Grimm Fairy Tales 100 and Realm War: Age of Darkness Announcement

Posted on May 2, 2014 by Christopher Cote

Zenescope’s GRIMM FAIRY TALES #100 to herald an Age of Darkness in “Realm War.”

HORSHAM, PA May 2014 — As Zenescope Entertainment closes in on its landmark issue that’s been the heartbeat of the company for almost a decade, fans and retailers noticed the company began labeling many of its popular Grimm Fairy Tales (also known as GFT) titles with the “Age of Darkness” brand. Age of Darkness is a way to tell readers which titles connect, in one way or another, to the universe altering events of Grimm Fairy Tales #100 and the subsequent twelve-issue GFT Realm War “Age of Darkness” series that is set to release right after 100.

Fans can enhance their experience by reading any or all of the Age of Darkness branded titles, yet there are four issues that are important to read in leading up to the anticipated GFT #100. Most of which are currently available for preorder in Diamond Previews May Catalog. The reading order of essential Age of Darkness issues is as follows:

Grimm Fairy Tales 2014 Annual – May 14^th release date
Grimm Fairy Tales Realm Knights Age of Darkness one-shot – July 2^nd release date
Grimm Fairy Tales 2014 Giant Sized Edition – July 2^nd release date
Grimm Fairy Tales #99 – July 2^nd release date
Grimm Fairy Tales #100 – July 16^th release date
GFT Realm War “Age of Darkness” #1 – July 23^rd release date

Grimm Fairy Tales #100 arrives in stores July 16^th and sets the stage for the brand new twelve part Realm War series, which is a direct continuation of the events that occur during issue 100.

“Simply put, Realm War is a twelve issue ‘what if’ extension of Grimm Fairy Tales #100,” says Zenescope Editor-in-Chief and series co-creator, Ralph Tedesco “It’s epic, action-packed, and extremely fun. Hardcore fans and readers who are enjoying the Age of Darkness story arc are going to love this. Yet it begins at a point where new readers can jump on very easily.”

Meanwhile, Zenescope will be forging along with Grimm Fairy Tales #101, set for an August release that will run concurrently to Realm War. But #101 will begin a brand new, separate story arc that Zenescope says will not be a reboot of the franchise, but will definitely be new-reader friendly.

“The new GFT arc will be a great jumping on point for new readers looking to begin the series without any confusion. The events of Grimm Fairy Tales #101 will begin in a different reality than those occurring simultaneously in the Realm War series,” says Tedesco.”And readers can choose to pick up either or both series without feeling like they’ve missed something. But for those who choose to read both, the mystery of the separate story lines will definitely pay off at the end of Realm War.”

“We spent a lot of time on working this all out,” stated Zenescope President and story co-creator Joe Brusha. “The idea with Realm War is to give long-time fans the big payoff they deserve after following this series for nine years. And that’s important to us. Meanwhile with Grimm Fairy Tales #101, we’re able to simultaneously start something both fresh yet familiar that’s easy for new readers to jump into while still appeasing the seasoned fans. With these two series, readers are literally getting the best of both worlds.”

Godstorm: Hercules Payne 1 of 5

For centuries, it was assumed that the Greek and Roman gods of legend were nothing more than myths. However, that is not entirely true. These powerful begins are, in fact, living amongst humanity. Some of them are content with blending in and living alongside humans, while others are plotting for their return to power. A war brews between Zeus—who awakens his demi-god children and shows them how to be heroes—and Venus, who uses her powers to manipulate both gods and men to join her side. This is the story of Hercules Payne… son of Zeus.

Robyn Hood: Legend 1 of 5

Volume 3 of the Robyn Hood Trilogy

Two years ago, Robyn Locksley was taken from her home on Earth into the magical realm of Myst, where she helped a city of oppressed people rebel against their king. There, she befriended Will Scarlet and the Merry Men, who helped her get back home. Her story wasn’t over, though—the King’s closest advisor, Guy of Gisbourne, had an ax to grind with Robyn. By defeating him and subsequently sparing his life, she stole his honor as a knight… so he took it upon himself to reclaim the city of Nottingham in an act of revenge.

However, Gisbourne’s plan backfired. In unleashing a super soldier known as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Gisbourne has created a monster that wants nothing more than to destroy Robyn, Nottingham, and Gisbourne himself. As a result, Robyn’s closest ally, Will Scarlet, has been stabbed to death, Robyn is banished to Earth, unable to save Nottingham and her friends.

Will the girl known as Robyn Hood rise to the challenge and become a legend?
