Praise for I HATE FAIRYLAND:
“A candy-colored and vicious delight and always dangerously funny.” —Neil Gaiman
“I Hate Fairyland is pure uncut Skottie Young awesomeness. Like a bag of Angel Dust in comic book form. Only Crazier.” —Jason Aaron
“In this business of comics, cartoonists are the purest practitioners of craft. They blend words and pictures in a way that shouldn’t be possible; they make magic. Skottie Young is a master cartoonist, and this book is a masterpiece.” —Jonathan Hickman
“Awesomely twisted—irreverent and inventive and crazy fun.” —Scott Snyder
“Just read the first issue of my buddy Skottie Young’s new Image Comics book I Hate Fairyland: just pure, distilled FUN from cover to cover” —Francesco Francavilla
“I Hate Fairyland is diabolically engaging and sick and twisted and lovely in that in every single way possible.” —Blastr
“I Hate Fairyland is like Candyland seen through the prism of John Kricfalusi. It’s filled with the dark humor that we’ve come to love and expect from the likes of Lenore and Invader Zim. It takes the tropes from classic children’s tales and kicks them right in the balls before ripping their hearts right out.” —Horror Talk
“I Hate Fairyland is sculpted out of Skottie Young’s rainbow-colored brain meat and then hammer-smashed into the pages of a comic book.” —Dennis Hopeless
