Okay, I admit, Zenescope had me at hello. I mean, Cinderella Serial Killer Princess #3? Who can resist a title like that, especially when the good girl art on the cover signals that this is not your standard fairy story. The title for Cinderella Serial Killer Princess #3 is Bunnicorn, which, in case you’ve never encountered one before, is a cross between a rabbit and a unicorn.

Working for the Order of the Tarot, Cindy jumps from realm to realm, killing, maiming and cutting off heads. Maybe someone should have shouted “She’s behind you!” but no-one did so her tally is rising by the bucketload.

In Cinderella Serial Killer Princess #3, Cindy is laying waste to Wonderland before moving on to Oz and Neverland. If you have treasured memories of childhood characters like Tweedledum and Tweedledee this is maybe not the title for you, but the rest of us can sit back and enjoy the unfettered and unrelenting carnage in the run-up to next issues final instalment when Cindy finally meets Robyn Hood in a battle royal (what else) that promises to have decidedly deadly consequences for one of them.

Cinderella Serial Killer Princess #3 is a mad, frenetic, roller-coaster ride that sweeps you along like a tidal wave. Forget the fact that nothing really makes any sense and just enjoy the, frankly, troubled childhood revenge fantasies of Dave Franchini. And don’t forget to leave a carrot out for the Bunnicorn just in case.
