I Hate Fairyland “Happy Endgame” Story Arc Pulls In New Audience With Classic Storybook Character Appearances, Sells Out At Distributor

The first issue in the much buzzed about “Happy Endgame” story arc of I Hate Fairyland has sold out completely at the distributor level. I Hate Fairyland #16 by Eisner Award winning Skottie Young (Ain’t No Grave, Twig) and Brett Bean (Marvel’s Rocket & Groot) is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with escalating demand. The second printing of this issue will feature new cover art by Bean and hit shelves in December.

This story arc of the long running series has hooked new readers with surprise appearances of iconic characters—including a longtime foe, a certain individual from The Wizard of Oz fame, and more surprises yet to arrive.

In I Hate Fairyland #16, Gert saved Fairyland from a monster infestation and is being celebrated by one and all. Okay, well…maybe not all. Deep below the Inferno, in the bowels of Hell, an old rival is gathering an army of the dead to put an end to Gert. No one in Fairyland will be safe.
