An anthology of terror awaits in Grimm Fairy Tales: Different Seasons Volume 4. Featuring the Wounded Warriors Special, Robyn Hood vs. Red Riding Hood, and 2012’s Halloween & Holiday issues, the collection follows a marines unit battling zombies, a group of teens telling scary stories at a Halloween party, and a group of thieves shoplifting at a mall after closing during Christmas. The writing’s pretty good, especially at structuring the stories and delivering biting endings. Also, the artwork is quite impressive, particularly the character and creature designs. And a cover gallery of variants is also included. One of the better entries in the series, Grimm Fairy Tales: Different Seasons Volume 4 is an entertaining and wickedly fun graphic novel.

Outstanding collection of writing and art from Zenescope's best. I enjoyed the "Wounded Warriors Special," and the Robyn Hood VS Red Riding Hood "One Shot" rocked. Naturally I loved the creepiness of the 2012 Halloween and Christmas Specials. Very highly recommended.
