Robyn Hood

Robyn Hood Volume One and Robyn Hood Volume Two: Wanted by Pat Shand, 164 and 151 pages

This is another off shoot of the main Grimm Fairy Tales from Zenescope. It takes the traditional Robin Hood narrative and intertwines it with a modern day twist. Robyn is a young woman who has nothing left to lose when a strange portal opens up and pulls her into an alternate world. There she sees the evilness of King John and unlike in her own life has the power to do something about it. So she joins up with the Merry Men to help free the land.

While this does sort of follow the Robin Hood story line it also has demons and magical weapons, not to mention an orc horde. If you don’t like the intermixing of fantasy with classic tales then this is not for you. I on the other hand found the remix quite intriguing and wonder where this series will go next. It should be mentioned that this graphic novel fit its description and is very graphic. I also has some mature content and themes.
