I thought this was a very interesting take on the Peter Pan story line. Lots of action, good story telling and it's share of twist and turns. I remember saying out loud "I did not see that coming".

The art work is great, colorful without over doing the blood aspect of the art. I thought it was well written and easy reading made it fly by.

The story is not completely contained in this TPB*, but it's worth a read just the same.

Action packed storyline wherein HIBOCORP sends Nathan Cross and a contingent from the Realm Knights to Neverland to halt the Goblin Queen's bringing her minions into New York via an inter realm portal. Great story and additional tension between Nathan and Wendy and amazing illustrations make this a great read. Very highly recommended.

Pretty good, the art was decent quality though at times still too much fan service. Grimm universe is ok, but rather repetitive at times. Fights with the same enemies, same plots... This is the last one I have, so my several month journey is now at a close!
