I Hate Fairyland

A gleefully violent and absurdist fantasy from writer/artist Skottie Young, I Hate Fairyland follows a woman trapped for decades in a pastel-colored magical world, where she has responded to her predicament by becoming its most bloodthirsty and unhinged resident. Originally published by Tokyopop, this three-issue 2017–2018 series distills Young's signature style—a chaotic blend of cute character design and over-the-top gore—into a concentrated, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt story about the limits of patience and the joys of destruction. It matters as a pure, unfiltered dose of creator-driven comics, showcasing Young's talents as both a writer and artist in a story that gleefully upends the tropes of the portal fantasy genre.
