The intricacy of this series blows my mind just all the time. We love to see a misogynistic prince get beat up and ultimately defeated. The one thing about this series is that my fave character died and I don't know who to like anymore

The main story revolves around Rose Red, but Camelot opens with Rodney and June's little Junebug exploring the castle on move-in day and discovering some villainous rat-men in a basement. How will they play into these final volumes, I wonder? Ok. Rose finally meets the grown-up Therese, and her story of redemption for herself and the toys inspires Rose to become Hope's Paladin of Second Chances.With this in mind, she creates a new Camelot - and all the problems that come with it. Rose's knights...

Soooooo good!

3.75 starsAs usual, there were smaller storylines going on at the same time, but the main storyline in this volume is Rose Red trying to recreate the Knights of the Round Table. She has a table built in a field, then spreads the word that she is looking for knights to populate her round table. Many Fables gather to see who she will choose. I really enjoyed this main storyline, as well as the next biggest storyline in this one, involving Snow White and her children. I so love the illustrations in...

You would think that, with just two books left in the series (Volume 20 is the second last book in the Fables saga), Willingham will get his act together to tell a cohesive story. But NO.Camelot, the 20th volume in Fables' ongoing saga, is yet another piss-poor entry in the series, a disturbing trend that has been going on for the past eight volumes or so (except for Cubs in Toyland. That one is a masterpiece). This book continues to be listless and clueless about where the hell it wants to go,

Rose Red believes that bringing Camelot back will help the Fables with all of their problems. That's the main story with a few average to above average other tales woven into the book.Artwork is its usual quality. MY GRADE: B

Absolutely fantastic. This was a really good installation, you guys! My goodness! The plot was advances steadily and the emotional turmoil of the last few books was maintained (and even escalated here and there). There was a particular issue in this tradeback that featured (view spoiler)[Bigby being guided through the afterlife by Boy Blue and meeting Dare (hide spoiler)] that was an AMAZING payoff for the patient reader and I cannot get over how touching it was. I'm excited to see where the nex...

*DUN DUN DUN*IT'S COMING TO AN END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm not sure what I'll do now since Fables has been my long standing "go-to" comic. WHAT WILL I DO?! WHAT WILL I READ?! I guess I could catch up on the Grimm collection...BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME! I'm nervously biting my nails and axiously awaiting this final showdown between all the power players that have carved out lives in Fabletown and beyond. I mostly want Bigby and Snow White to have a happy ending including ROSE RED AND EVERYBODDIE ELSE...

Where can this book go after the last two, very good, but heart wrenching volumes? How about the beginning of the end of Fabletown!!! (Not as literal or spoilery as it sounds, by the way :)). The terrible omens and sightings of her possible destiny have lead Rose Red to create a new Camelot, not realising that the Fates, very much like the same stories repeating!As this is happening, all the powers at hand, are looking into ways of saving Bigby. More cool Fables lore being created and a little b...

In case you haven't heard, FABLES is ending with issue #150.I know...it will be hard to imagine my life without new FABLES coming out, but somehow I will have to try and carry on:-/However, I will not be able to wait as we make our way through the final 20 issues of FABLES for those issues to get released in trade paperback. So for the final run of FABLES, I will be reading it in single issue comics each month.After a devastating spell in FABLES, I found the last volume/arc "Snow White" to be a

To say that the comic book series penned by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham has reached its twentieth collected volume is quite the astonishing feat, but when one considers that it has won fourteen Eisner awards, and is working its way through its second major storyline that continues to build and become more exiting with each volume, it’s not really a surprise at all.After things continue to take a turn for the worse in the previous collected volume, Snow White, Camelot seeks...

Is there some kinda of fiction rule that if a character has been around long enuff they must become an asshole? Because suddenly thats the good doctor in scenes with former-Mrs Spratt, and Rose Red more than usualblah blah, running low on ideas but wanting a big bang for their ending anyway this world decided to stop with their own stories and instead play make pretend with Camelot & fill in already existing roles: here's a giant circle of a table, here's some knights, here's "Arthur" figure & h...

It's fairly obvious that I like the Fables series. I've been reading it for 20 volumes now. Save a few exceptions most of the volumes have entertained and a handful are exceptional. Considering how far along the story we are and the events that have played out Bill Willingham still manages to keep it going. Camelot is what it sounds like. Rose Red is going to recreate Camelot, Round Table and All, as she attempts to be a "2nd Chance" Queen. Unfortunately (IMHO), her actions cause a rift with Sno...

This volume shows Rose Red attempting to reform the Knights of the Round Table with a totally new cast of knights, but foreshadowing is already making things look sinister. Also, somethings going on with Bigby Wolf that also doesn't look good. There's also a story spotlighting Gepetto as well as a tale showing the Fabletown "band" as they battle an evil witch to free a world.Overall a lot going on and a good volume, but they only have one more volume to wrap things up (well two if you count Fabl...

Finally caught up on this series, almost a year after starting it. I'd forgotten how much I love these graphic novels, and I am definitely not ready for the series to end. Vol. 20 was just perfect.

In which we: witness the beginning of the end; learn that some cycles are inevitable; and think maybe Willingham wants to go out with a bang rather than the loud nasal whine of the last volume.

I was going to give this two stars. Two stars for my beloved Fables. What has the world come to? Honestly I stopped giving a crap about Rose when I lost all admiration for her around Boy Blue time. She never quite redeemed herself in my eyes, and I wouldn't follow her to the corner bar much less to the ends of the earth (er...worlds?). I then reflected upon my emotional attachments. Snow and her strength and Mama Bear (excuse me - wolf) instincts. Bigby (my heart may actually be breaking to see

Hopefully this review won't fucking disappear?A steady decline of interest and depth. The mad attempt to save the ending of the last volume is groan-worthy. It was incredibly awkward watching Rose ignore her sister's tragedy and focus on her own weird quest. Focusing on Geppetto is getting really old; guys, it's volume 20. He's not a scary threat anymore. And the last plotline was such a bore, Jesus, there is NOTHING at stake for characters we've barely known for a few pages.Can't wait for this
