Now having slept on it: While it's been several year since we talked about them, based on my recollections of your opinions of Tin Man, 10th Kingdom and some other fairy tale properties (not that it's really very like those 2, though it's certainly closer to a darker version of Tin Man than to the Franco movie) I do think it has things that you'll like. There's also a potential F/F ship with two of the witches.
I wouldn't say it's grimdark or grim and gritty because it lacks certain things I associate with those, and I associate both with a feeling of eternal struggle and lack of hope that the hero(ine) will succeed and be OK in the end, and EC gives me that feeling.
I've seen some people on tumblr for whom the things I mentioned might be considered dealbreakers under most cases, but for most, the result was along the lines of "I didn't like that but there's enough good to make up for it."
