Grimm Fairy Tales: The Library (pt.1 of 5)

Hello there,

 Well today I want to share with you all a new comic book trade that I have gotten in the last few weeks. Still before I begin my only as so far known "All Ages" review I would like take a few minutes and talk about my own time with my local Library seen most recently here

is the place that I went to in the latter part of summers when I was in high school to see art exhibits, and get in on the used book sales right before school started again. In fact when I have in the past talked about meeting people I can tell you I did so at the Richland public library when I volunteered working there for a year's time in two thousand three over the late summer months, when I worked in the day shift instead like now midday to six something or other. Now let's jump into this other comic story besides "Alice in Wonderland" that has me enjoying comics again as well. It is called "The Library" by Zenescope press under their "Grimm Fairy Tales" label 
 
, as far as I know that is the only name they use that I'm aware of. The story is written by  Joe Brusha with art by Giovanni Timpano. Brusha's story consist of two kids that are brother and sister with their names are Thomas and Sela Mathers and their super rich over obsessive business driven father, who cares more about making deals to make himself richer, and continues to make empty promises to his two kids. Till one given school year he buys an old building that just happens to impress greatly on 

young Sela when she steps out of his limo. When she lifts her head to sky from where she's standing a awesome old building that her dad Mister Mathers has not so great plans for, once inside Mister Mathers has business with the property owner of the building a woman by the named of Ms. Sullivan. To ease the stress, of witnessing a huge battle of adult matters between their father and her Ms Sullivan tells Sela and Thomas to go see what their father will do by taking away the halls that are full of great adventures, as they start we see both adults getting testy on where they stand. You the reader come to find out that Thomas and Sela have found their way to a staircase that has a room at the bottom of it that Sela has fallen into and it is very big and empty of what kids of any age would like, expect for a podium that has a big leather covered book on it. Thomas happens to be playing with a tiny skull when Sela takes notice of the book and together they find hanging from the ceiling a key on a string and uses it to open the side of book when a keyhole lock is attached. As the look at the pictographs within the pages that they have open Sela realizes that her thoughts of this being a old book of spells is true! To prove to her brother that it is a book of Magic for he seems to doubt it, Sela reads this out loud "More exists than our eyes can see... More things live than can ever be... Beyond our sight but not our call...are places and creatures big and small from this book of the power comes....to bring them from... a world away...to the place they long to stay... and make them live with flesh and bone... so they shall call the world their home."  All of sudden the book spew out energy that brings all of the other books through out the whole library to life. Thomas happen to be pulled into a book of Greek Mythology while Sela is pulled into an area label on the shelf of Dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. Her father are no closer in their stalemate when he hears his daughter's cry for help. What he sees in front of him has him taken aback for all he and Ms Sullivan see are books full of that energy spewing everywhere...
