Preview: Skottie Young's I Hate Fairyland From Image Comics

We talked to Skottie Young about his new comic book I Hate Fairyland (with the even ruder alternative title below) when it was announced – a good reason to catch up!

Well here's your chance to preview the comic book, as it's Final Order Cut-Off day for the book, published by Image Comics, today. But here's what some other creators had to say first…

   "Pure, distilled FUN from cover to cover" —Francesco Francavilla

"Awesomely twisted—irreverent and inventive and crazy fun." —Scott Snyder

"A masterpiece." —Jonathan Hickman

"Funny, smart and incredibly original. One of the most imaginative and entertaining comics I have ever read." —Brian Lynch, writer of the Minions movie

"I Hate Fairyland is sculpted out of Skottie Young's rainbow-colored brain meat and then hammer-smashed into the pages of a comic book." —Dennis Hopeless

"Pure uncut Skottie Young awesomeness. Like a bag of Angel Dust in comic book form. Only Crazier." —Jason Aaron

"I Hate Fairyland is so damn good that I now kinda hate Skottie Young a little. It's SO much fun." —Gerry Duggan

"Top notch, man." —Jim Mahfood, Grrl Scouts, Miami Vice

"I haven't seen this much cartoon violence since that fever dream when I was six." —Kaare Andrews

"Verdict: SO FLUFFING INCREDIBLE! Slug Lord FTW!" —Ryan Ottely

"A fulfillment of the promise of Image Comics, the pure creative vision of a writer/artist at the top of his game. It's Skottie Young unleashed to do what he was born to do, make awesome and stuff it into comic pages." —Jason Howard

"I don't know who snuck into Skottie Young's mind and unleashed its darkest specters all across I Hate Fairyland, but I would like to shake their hand and buy them a flagon of flapper-fluff blood beer. Gorgeous, technicolor-twisted and fun as hell, this is a book handcrafted by a maniac for maniacs… with a soft cuddly side." —Joe Kelly

And the publisher describes it, this,

Satirizing the typical Alice in Wonderland/Wizard of Oz fantasy tale of a young girl dropped in a magical, irritatingly joyful kingdom, I HATE FAIRYLAND explores what would happen if someone was kept on steady diet of gumdrops and sunshine for years.

I HATE FAIRYLAND introduces readers to Gertrude, a snarky, slightly deranged 40-year-old with a battle axe who happens to be trapped in a Shirley Temple-esque body and confined to the technicolor funworld that is Fairyland. This is an all-new series full of morbid, dark humor and snark—perfect for fans of Invader Zim and Fight Club.

Take it away Skottie…
