I decided to start reading this series (ongoing and probably most of the satellite titles). I saw the upcoming Sleeply Hollow and Robyn Hood and thought they looked cool, and I have read the first few of the ongoing before and liked it...so why not?
I looked on Ebay to see what lots are selling for and they really don't come up much, huh? I like to buy series in one auction but no chance this time. Hell, even looking for #1 was hard....didn't show up much at all.
Anyone here actually have a full set of the ongoing? I think the amount of variants actually makes it a fun series to collect because you can choose your favorite for each issue.

I have a lot of the early ones, and then everything from 51 on to current. Workin on finishing the 1-50. If you wanna catch up to the story, especially since some of the early ones are really hard to find, they have a hardcover omnibus of 1-50 coming out in January for about 30 bucks on amazon.
Of course, thats in theory. In theory it was already supposed to come out in June, but it got pushed back, so who knows if itll really happen. Anwyay, Ive had a preorder in for it for months now.
I agree, the series is fun. I also collect all of their satellite/related titles, which means I am collecting almost everything Zenescope puts out (Neverland, Wonderland, etc).
Some of the earlier Wonderland comics are even harder to find than GFT #1. Anyway, Im havin a good time with em. Its different from the big 2, in that since the GFT and related books is all Zenescope does, they make big changes to their universe and the changes actually matter, which can be refreshing amongst all the retconning that goes on in the bigger houses.

I have issues 1-40. Missing 41-74. Missed those cause I moved away for work, and didn't find a lcs where I moved to. My old lcs was saving me comics (Marvel and DC mainly) and missed GFT. Really enjoyed the first 40 issues so, I'm thinking about trying to find 41-74. Have a bunch of the Zenescope satellite series as well. Really like all the Zenescope stuff, really nice art and ususally, a cool wicked spin on their stories.

I bought 1-3 then dropped it until the Ebas variants started showing up. Now I'm trying to find his variants for a reasonable price (I would easily pay double what they are listed here for).
The animated series should be out soon (it's in preproduction) and there's talk of a live action show too.

Ok, I read GFT ongoing to 70 or so, Myths and Legends up to 10ish, read the Wonderland trilogy, and Dream Eater saga. I'm not interested in Neverland but that's a great twist to the story.
I have to say the ongoing series, what a strange trip so far. From an anthology to a mythology to pure fantasy at this point. I hope they do go back to the beginning a little bit, but I'm still enjoying it.
I signed up for Oz, Robyn Hood, and Sleeply Hollow ... and I think the God one.
The reason I started this was because I'm a big fan of Raven Gregory's stuff, so figured why not read what he's done for the most part? For those that enjoy GFT or Wonderland, you should check out Raven's other stuff with Zenescope. I especially loved Fly and Theater, and the Waking was great too.

Yeah, its been interesting how its evolved. Im really likin it though. I still havent read a lot of the earlier ones though, heres hopin that omnibus comes out so i can catch up on all of that. They reallyl have slowly built out a huge world (or four) though, and they keep talkin about doing something in Oz, but I havent seen it in up for preorder yet at Midtown.
