Telltale's The Wolf Among Us game was recommended to me by my brother, as he knew how much I enjoyed their Walking Dead game series. And just like those, I absolutely loved The Wolf Among Us. So when I saw that the game had been made into a two-part graphic novel series, I could not resist it. In addition, as the game allows you to make choices that alter the narrative, I thought it would be interesting to see how the events of the graphic novels differ from my game.The story follows the events
4.5 - I loved this so much! The game was addictive as hell but reading the comic was far better than I expected. The plot, characters, art style, everything worked for me and I can't wait to read the next volume.
So apparently Bigby's a softer, gentler wolf than I thought. I played through The Wolf Among Us, and I remember choosing harsher conversational tacts than I normally would to be more in line with by image of Bigby. But in this adaptation, I can see him making choices I turned down as being too soft. So official Bigby has a softer side than I expected...That being said, this does a good job of recapturing the look and feel of the Wolf Among Us game, in a narrative form. It helps that the game is
I'm not a fan of the really inconsistent art style, but I loved the story whilst playing the game of the same name and its good to revisit it with more depth and see the canonical options. I think I just love spending time with these characters and the dynamic between Bigby and Snow is really compelling.
The first half of this story was always my favorite part of the Telltale game, and this comic remained pretty accurate to that so this is my favorite volume. I enjoyed Bigby's narrative voice, as well as the glimpses of his (and Crane's) backstory, which made the story a whole lot darker. The alternating artstyles aren't that "extreme" in this volume (unlike in the 2nd) and I got used to them, but I still preferred Travis Moore's the most, especially his depiction of Bigby.
And here I was thinking Fables was over for me.I've read the whole series and all the spin-offs, so seeing this comic based off the video game after reading 150, I was a little thrown off. Wasn't Fables over? I was happy it was over too. However, I really liked this game. I thought it had a great story and they added interesting characters that aen't in the comic books.Reading this book is similar to playing the game, but it's like if the writers played the game. Since the game is set up were yo...
When you're too lazy to replay the game so you reread it.
I really enjoyed this first volume of stories featuring Bigby Wolf from the Fables graphic novel series. I read the complete series but I wasnt too happy with the way the series ended. It just felt kind of rushed, somehow incomplete and a bit messy with so many different story lines which actually didn't come together in a comprehensive way.With this new series we kick off with a strong focus and great story lines starring Bigby as the main character. I hope we get more stories like this with a
I can freely admit that I was just happy to have more Bigby and Snow, and that's a huge part of my generous rating. But this was genuinely good. It's very dark and noir. There is some bad language and sexual situations, and the killer is really depraved. Convincing as a murder mystery set in Fabletown can be. The examination of class distinctions and the vulnerabilities of certain groups in society is prescient and delivered in a way that is far from preachy. I liked the flashback to when Bigby
Played the game. Read the comic. Fell in love.Really, Bigby Wolf is one of my favorite comic characters.
The Wolf Among Us is the first volume in a new series set in the world of of Fables. Luckily for me, this prequel volume revolves around my very favorite Fables character, Bigby Wolf.In The Wolf Among Us, Bigby is sheriff of Fabletown, serving under acting mayor Ichabod Crane and secretly pining for his beloved Snow White. Bigby continually finds himself in one sticky situation after another (a.k.a., violence and mayhem), and is soon drawn into a murder investigation that seems to be hitting awf...
Every bit as good as the ongoing series. Sturges is no stranger to the world of Fables as he also wrote the Jack of Fables books. This is a prequel of sorts taking place about 20 years before the ongoing series and is based on the Telltale video game. It features Bigby and Snow and you get some appearances from Fables we haven't come across before like Mr. Toad, the Woodsman, Grendel, Tweedle Dee, and Georgie Porgie.
I had just finished the video game "The Wolf Among Us" and I thought this was further stories, but it was in fact just the game's plot, laid out in graphic novel format. There was a fun but confusing plot about Salem that was new, but it took up very few pages. The rest was not new material.
[4.5/5] Really enjoyable and captivating comic. Loved the dialogue, and adore all the artwork. It got a little confusing towards the end but i think that’s more my fault than the book’s. The crime noir feel was awesome.
Very enjoyable murder mystery.
This makes me want to replay the game. I know the story and I know how things would turn out, but the comic manages to keep me on edge and adding new details and backstory without overloading me with unnecessary information. I also love the characterisation of Bigby, which...I'm actually sort of concerned about, at first, since game!Bigby's character depends on how you play him, and I'm sort of afraid that the writer would screw it up. But turns out he's in really good hands. I love the comic in...
This is a comic book version of the PC game with some extra content to make it worth reading, even if you've played the game. It follows the "correct" path through the story.I'm digging it. The art's good, the story's good. My only complaint is that it's dense. It took me a while to read. It's worth it, though. :)
Got Fables withdrawal symptoms? Have no fear The Wolf Among Us is here! In which we get to see Ichabod Crane's ruled Woodlands where most haven't got used to Bigby yet and his yearn for Snow White is secret. A murder mystery wrapped with conspiracies, some of which go back to their original fables. Typical Fables adult themes with prostitutes, drugs, violence and murder and our Big Bad Wolf trying his best to be a sheriff and get to the bottom of it all. 7 out of 12. This series was originally p...
I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Wolf Among Us is a prequel of sorts to the Fables series. It takes place roughly 20 years prior to the events of the books, and fills in some of the gaps that later get explored in volumes such as From Fabletown With Love, which is satisfying. However, The Wolf Among Us could easily be enjoyed without any background in Fables, and vice versa, which is largely the strength of the book.My interest in this was...
