This was by far the most engrossing volume of the series yet. It's broken into two sections. The first part deals with Jack and his life of getting famous in Hollywood. It's funny side of things though the ending not so much. The other half of this book is about Boy Blue. Who, till now, I didn't care much about. All of a sudden he becomes a badass motherfucker and goes into the homeland to retrieve the love of his life and hunt down the evil that took over his lands. Good: The second half is gre...

So this volume collects 3 different threads, woven somewhat together for us.1) Jack left Fabletown in an earlier volume, here we see him go to Hollywood and make it big in the movies, with stolen wealth from his fellow fables. He's tracked down by Beast, the new Sheriff, and allowed to escape, but never to return to Fabletown. I believe this sets up the whole spin-off series Jack of Fables, which Willingham also writes. This Jack isn't a minor screw up like the previous volumes show, this shows

A good read! So here I am again, reviewing of these amazing volumes! A lot of my friends here on GR think this is one of the best volumes, but do I agree? So the story for this one is split into two. The first being a two part story following Jack, as he takes stolen money from the Fabletown government and tries to break into Hollywood and the movie buisness by making movies of himself. I'm not really a fan of Jack, but reading about his get rich quick schemes in these volumes are always enterta...

"Big walter horton."Jack's story kinda fell flat for me. It just wasn't interesting enough, and there wasn't enough action to balance all the talking and planning and drama. So I give his story about a 3.Boy Blue's story, though, was fantastic! I loved seeing this other side to Boy Blue that we haven't really seen before. In one of the previous volumes, he kinda hinted that he was a big shot hero who single-handedly took down a lot of the Adversary's forces. I couldn't see it then... BUT NOW he

One of the facets of a good story is the ability to still deliver shocking moments to the reader. All the more so because I truly did not expect the long awaited explanation of the Adversary to be so shocking. Well done Mr. Willingham not only did you craft a great story, but the grand scale of this story is beginning to take shape and it is impressive.First things first- Vol 6 is a strange issue. The first part is entirely centered on Jack, from the Beanstalk, and a tiny girl named Jill. Jack g...

This volume had the most scattered group of storylines so far, with some really good issues and some of my least favourites as well. Most of this volume follows Boy Blue on his quest through The Homelands to defeat The Adversary. For the most part I found myself wondering what was happening back in Fabletown, but by the end I was invested.I liked the introduction of Mowgli from the Jungle Book in one of the issues, too. I'm excited to see what his role will be. I also didn't mind Jack's takeover...

An exciting, heroic fairy-tale adventure. Fables at some of its best, at long last.

Didn’t enjoy this one nearly as much as usual. There didn’t seem to be a united storyline and none (or almost none) of the familiar characters.

This volume gets a high 3.5* rating from me as it went back into the Homelands and I really enjoyed getting to see how the Homelands were after the Fables had left them and seeing a LOT more about the Adversary and how he came to be. This volume tells the reader a lot, and also seeing Boy Blue on his adventure was really good becuase he's quite the brave hero when he wants to be.The story within this one once again seemed to be better than the artwork and I found that I could ignore it when a ch...

Wow! Another great addition to the series! This volume showed who the Adversary is and gave more insight to his plans! I really like Boy Blue. He is getting to be a cool character. This volume had everything I love about the Fables series.

Jack of Fables (lots of fables!) sets out to make himself a ton of money while increasing his immortality. How?Welcome to Hollywood.Who is The Adversary? <--find out here!Little Boy Blue is an ass-kicker who goes back to his homeland on his own with the help of some very powerful magical artifacts that he's taken from Fabletown.He's on a quest to find the real Red Riding Hood and take out The Adversary, and he does a damn fine job with both of those goals.Sort of. Mowgli shows up and is apparen...

-----Mild spoilers below------This one would have been a five star for me but the whole Jack being rich in Hollywood seemed boring and pointless. I get that they were setting it up so that he had to leave Fabletown because he was heading off into his own graphic novel spin-off - Jack of Fables. I just felt it was a little lazy - I plan on reading the spin-off series soon but I'm following a reading guide on the series and says I don't have to go back and read all of his graphic novels until volu...

In which we get to see a lot more of Jack of Tales, a lot more of Boy Blue, and finally we get to visit the Homelands! Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham's world building goes into overdrive as begin to see the Fables' native universe itself. Stories of deft planning, trickery, violence, cunning, lies, deceit and good intentions abound, as the taste and flavour of the Fable worlds, the Homelands, are given colour, depth and context by these storytellers. 8 out of 12.

Wasn't that impressed with Jack's Hollywood adventure, it didn't fit in with the rest of the chapters/story, it was also the same old sort of Jack rubbish, it added very little to his character or the world or the overarching story.Enjoyed the other chapters with Boy Blue travelling back to the homelands, fighting the bad guys, and finding out the truth about the adversary/emperor.

Weakest Fables comic so far but it's still good comic nonetheless.I really don't care about Jack of fables, I find him and his story totally uninteresting and completely unrelated with rest of volume 6.Alone I would give it 1.5-2 stars.Luckily it was short enough.Main story follows Boy blue and his trip to the homelands and we finally se who is the Adversary and I kind of expected more, it was all bit underwhelming.Still good but not up to Fables standard.

So many interesting characters! I had a feeling I already knew Who the advesary was. Still a Nice reveal and story behind it. Boy blue is a F’n badass

This story was exceptional and the last volume was really good. They are on a streak. I need the next one. This one we discover who the adversary is and I think it’s pretty brilliant. This is about Boy Blue going back to the Homelands to rescue Red Riding Hood. The stakes get higher in this one and the story telling felt tight to me. Mowgli is introduced into the story as well which is a nice twist. Snow and Bigby were missed, but this was Boy Blue’s story and it was very awesome.I enjoyed the a...

4.5 stars

This is the strongest addition to the Fables series to date. Perhaps it helps that this was more of an adventure story set in the Fablelands than previous novels and that we also find out the identity of the dreaded Adversary, which is an interesting little twist. This all reminds me that part of the strength of this graphic novel series to date appears to be in the versatility of genres used by the writers. While the series is in effect procedural with various episodes happing from volume to vo...

This collection of Fables stood out in that most of it takes place in the Fables homelands, other than the edition about Jack's adventures in Hollywood. I gave it five stars because the writing is excellent as always, and the story took my emotions all over the place.Jack is not a favorite character of mine. He lacks most of what I love in a character. I love edgy heroes, but Jack is 99% rogue with maybe 1% decency in there somewhere. Everything he does is with a selfish motive, even if it ends
