Reception

Deb Aoki from About.com wrote: "March Story features some dazzling and delicate, almost art nouveau-style art to go along with its often gruesome fables. This very grim fairy tale series will appeal to fans of Vertigo's Fables or Sandman, which makes it a good pick if you're aching for something new to read on All Hallow's Eve."
