review 1: I found this through my public library's website and I had high hopes for it. The main premise is that Marvel has taken common fairy tales and switched out the characters with our favorites from the comic-verse. However, only one of the stories was a fairy tale and there wasn't really anything added to the stories, so they felt pretty dry overall. At first it was kind of fun to try and figure out who everyone was, but that died away after awhile. It may be good for the selected age group but I didn't find it necessary to reread, especially considering _Fables_ and Zenescope's _Grimm_ series.
review 2: Very interesting take on the original fairy tales of Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland. Marvel characters are p... morelaced in the situations of their fairy tale counterparts with some variance in each story. She-Hulk plays the role of Dorothy in Oz, while Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America play the roles of the tinman, the scarecrow, and the cowardly lion respectively. Mary Jane and Spider-man are transposed into the world of Little Red Riding Hood. The other stories are more loosely based on both Marvel and the traditional fairy tales themselves but are very entertaining quick reads. less
