razzatazz's Grimm Fairy Tales #3 - Hansel & Gretel review

    Into the woods

    After the more ambiguous second issue here the series is back to more or less a strong tale of morality.  In this case the story is maybe not as strong as others as it is based on a fairy tale with a simpler message, that being of not to run away from home.  In the original fairy tale this is more of a case of the children being abandoned and being forced to fend for themselves but in this version it is the eponymous characters that decide to run away.  The action is pretty decent, and this is the first combination of a strong morality tale with also the horror element.  It only suffers a little as the message (while still relevant) is not a very deep one.  It also kind of glosses over some very real reasons why children might be compelled to run away from home.
