To free Bagheera, Mowgli tracks Bigby from one end of the globe to the other, all to offer him the deal of a lifetime.To be with Snow, Bigby goes behind enemy lines and deals a massive blow to The Adversary. Loved the inclusion of the 7th son.This also has a wedding and a Happily Ever After (?) in it. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]The last issue is one I'd read somewhere before, with Cinderella trying to broker a deal with the giants that live in the Cloud City by curing an earache. It's a

I love how this story is coming together. They have done the work to set up the world and the characters and now it's all paying off in big ways, in my mind. Bigby is back and his story line is awesome. Mowgli finds and recruits him for a mission. We also see Cinderella in this version and let me say that Cinderella is an excellent spy. I would love to see more of her in future stories. She was totally kick ass. Bigby and Snow finally tie the knot and they have a whole new valley they can live t...

The more Fables I read, the more annoyed I get with the misogyny. I'm sorry, if someone accepted my proposal with "You defeated me. You win," I'd have to say, "No thanks, babe, obviously you are not as enthusiastic as I am." Bonus for using the patriarchal traditional wedding vows with Snow, a woman who's already supposedly learned what a s****y deal traditional marriage can be from one a**hole husband--can you really see her vowing to "obey" another? And the "Israel Analogy" or whatever the hel...

One of my favorite installments to date. The plot was great, seeing the growth of the wolf cubs was adorable, and the resolution of Snow and Bigby's storyline great. A great part about this collection was that the original script for issue #50 (The Wedding Chapter) was included complete with snarky remarks and hilarious comparisons. This was my favorite! (Note: I am not marking this review as a spoiler since it says in the table of contents what happens in the end.) "Same Scene: They kiss. Thi...

I really do like Bigby. That character is one of the main reasons that I keep reading Fables. I even like the Bigby/Snow romance. But I'm really really sick of watching a formerly interesting female character become a glorified babysitter once she gives birth, only to emerge to broker deals between the men in her family. Also, I really, really could have done without the sappy wedding business. Ick.

Fables: Wolves is the book where Bigby returns and this lifts everything to another level. I've mentioned before that this series has the strength of being incredibly versatile in what genres it moves between. This book captures on that versatility and expands the series. A solution to Bigby's issues is found, a war is potentially stopped in the Fablelands and Cinderella goes on an important mission up a beanstalk.I have very little to add to the general idea conveyed of the series in my other p...

Other than that out-of-the-blue, out-of-the-place distasteful (too me at least) Israeli analogy - which was a huge turn off and almost took me right out of the story - this one was another great volume in further progressing the Fables world and mythology just like the previous ones. A BIG decisive blow to the dreaded adversary from the Fables community as a payback for that Battle of the Fabletown, which will likely be the stepping point in declaration for an all-out open war between Fabletown

A pretty solid combination of fairy tales and modern-day spy/espionage stuff. They work well together here, although the author's own political leanings shine through a little too much from time to time - and I'm still not buying the whole Bigby/Snow White romance and found it the most tedious and poorly-written part of an otherwise decent set of stories.

In which Mowgli (yes, that Mowgli!) seeks a lost Fable; Fabletown hatches a plan against the Adversary; and Cinderella has to do something deeply against her nature... use diplomacy! The whole fate of the Wolf family set-up resolved in just three issues - feels a bit rushed. In addition we're still yet to rediscover the really feisty Cinderella from Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile? Despite these debatable (literally), talking points, this series is humming away nicely. 7.5 out of 12.

"If you do fall through, you'll have a long time to regret listening to me on the way down."FINALLY it's Bigby's time to shine, and I absolutely loved every bit of it!Mowgli's story was great. I liked how he really had to push his limits to find Bigby and that it took a lot more than just a bit of expert tracking to catch up to him. Overall, a pretty interesting transition into Bigby's story.Now, Bigby's story was simply amazing. Immediately he gets to show off how pro he is at basically everyth...

I'm very disappointed in Willingham's choices this volume! He takes what should have been (and was) a beautiful love story and turns it into something ugly. Firstly, Willingham falls into the classicly horrid stereotype of faithful-woman-waits-for-unfaithful-man(think The Odyssey). Why did Bigby need to have a love affair over the five years he and Snow were separated? Especially since, as far as we readers know, Snow was faithful to him for the duration of their separation and even went through...

This isn't a review so much as a frothing rant interspersed with frequent headdesking and book-throwing. You may want to steer clear.I don't even care how good the last story was (and it *was* quite good because Cinderella kicks arse). This gets a big fat FAIL for the horrible, overblown, gag-inspiring Snow White/Bigby reunion plot, in which children who are named like bodice ripper heroes and Woodstock flowerbrats are whimsically cute and charmingly misbehaved (but never too much because they a...

Graphic Novel. Book 8 in the Fables series follows Bigby on a secret mission, gives us his schmaltzy reunion with Snow, and then we go on another secret mission, this time with Cinderella. It also includes the script to Fables #50. I just wasn't that impressed with this volume. The first stories were kind of all over the place, a lot of "ONE DAY LATER" and "MEANWHILE, BACK ON THE FARM" so that I was getting whiplash from one page to the next. The Snow/Bigby reunion lacked the emotional impact it...

This volume of Fables is definitely for readers who have been following Bigby Wolf and Snow White's romance. I think that it was very satisfying overall. I do have to agree with one of my fellow GRs friends/reviewers that Willingham committed the cardinal sin of an estranged couple, and that did bother me. I couldn't not give this five stars though because it was overall very well done. I have always been enamored with werewolf stories. I tend to shy away from the gratuitously violent gorefests,...

Spoiler alert ⚠️ 👇Yay! Wolf and Snow get married 👰 👏 💒

3.5 stars

Compared to previous volumes, this one was kind of a let down. There's less than usual in the way of actual content (30 pages of filler in the back). And I know I'm touchy, but I was really unhappy that Snow vowed to "obey" Bigby. Totally out of character, in my opinion, and annoying besides. Hopefully the series will pick back up with the next book.

So yeah, Fables continues to be pretty boss. I guess the first few volumes didn't click with me but the last 3 sure have. So this is mostly about getting Bigsby to come back to the farm. However, he can't do that because he's banned. If you don't remember he might have huffed and puffed and blown down some pig's houses and killed red riding hood. So when he comes back to fabletown he goes on a secret mission to help push the winning war for fabletown against the evils! Also there's a wedding. Oh...

The conclusion to a plotline that I really wanted. The way of going about that was rushed, badly put together and ultimately non-sensical. It truly is unfortunate as the previous volumes with this plot handled it so well.The Israel equivalent was goddamn awful. If anything the situation is reversed, a militant large nation (with a proxy small nation) fighting and conquering those who are native to the country. The level of dumb writing hopefully is fully epitomized in this work and disappears fo...

well i dont have much time to read these days but this was an amazing volume we got to see 2 fable town spies at workfirst we seen mowgli looking for bigby and then we found fabletown's special agent bigby at work what about that ? lets make him a special agent for impossible missions onlyand then we saw bigby and snowhite get married which was incredibly greatand finally we got a taste of what Cinderella can doand now we cant help it but read Cinderella And jack of fables someday i think they w...
