Blue

by Elizabeth Genco, Sami Makkonen (Contributor)

A fresh, fantastic take on the bloodiest of classic fairy tales. When Blue's ex-boyfriend appears on her doorstep, he says he wants to make things right. His true intentions are far more sinister. Blue's shape-shifting powers can help her outrun him, but to survive, she must face him as herself!

An interesting take on an old story.

[Ryan Hall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Blue is an interesting little graphic novella. The basic plot has been told hundreds of times, but the aesthetics this time around are different. It's a little darker, one of those stories where a little bit of hope starts to creep around the corners towards you and then it is swept away. It's not going to change your world, but it's a nice little escape into an urban fairy tale.

Love the illustration style. Love how the author uses a fairy tale as the base of her modern story. Love the shape-shifting element. Love the use of color for the character. Not in love with the plastination element, but whatever.

This book also includes the story "Yes, Mother".
