PT Este é talvez um dos volumes menos conseguidos da série, mas mesmo quando está mais fraquinho, continua a ser bastante divertido de ler.
Nos primeiros três capítulos, Gertrudes faz de Dr. Frankenstein e tenta criar vida, o que, como seria de esperar, não vai correr muito bem. Seguem-se duas histórias isoladas que também não são propriamente brilhantes. Ainda assim, a última, em que o autor quebra a quarta parede e envolve as próprias personagens na brincadeira, é particularmente engraçada, precisamente por ser uma abordagem tão única e diferente.

EN This is perhaps one of the weaker volumes in the series, but even when it falls short, it's still a lot of fun to read.
In the first three chapters, Gertrude plays Dr. Frankenstein and attempts to create life, which, as you might expect, doesn't go very well. What follows are two standalone stories that aren't particularly impressive either. Still, the last one, where the author breaks the fourth wall and brings the characters into the joke, is particularly funny precisely because of its unique and unconventional approach.

My favorite out of the most recent volumes of I Hate Fairyland. I wasn't sure after Volume 9 if I would continue on much longer with the series and this one definitely made me want to.
Issues 46-48: ⭐⭐⭐⭐- I highly enjoyed this three issue arc of Gert wanting to create life after reading Frankenstein. It went just the way I thought it would.
Issue 49: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Loved this issue! Gert trying to be a fairy godmother is comedic old.
Issue 50: ⭐⭐⭐⭐- The final issue follows Skottie Young as he tries to come up with an idea of where to take the series from here. I enjoyed the meta jokes in this one quite a bit.
It has been an enjoyable ride following along with this comic series for all these years. I look forward to seeing where Skottie will take Gert, Larry, and the rest of the characters from here.

3.5 ⭐️
Gert has been sidequesting for so long, we can’t even see the main quest anymore.
The first three issues and the fourth were two fun sidequests, but personally I kinda miss the main one.
*Spoiler ahead for issue #50:*
The best one, in my opinion, was actually the last issue, where we see Young struggling to continue Gerts story and where to go from here. The continuous change in genre and subsequent Easter eggs were really fun while also kind of breaking the fourth wall in great way.
I wonder if the series is really taking a break or what is going to happen? If it is, it was a great way of telling.
From here the story could just stop with an open ending or be continued later on perhaps with a more permanent ending like in the original run before it was picked up again.

May 21, 2026Felicissima che Skottie Young abbia fatto un passo indietro e ammesso di non sapere più cosa vuole da questo fumetto. Lo ha fatto in un modo divertente, come al solito, ma molto rispettoso verso i lettori e verso tutto il team che lavora a I hate Fairyland da dieci anni.
Oramai gli ultimi issue erano un po’ caotici e senza un vero scopo, mentre il filo di trama si era perso da tempo. Invece che continuare a scrivere one-shot, mi sembra la scelta più corretta prendere una pausa per ragionare sul futuro del fumetto. ❤️🩹

Review of advance copy
In a very special volume of I Hate Fairyland (#46-50):
Gert reanimates life, becoming a mad-scientist creator...
...while becoming a dandelion seed twisted in the winds of indecision of her own creator
IHF has always been a madcap journey, but ever since Vol. 8: Happy End Game, it has felt slightly more rudderless.
Instead of continuing to build Gert's stories and story arcs towards *something*, the issues had more become a "what staple are we going to parody this month". Do not get me wrong, I personally enjoy this change as it allows the plotlines to be completely unhinged. However, I think one inevitable result of this is exactly the point that Skottie Young is hitting his head against in "Issue 50" of the revival.
I thank him and his team for 10 years of being bonkers, and will keep an eye out for their return.

Gert is more diabolical.
Larry is even less sanguine.
Skottie is highly frenetic.
Derek presents peak bold.
JFB exudes beauty.
Nate is… there.
If this is the end for Gert and Larry, then Skottie gave them a great send off that ends as unexpectedly as their story began.
If this is a mere hiatus, then I will celebrate their eventual triumphant return.
In either case, thank you Skottie Young for 50 issues of the most bizarre entertainment I’ve read in comics.

Review of advance copy
Man, this was a quick read! Still super enjotable, but it definitely flies by. I actually enjoyed the first three issues of the trade the besr since it was a continuous arc. Seems like it’s been awhile since we had a mult-issue arc. Issue 50 was entertaining enough, but it turns out to be a long winded way to announce the book going on hiatus.

Chaos.

A really fun comic book series with some fantastic characters, storylines and artwork. The stories are filled with humour and I am hoping that the series returns after Young pauses it.

Who let Gert read Frankenstein? Young gets meta with his monster design, and then gets even more meta with Gert's very future as magic, hijinks, and chaos rampage across the pages.

Despite occasionally wondering about my judgement reading these I did enjoy the series. If some future year I see more I’ll read them.

October 1, 2026Listen, Gert is my girl, and I'll always read I Hate Fairyland. But I also wouldn't be mad if Skottie Young ended it here.

Many movie tropes covered in this one. Amusing at times. Gross as well.
