**** (Good)
DESCRIPTION: Red and her forbidden friend Mister Woof have made it to the cave of the Mapmaker, but their journey is far from over. The iron-fisted ruler of Fairyland, Grimm, still pursues the rogue characters - and the path ahead is at least as dangerous as the path behind. To reach the real world and their own chance at a happy ending, the pair must follow the Yellow Brick Road through Oz and past Wonderland... but these places aren't the fairy tales they used to be.
REVIEW: I needed a quick palate-cleanser after my last read (and after another bad news day), so I figured I'd return to this series for the second issue. It picks up right where the previous installment left off, with Red and Woof in the sanctuary of the Mapmaker's cavern - where they learn the fate of forgotten stories, a fate that might befall them if they fail. Meanwhile, Grimm and his armies haven't given up pursuit of the pair, even as Wonderland and Oz offer their own threats. Still an enjoyable riff on tweaked fairy tales, with a cliffhanger promising more adventures ahead.
