Title:<\/strong> Greenberry
\nAuthor:<\/strong> Liz Keene
\nStart Date:<\/strong> 2011
\nGenre:<\/strong> Fantasy
\nUpdate Schedule:<\/strong> Whenever
\nWebsite:<\/strong> http:\/\/greenberry.smackjeeves.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this twist on the classic fairy tale The Frog Prince,<\/i> a young princess wanders out of her castle and discovers a frog and turns him into a human with a kiss.<\/p>\n

As you can guess by the image, the frog is NOT happy. He was already a prince of the Frog Kingdom, and he could lose his right to the throne if he remains in his human form. He brings the princess on an adventure to find a wizard to change him back.<\/p>\n

Recommended Age Group:<\/strong> All ages.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a general rule not to review webcomics that are too young; I tend to give them time to develop their story before putting them on this blog.<\/p>\n

Greenberry<\/i> has turned out to be a surprising exception to this rule. One great strength to this comic is its pacing. We’re only 41 pages in, and the story is already well-developed so quickly! Most webcomics typically require several chapters before the gears start grinding, but this comic jumps right into the action.<\/p>\n

Another notable characteristic of this comic is the art style. It’s very reminiscent of Shel Silverstein.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This comic seems to suffer the same problem as Buni,<\/a> where none of the characters are named. Most of them are referred to as a title or what they look like. (Prince Frog VI? Yeah, that’s believable.)<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I give this comic a wholehearted recommendation. If you’re a fan of twisted fairy tales or want to show your kids a sweet fantasy story that doesn’t make the source material darker and edgier (which seems to be a popular trend in fiction nowadays), this is totally worth your while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
