I get what they were trying to portray by having black, white, and bright green but it didn't work for me, mostly in the beginning when the Queen was supposed to be the most kind, loving person ever.

The author does touch on the story of Snow White but keeps rest of the story told from the POV of the wicked stepmother. It's deep Disney lore that she was at one point assigned the name Grimhilde, and I don't see why that name, or literally any other, wasn't used here. Disney''s New York Times best-selling Villains series comes to life in this graphic novel adaptation of the book that started it all in this tragic tale of love and loss, the untold story of Snow White''s Wicked Queen. The tale of the young princess, Snow White, and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known—the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life.Halloween Parade • The Villains Rockin’ Halloween • The Villains World • Villains Grove • Villains Mix and Mingle • Villains Night Out! She's, without a doubt, the most pathetic fairy tale character: absolutely no spine or any redeeming qualities. Because you are seeing someone who had good intentions from the start to be a mother and queen and who was happy in life and ends up falling into a deep dark spiral in life with ultimately their death. I mean, coddling Snow still irritated me, but that's a personal vendetta, so I can't complain overmuch) The emotional abuse of the Queen's father as a justification for her insecurity was handled beautifully. While I'm not sure if it's supposed to be "cannon," I do find it fascinating that Valentino has given the Stepmother a backstory and a reason for being as cruel as she was.

I also felt like the story was more fast-paced in the graphic novel, and if I had read this version first, I probably would have been confused. Disney Villains Fairest of All recounts a version of the story that many over the ages have viewed as plausible.In general, I'm not a huge fan of the trend of making all the classic villains misunderstood--sometimes there is a danger in making evil too sympathetic, after all--but this one did so in an interesting manner.

As such, I'm a fan of any tale that attempts to grant the Queen a sense of redemption or justification. A great examination of how grief, mental health, and abuse can change who we are (note, I don't think those things absolve us for poor behavior). I wasn't a fan of Maleficent, and I think I was convinced these stories would try to make me a fan of the villains.

I didn't love the ending and some scenes were rather confusing, but overall I did enjoy what the author has done here.Not a fan of the original novel series but I am definitely keen to check out all their graphic novel adaptations. The art, which was restricted in color and angular compared to the more rounded Disney characters, was not overly charming to me initially but grew on me as the book went on. The tale of the young princess, Snow White, and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known—the Queen was jealous of the girl''s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen''s attempt on the sweet, naive girl''s life. Valentino constructs an emotionally complex story that investigates the queen’s origins as the daughter of a cruel mirror maker. The tale of the young princess, Snow White, and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known-the Queen was jealous of the girl's beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen's attempt on the sweet, naive girl's life.

The tolls of parental resentment, jealousy, envy, and magic manifest in the queen’s behavior as the story progresses. Neither the Queen or Princess looked all too beautiful with the style and I just felt some details were but that was to be expected.
