Myst's elements and Gaia used to have a direct link for power but now she must use the globe as a conduit and it drains her. Druanna was once known as Gaia, she was gifted her power from a fairy and she would travel between realms especially earth to keep a balance of power between humans and the elements.

I have to say that I really and truly enjoy Zenescope's series Grimm Fairy Tales and and all the various spinoffs (Neverland, Piper, etc). Unless something major happens I will continue to follow this series. My one and only gripe with it is the unnecessary and gratuitous sexuality and objectification of women within the pages. It truly has no place within the story. Now I am by no means a prude but they don't even try to give it purpose. They are no better than the creators over at the bigger publishers (Marvel, DC). This is why this series will never reach the greatness that is Bill Willingham's Fables. Nothing is done without purpose. And he knows that his story is so good that he doesn't need clichéd tropes like massive mammaries and barely there clothing.

Sela, Boulder, and Blake vs Orcus and his army of evil! The battle for the castle city of Tallus begins in this volume! I feel like the action really picked up in this one, and a lot more was revealed about Sela's missing memories too! I really enjoyed reading this and look forward to the next story arc: The Dream Eater Saga!

Plot is getting better, more battles and more cohesive. It's still a lot of fan service though.

Not we reaching the finale and each volume is a fight for survival. Fairy tales re-imagined and with a fair bit of twist thrown in the mix. I love this series.
My dream of being a writer is realized and I am now a Goodreads Author. I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. Doga is one of my most favorite character and I love him to bits and don't leave any chance to devour any of his stories. So here goes again my mission to read as many Raj comics from the beginning. My childhood re-run. I love reading this and more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

getting the zenescope books for the stories is like buying playboy for the articles, nonetheless, i don't notice comic art unless its terrific or as in this case overly sexualized. the character of gaia is nude have the time, but for no reason, and keeping her nude means having leaves, buildings, hands etc. awkwarkly placed so she doesn't appear nude to the reader. comics for twelve year old boys to read in the bathroom.
but the writing is adult, the zenescope world is worth getting into, but this story arc is too bawdy in the art.
