Skottie Young's gorgeously-drawn and cleverly-written comic series I Hate Fairyland continues in Volume 3: Good Girl.Gert is still desperately trying to get home and kill as many cute and fuzzy things as possible while she does so.But first, she wants to meet her favorite marauding hero, Gwag, a hard-core barbarian at Dungeon Festexpocon!"This line is ridiculous. Why in the world would anyone want to spend all their time, energy, and money to attend Dungeon Festexpocon just to wait in lines the
Another fun read, though they definitely need to find a new plotline beyond the Gert wants to go home.Skottie Youngs visuals continue to impress, and the Larry-centric episode is among the best of the series.And the last panel of the last issue got me really excited for the next arc.
7.5/10 My favourite vol so far. I enjoyed the individual stories of each issue a lot. The difference with the first two books is that Gert is trying to grow as a person and be nice. She is not the best at it as you might imagine, which makes the whole thing funnier. We also get to see how Larry's life would turn out if he never met Gert.P.s. I love the cover for issue 12
Nice twist at the end of this volume. Should be good for another volume but this will soon "jump the shark" for me.Color and art is fun, but there is no longer any charm in the illustrations, attitude or language of "Bad Gertie" for meThe Seasonal Reading Challenge Spring 2018 Task 5.4 - Avanos Hair MuseumI Hate Fairyland, Vol. 3: Good Girl has human hair visible on the cover.
Gertie’s still stuck in Fairyland looking for a way out. Could she finally escape if the murderous lil’ psychopath does the unthinkable: become a… Good Girl??? Like the second volume, the third I Hate Fairyland book is just ok. The “Gertie getting home” storyline is definitely feeling stale at this point and her attempts at being “good” aren’t that interesting. She goes to a fantasy con and meets her biggest fan, fights shiitake mushroom samurais, and goes up against a Jareth from Labyrinth past...
4.5Artwork amazing as always.Story makes me wonder - again - about the shrooms Skottie Young seems to digest/inhale :'DNot my fave volume tho.
I read this despite the heavy drop in quality between volumes 1 and 2. Why? Because some people I know read it and said it got good again. And did it? Yes and no.Yes, this was a bit more entertaining than the last.No, it was still nowhere near as good as the first and we got some repetitions (or that is what it felt like for me - stuff to drag it out).I don't know. Maybe it's because this sort of story was never made to be stretched out over so many volumes. Maybe this can only last for a short
This series is PHENOMENAL. Omg. I’m obsessed.
Gert is the loveliest, most beautifully, murderously deranged (and derangedly murderous) forty year old woman in a six year old's body that ever was and ever will be. And that, my Little Barnacles, is a scientifically proven fact. Because I said so and stuff.Also, she's got the coolest hero ever.Also also, she's a bloody shrimping ninja. Sorry, I meant samurai. Then again maybe not. Opinions seems to differ as to Slightly Homicidal Gert's status these days. But the fact remains, a delightfully d...
This book was just as hilarious as the first two volumes. I can't go into detail, but I can say that Gert is just as funny as she has been and that we get introduced to a crazy plot line involving some crazy characters. The artwork was just as amazing and vibrant as before and I genuinely cannot wait to get my hands on the fourth volume. And can I just say I feel so bad for Larry haha he went through so much in this volume.
I am still loving this series and I can officially say i'm obsessed with it! Gert falls into fairyland as a child, and is unable to find her key to get out and over 30 years later she's still stuck in fairyland and is mad as fluff! It's violent, it's gory, it's hilarious, and it's so not for kids despite the candy-like colors! Gert just wants OUT of fluffing fairyland and her guide Larry, a fly, is pretty fed up too. Though I loved getting to see more into his thoughts as well!I love sassy Gert
Remember how I said volume 2 is not as good as the first volume? I still think that but this is AT LEAST as good as the first volume!What’s it about?Gert realizes something that she should have noticed a long time ago. Being a sadist slashing the fluff out of everything doesn’t work. She decides that perhaps she’ll become a good girl and that will get her home.Why it gets 5 stars:The story is quite interesting. Seeing a previously vicious character try to make the sudden change to squeaky clean
Good Gertrude? Run for your lives! Gertrude has tried to be bad, reaaaaaaaaaallyyyyyyy baaaaaaaad, trying to find a way to come back to her real life and escaping from Fairyland......so, if bad isn't working......well, let's try to be good!Have mercy of us!Since after all, it's Gertrude, so even being honestly good......karma is a bitch and Gertrude has A LOT of karma to pay for!
When Bowie as Jareth shows up in a graphic novel series you are binge reading, it’s immediately a 5star read. Loving Gertrude and her badass, ruthless, sassy self. The pop culture references and the throwback nods are amazing!
Surprise, this series is growing on me. I enjoyed this one. I think it has to do with the ending when Gertrude turns good and she finishes her quest and gets the key to go home. She ends up somewhere different - a cliff hanger - you have to read it. I can't believe they left us hanging like that. Tears.The first part of the book Gertrude is trying to complete a quest to be good to make up for the bad she has done by getting to the center of a labyrinth and find the balls. There is still blood an...
Introduction: So, after I finished reading “I Hate Fairyland Volume Two: Fluff My Life,” I just had to read the third volume of Skottie Young’s hilarious “I Hate Fairyland” series called “Good Girl” and I was curious about why the cover was showing a HAPPY, CUTE EYED Gertrude and what that was all about! Well, I must say that “I Hate Fairyland Volume Three: Good Girl” was definitely an unexpected step up from the second volume! What is this story about? It seems like after the events of th
Gertie realizes being bad is getting her nowhere in her quest to return home and takes a stab at being good. Yeah, we all know how that is going to go. I found this book funnier that the last one, particularly all the riffs on trying to be good. There's a Labyrinth and Lone Wolf and Cub homages along with a Comicon story. All in all pretty great. Young and his colorist, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, continue to delight with their cute but gory art and syrupy sweet colors.
I’ve praised this graphic novel twice now on its hilarious dialogue, super cute illustrations and all the blood and gore. Not to mention it takes place in Fairyland. This was great. We got to learn what would have happened to Larry if he hadn’t got Gert as his first “job”. Can Gert finally become good and earn her way back home?!?Can’t wait to read volume four!!
Gertrude realizes that maybe being bad has kept her trapped in Fairyland all these years. So she tries being good, to the best of her ability, which isn’t great. And it’s naturally cute and hilarious to watch because, of course, it doesn’t go very far. Larry Wentsworth, her guide, imagines life if he never met Gertrude. And it’s a funny and insightful fantasy break. As usual, the plot isn’t crazy deep. It’s more about the jokes afforded by this wonderfully wacky world and the incredible artwork....
MOTHER FLUFFER! I DON’T WANT THIS TO BE OVER!! This was phenomenal and I pray to the fairyland gods that there will be a volume 4 in the future. I need this series to continue!
