Fairest of All: A Villains Graphic Novel

Product Information

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.

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. The evil stepmother in this retelling of “Snow White” starts life as a commoner who marries the king and becomes a loving mother to his little girl. Love the story, love how all the Serena Valentino books link, and are brilliantly written to be compatible with the Disney film classics. Entertainment: Cinderella's Surprise Celebration • Cinderellabration: Lights of Romance • Disney Dreams: An Enchanted Classic • Dream Along with Mickey • Fantasmic!I will say I liked the twisted ending where Snow White receives the same mirror with her step-mother inside of it. This take on the origins of the Wicked Stepmother in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is an interesting one.

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. Fairest of All: A Villains Graphic Novel is the graphic novel version of the 2009 book, Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen, written by Serena Valentino.

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). Again, I like that this book focuses more on the villain in Snow White but I wish there was a bit more then just the Queen having a depressing life, dying and then Snow White (of course) getting married by a man. I kept wishing that they had made the beginning in full color and then it got diluted down to the three gradually until the end, showing the Queen's dissent into madness.

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.

Because of this, I felt that the characters reacted in extremes at times, possibly heightened by the three color panels.

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. I'm not saying the whole "bring me her heart" thing was above-board or anything, but the Queen probably did the world a favor in eliminating Snow (well, trying to eliminate her). The tolls of parental resentment, jealousy, envy, and magic manifest in the queen’s behavior as the story progresses. I did like the relationship between the King, Queen, and Snow at the beginning, I just felt like without having more of the inner thoughts of the Queen, the change was too abrupt.

While it connected all the key elements of Snow White together with their own significance (the apple, the mirror, vanity, the spells) it still felt slightly disjointed and even farfetched. This is meant to be a humanizing back story for the Wicked Queen from Disney's Snow White, apparently in continuity with the film.Curious to see if more of the series will made into graphic novels, especially The Odd Sisters and Mother Knows Best.
