Once upon a time, in a land you only think you know, lived a little girl and her mother . . . or the woman she thought was her mother.
Every day, when the little girl played in her pretty garden, she grew more curious about what lay on the other side of the garden wall . . . a rather enormous garden wall.
And every year, as she grew older, things seemed weirder and weirder, until the day she finally climbed to the top of the wall and looked over into the mines and desert beyond.
The short: Rapunzel’s Revenge is an adventurous, fresh, and uplifting take on the old fairy tale, and it’s one that quietly takes apart some of the more problematic elements common to both the fairy tale and Western genres and makes something better of them.

The short: Tomasi delivers a furious if emotionally uneven issue of ring-slinging, racketing stakes, and alarming consequences.

Hey, I’m heading out on vacation and I’ll be gone through Sunday of this week. I’ve posts queued so there’ll be one review a day through Friday, but if you leave a comment and wonder why it hasn’t been approved yet or why I haven’t replied to you, that’s why. I’ll get to everything when I’m back.
