"I'm not usually a fan of fairy tale stories, but I have a hunch Grimms Town, Candy Creeper, is going to make me change my mind. The story by Neo Edmund is not only great fun, with sparkling dialogue and characters I came to understand and care about right from the very beginning, but it's also sneaks up on you as a solid horror/adventure story as well. I found myself wanting... no... needing to finish reading it in one binge-worthy session. And it certainly doesn't hurt that the art by Renae Deliz is truly amazing. Her characters live and breathe and her ability to create a real world for those characters to live in, immediately draws you into the story. Neo and Renae have done a wonderful job of making me care and if you give Grimms Town a chance I have a hunch it'll do the same for you." -Marv Wolfman<br /><br /><br />
