fans might not know this exists so it’s worth mentioning.
These original, in-continuity comics written by show creators David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, plus show writers Marc Gaffen and Kyle McVey, the entire 2013-2014 Grimm comic book series is collected in this massive Omnibus Edition, assembled for the first time alongside the “Portland, Wu” one-shot special and “The Warlock” miniseries (by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jai Nitz)!
At 496 pages, that’s a whole lot of comics to enjoy!
