I Hate Fairyland Volume 1 Madly Ever After Skottie Young Books

I’ll be honest; I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated a lettering designer before Nate Piekos in this bind-up. I know that sounds awful, but I always get so wrapped up in the story, the art, the coloring, that I get too distracted to pay the proper respect to the lettering. But in I hate Fairyland, Vol. One: Madly Ever After the lettering completely made this graphic novel for me.

I don’t mean to sell the story, art, or coloring short; they are also amazing. This story is whimsical and hilarious, while being bright and dark at the same time. I will put a disclaimer out that this graphic novel is very, very gory, but I think it’s well done and creates and amazing juxtaposition for the world our main protagonist is stuck in.

Gertrude, like many little girls, wishes for a new magical world, but, unlike many little girls, Gertrude gets her wish and falls into Fairyland. Unfortunately, she soon realizes that getting home will not be as easy as she thought.

We then get to see Gertrude twenty-seven years later, but still trapped in her same little girl body since bodies don’t age in Fairyland. Gertrude is now jaded, bitter, and borderline insane with a thirst for vengeance and on a mission to find a key.

Fairyland is amazing and feels like a brand new Alice in Wonderland with a twist. I would completely recommend this to anyone that won’t be bothered by a little blood, guts, and deranged children killing things.

I Hate Fairyland Volume 1 Madly Ever After Skottie Young Books Reviews

I saw this comic in passing at a local book store. I didn't think much of it but out of curiosity I skimmed through it. It drew me in immediately. If your a fan of dark humor or just looking for a lighthearted tale with the occasionally spurt of giblets pick this book up. I've read ALOT of comics and really I cannot think of a comic like this one. It's a parody on classic tales like Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz, but the main character Gertrude gets trapped in Fairyland and wants nothing more than to go back to the real world. Its unique, different and the art is amazing. The drawings remind me of 90's cartoons but the coloring is beautifully vibrant. If this was a TV show it would be on Adult Swim next to Rick & Morty. Actually while I write this Rick & Morty is probably the closest thing I can compare this comic to. It's great just get it!
Okay, first off, Skottie Young is the man! If you love quirky, talented drawn cartoons, he's your guy.
This story is just like Deadpool in the sense that it's vile humor, strange characters, and violence, and violence, and violence, and- Oh, more violence. Haha! It's spectacularly illustrated and the story is so ridiculous and humorous. It pokes so much fun at the original 'children-sucked-into-another-world' fairy tales we all know and grew up with.
Again, spectacularly illustrated and well written. Has tons of re-readable value to it so it's worth the money you spend. I'm already excited for Volume 2. )
I knew nothing about this book going into it aside from the fact that it was written and drawn by Skottie Young. That alone was enough to make me snatch it up. The art in here is some Young's best. Every panel and every page is just oozing with detail and style. The story is no slouch either, it is an uncommon combination of whimsy and hyper-violence. It tells the tale of Gertrude who was transported to Fairyland when she was 8 years old. Upon arriving she is given a quest to find the magic key so she can return home. Jump forward 27 years and Gertrude is still looking for the key and has gone a bit crazy along the way. I'm looking forward to Volume 2.
I've bought all of his single issues and I am obsessed with his artwork. The only problem I have with this trade paperback is that the colors didn't seem as vibrent as they were in the comics which is part of the reason I like the art so much. But regardless this has such amazing illustration and a great story line, I would buy this again without any thought about it and I've recommended it to several people.
I would definitely not let children read this as it's really, really gory. Gertrude is a force to be reckoned with, I mean she fell into fairyland in a horrific way. She is still a child after 27 years but inside she's in her 30's. So, suffice it to say, she's a little bit cranky. She's killing and maiming her way through fairyland to find the key, the key that has been a search of so many years. Makes you wonder if it really exists.

She has her trusty sidekick Larry who was sent with her when she came to fairyland. I love him and his Snark. I love him more than Gertrude!

The Queen hates Gertrude because of all the trouble she is causing and she sends all kinds of things to kill Gertrude. Nope, just nope. And let me say that ending is hilarious, I mean the luck Gertrude has, lol!
I HATE FAIRYLAND is pretty much right my twisted little alley. Gory, full of dark humor, and quite quirky. Essentially Gertrude ends up stuck in Fairland for 30 years.....making her pretty much making her a completely insane sociopath. Fairland still has its dark and light aspects and sometimes the lines become blurred where certain creatures fall.

Young brilliantly created a character that has grown and yet is simultaneously stunted. She doesn't clearly understand actions and consequences. She tends to just DO....and normally that translates into lots of blood and guts.

Although, I was entertained during this volume, I felt it was missing a little bit of depth. I thought on this personal feeling a lot and think it has to do with Gertrude's motivation or lack thereof. I mean, yeah she wants the $*%# out of Fairyland I get it, but there didn't seem to be anything beyond that. I know I admitted that she was a sociopath, but typically even they have their own motivations.

The combination of gore on the cutesy background is twisted, disturbing and I loved this aspect. It really brought the feeling of Fairyland alive in a unique and disturbing way.

I Hate Fairyland, Volume 1 Madly Ever After is brilliantly gory and creative. I really can't wait to see what the next volume has in store for Gert.
