I Hate Fairyland Vol. 4: Sadly Never After
In the final volume of I Hate Fairyland by Skottie Young, Gertrude is trapped in Hell, a new Evil has come to destroy Fairyland, and Gert is the only one who can save the realm. Will she agree to battle the villain and save Fairyland? Will she finally get to go home after 40 years? I won’t tell, but I will say that I’m saddened by the fact that the series is over. Young has other commitments and wanted to give Gert the ending he envisioned for her now, rather than let the quality of Fairyland suffer. I can respect that even as I mourn the loss.
This final volume is full of the same great art, wild colors, and graphic gore that I’ve come to expect from Fairyland. When I read the first volume, I remember being both horrified and unable to look away. Fairyland is violent, gross, and oh-so-wrong, and Gert is an absolute menace, but I love her and I love the story.
