I can't believe I paid £3 for an interlibrary loan to read these comics.Snow White is still acting like an idiot so that Bigby can be the big-damn-hero and swoop in and save her. In this case, she failed to consider the consequences of setting things on fire before she built her entire strategy around... setting things on fire.Oh well, I'll guess we'll just have to blame it on the baby-brain. The romance-not-romance subplot between Bigby and Snow White is obnoxious as ever. Snow White is heavily...

Also available on the WondrousBooks blog. I love this series more and more, the deeper we get into the story. As I said in my review for the previous volume, at the beginning, when it was just a bunch of characters seemingly without a set purpose, I wasn't fully convinced. Sure, it was fun and all, but I couldn't possibly imagine how they could make as many volumes as they did if the story continued the same way.Good news: It didn't. Fables has slowly been evolving, volume by volume, and gett

Wow! Another great Fable comic!

Once Upon a Time could never.

In which the first refugee for centuries comes to Fabletown; King Cole has to learn about politics; Bigby goes on a mission; and mayhaps Fabletown could be under threat! This volume was the decider for me, when I first read this series - under highly testing and trying conditions the mettle of the immortal fables is shown for what it is, as Bill Willingham and co. make clear that for all their humanity, the Fables are not human. The extension of a well known fairy tale, to provide the origin of

Love this series! ❤️The humour, the mystery, the characters and the story is so good. Each volume gets better and more interesting by the page. The characters are well developed and still developing as you learn more about them. I especially love Snow and Bigby and can’t wait to see how their relationship develops, perhaps to be more than colleagues; especially as they are quite well connected due to Snow being pregnant. The story of this particular volume was interesting and it was nice learnin...

This is when the bomb drops and this series becomes one of my favorites of all time.World: The art is Buckingham, and it's gorgeous. One of the best things about his art are the characters, they are the core of the series and Buckingham gives them so much life and personality that this book would be nothing without his art. The splash pages this time around with the invasion was pretty fantastic and detailed. The world building here is brilliant. The detail from the 'Last Castle' the machination...

Maybe my favorite volume.(concerning the march of the wooden soldiers towards Fabletown)Mother: Tom, look at THIS!Son: Is it a parade?Mother: I don't think so. Maybe a demonstration?Father: No, they're all too WHITE to be Black pride, or Latino pride, or Asian pride.Mother: They're all well-dressed. Could they be gay pride?Father: I doubt it. Their suits are way too conservative.Son: And they have all those guns.Father: Oh my God! You're right! It finally happened! It's the Young Republicans! Th...

The ever addictive graphic novel series of Fables is one of the smartest and most fun graphic series I've read in a long time. The one issue is that it's not always structured or coherent fun (at least not yet). That said due to the continuing strength of the fractured fairytale series I fully recommend these novels to fans of fairytales, graphic novels/comics and television shows like 'Grimm' or 'Once Upon a Time'.In a way, Fables is structured like a procedural type of drama. It has a set of r...

This volume of fables is by far the ongest one yet and consists of 8 issues (and a bonus one at the beginning). It's really a turning point for the series as we get to meet a few more characters, lose some familiar names and learn a lot more about the age-old adversary of the Fables. The first issue within this was very battle heavy yet it did teach a lot more about the history of the Fables, the next few issues were all an interlinked story about the current problems facing Fabletown and I love...

this was pretty good, but one question remains: WHAT. HAPPENED. TO. THE ART? I can barely recognize some of the MAIN characters anymore. WHY DOES EVERYONE LOOK SO UGLY? I don’t understand.

I made frands with the comic book store owner. We connected over a deep mutual hatred for Prince Charming and double layer chocolate cake.Also, I love this series.

Great issues. It had multiple woodies. ha. Well, the Adversary has found the citizens living in their new world and he is sending people in to collect them. There is an epic battle of witches not seen since Glinda and the Wicked witch of the west or Merlin and mad madame Mim. Battle of the crypt keepers.Bigby saves the day, snow is very pregnant and the race for mayor is really heating up. Charming is putting his charm on high, set for stun. A lot is happening and it is a entertaining story. Eve...

Fables volume 4 is probably the longest chapter so far, but easily the best of the bunch. So what happens when Little Red Riding Hood comes strolling into fabletown. I thought she was dead? Least Boy Blue told the story of the fight of his life with his solider buddies before the Advisory and all his minions came to fuck shit up and force the fables to retreat into our world. However, not all is what it seems. Bigby right away knows something is up but will he be too late to uncover it all? Will...

3.5 starsReally enjoyed the addition of the wooden soldier army, loved how they talked and acted, they were hilarious. The battle at the end was pretty great as well. The artwork was a bit of a hit and miss though, some characters were drawn rather weirdly at times, either their facial expressions had too much detail or not enough.Not liking the whole Snow/Bigby nonsense, I thought it might be interesting at one point but they turned Snow into a damsel-in-distress at the battle and Bigby into an...

The longest and probably the best volume so far. So glad I've picked up this series.

Wow that was a long one. I'm really falling in love with these.I didn't much care for the wooden soldier villains or the conflict in this one, though I did like the addition of Red Riding Hood (view spoiler)[ for as long as I thought she was Red Riding Hood (hide spoiler)]. Snow and Bigby are still perfect, but they didn't get much exposure in this one and I missed them.

A preggers Snow White has to cobble together a bunch of fables to fight The Adversary while Bigby is trying to track down how this dude got his army into their city to start with.The Wooden Soldiers themselves looked like Mr. Anderson from the Matrix, only funnier. And WTF with Pinocchio!?Ah! That was awesome and unexpected at the end.Little Boy Blue and Red Riding Hood both had some great backstories, and I can't wait to see how all of that eventually resolves itself. <--there are apparently 4

"Make sure their heads are removed, no matter how dead they seem."In my opinion, this is the best volume of Fables so far. Lots of fast plot and action with a not too overwhelming amount of romance and drama. Loved it! 4.75

This was my favorite fables volume yet. It starts with the tale told by Little Boy Blue of the fall of the final fable fortress to the Adversary. But, all is not as it seems. Red Riding Hood was assumed fallen in that conflict- but she appears in Fableland seeking asylum. Everybody save Bigby Wolf is overjoyed. He is suspicious of her story and goes to investigate. Meanwhile it seems that Gepetto is still alive and in the clutches of the Adversary and has been making wooden dolls all this time.
