Comic Review: Grimm Fairy Tales: Inferno #3

Grimm Fairy Tales: Inferno #3

The third issue of this mini-series features Mercy looking for 'The Priest' inside the third ring of the Inferno. And as with any trip to hell not everybody is friendly. We see Mercy cross paths with a familiar person from an earlier issue who offers some unexpected aid as well as somebody from her past that is not so pleased to see her again.

Sexy outfits, a female that is not only capable but more than willing to kick butt, along with a fast paced storyline all combine to make this a good read that will keep the reader engaged.

Grimm Fairy Tales: Inferno #3

We are looking forward to more of this series to see just how Mercy's adventures through the rings of the Inferno unfold and to discover who she was sent to rescue. A strong sexy female lead makes this a hard book to resist.

Adventure, sexy women, combat and demons, how can you resist? If you aren't reading this mini-series you should be.
