Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom.
I love Avengers: Fairy Tales in so many ways, but by far, my favorite thing about the miniseries is Claire Wendling's gorgeous art on the covers.

ETA: Added four assorted pages from the Peter Pan story, because it had my favorite of the art styles.

	I liked Avengers Fairy Tales too. proteus_lives 2009-07-08 06:02 am UTC (link)
	The covers were gorgeous. Plus, Steve as Peter Pan? So much Motto! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The casting choices in this series were frikkin' awesome. If they ever decided to do another set, I'd totally buy, as long as the lady Wendling was still doing the covers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Because I'm totally not a Marvel person -- Who are the characters on the Alice cover? These are gorgeous. ♥ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm not a Marvel person either, but god the covers on this make me want to buy it - is the inside anywhere near as good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Each of the issues has a different inside artist. I wasn't all that sold on the Alice one, but the Peter Pan one was really good. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think that's Tigra as the Cheshire Cat and Cassie Lang (Stature) as Alice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Damn Cheshire Cat looks nothing like Tigra. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I have to admit to not being overly keen on the Wizard of Oz and the Pinocchio stories, but the other two... Wow. The casting and the story telling just makes my heart go to the happy place and never want to leave. The cover art is beautiful for all four of the issues though, and I love the art-nouveau feel of the Peter Pan cover. (Reply to this)

	If you liked Claire Wendling's art, and can read French, I can't recommend enough Les Lumières del'Amalou (http://www.bedetheque.com/serie-184-BD-Lumieres-de-l-Amalou-%28Les%29.html). Very nice little story, gorgeous art. (Reply to this)

	Ph, those are wonderful. And feature clothes that look like clothes! <3! (Reply to this)

	Wow, that's some lovely art. I am amused that a Fairy Tales mini-series contains homages to four stories, none of which a fairy tale. (Well, Pinochio might count.) (Reply to this)

	O Marvel, Please make more comics with that much kinder art style. It would make me so happy. From, Greenmask. (Reply to this)

	Aww. Is that Beast? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	neuhallidae 2009-07-09 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Which one? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	liarashadowsong 2009-07-13 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Steve as Peter Pan. OMG. That alone makes me want to buy this. Can I get them all as a trade, and if so, will the book simply say "Avengers: Fairy Tales" on the cover (which would make it infinitely easier to find in or special order to a store than if there is no trade)? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	neuhallidae 2009-07-13 02:34 am UTC (link)
	X-Men Fairy Tales (which I didn't like much) and Spider-Man Fairy Tales (which is excellent) are both out in trade, but Avengers isn't yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I borrowed Spider-Man Fairy Tales from the local library a few months ago, come to think of it. That was amazingly awesome. Clearly, I must find the Avengers one somewhere, be it library or book store, once there is a trade of it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The Avengers: Fairy Tales trade will be coming out in December of this year. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
