This is a quite a nice version of the Little Mermaid. It was really awesome. Love the art work. Keeps characters true to Andersen, but with a few good twists.

Very depressing with gory details still enjoyable considering freebie

It was a fun read. Love the art style. I might pick up the Alice in Wonderland version.

So far so good

I liked it. So far it’s pretty good. Both in artwork and storytelling. I felt bad for the toy man who made the ultimate sacrifice for Aurora. The texts can be a little difficult to read at times but that’s not often (thankfully). I look forward to reading the rest of the comic books.

If you like comic books, check this one out. I think you’ll like it.

Damsels: Mermaids by Matthew Sturges was a good short graphic novel. I loved the story and the illustrations were good as well.

This had two fun quick stories that were bite sized and quick

This had two fun quick stories that were bite sized and quick to the point and does not mess around.

Enjoyed the fresh view and exquisite colour and drawings. Read at least 3 times so far. Absolutely dying to read the whole series. May be the first that I'd want a full comic collection of. Learned of it through my first FREE COMIC BOOK DAY (2013)!

A damsel story and a mermaid story.

The mermaid story is a combination of the little mermaid and the little tin soldier. The damsel story is a fairytale kingdom . Both are good so far.

This is a prequel (#0) to a new comic series. It was pretty cool! Art was amazing and the storyline twisted and gothic. I really enjoyed it!

Good

My first foray into a graphic novel that wasn't romance related. I liked it, it was imaginative and the art was pretty cool. I'd be interested in carrying on the series.

Not that great. I received it free, the illustrations were not bad though.
