review 1: This story arc covers what happens to two of Snow and Bigby's children. In the previous book, you find out there is a prophesy about the kids and this collection covers what happens with two of them. By the close of this volume we now know what happens with three of the kids. I'm...

review 1: Updating a weekend of reading. This one follows the cubs as one has to be crowned North Wind. There is an additional part about whether Santa Claus is a fable and a bunch of really small sets of panel to carry on stories based on celebrity readers. These short pages move on some ...

review 1: What a delightful book!! At first I thought that I wasn't in the mood for this type of book--scout lost in the woods meeting talking animals and dastardly villains--but I'm so glad I stuck with it. How it turns out makes me so happy. Love the imagination of Bill Willingham. A...

review 1: I finished this up while at my son's house this last week. I had trouble staying with this book, especially in the beginning, I suppose because it was so negative. All sorts of bad things happen, and then Peter's brother, Max, becomes a SERIOUSLY bad guy. This is a book addition ...

review 1: Yeah, so the ineffectual, limp-dick villain Mr. Dark is still around doing whatever it is he's supposed to be doing, so in one of the volume's only good moments, Pinocchio, with wheelchair and all, appoints himself the Professor X of a new superhero team of Fables based on his fa...

review 1: Always a pleasure to read anything from the land of the Fables. Beautiful artwork, sometimes uncomfortable characters (Goldilocks always grosses me out) and wonderfully dark stories with interesting ways of weaving the old together. This one was an interesting murder mystery, tru...

review 1: I thought this latest entry was a great return to form for this series after the last two lackluster volumes. ���Once he decided he needed to destroy you, you were basically DOOMED.��� ���I���ve never HEARD of such a creature. What are his powers?��� ���He READS. He read...

review 1: While this is a novel set in the fictional universe of the Fables comic books, it is extremely accessible to newcomers. While Bill Willingham is not the fanciest prose writer, this is a fast, entertaining read that does a good job weaving elements of various fairy tales into a co...

review 1: This was such an enjoyable read. I was worried with the story being based in the Fables graphic novel universe (which I haven't read) how well it would stand on its own, but my concern was for naught. This story is descriptive without being overbearing. The world is built with...

review 1: For a book that consists almost entirely of putting the pieces in place for the next big arc, this volume is surprisingly satisfying. And the reason for that is that everything is character driven. Every single character has a distinct voice and a distinct motivations.As the ti...

review 1: Jack, Mr Revise and the Fables of the retirement home go to war against the Bookburner. Mr Revise gives his inmates back their old powers and the story is saved by a literal deus ex machina. For some reason the front cover makes Jack look like Christopher Fowler (no idea why)Oh, ...

review 1: Universul Fables l-am descoperit total întâmplător. Am citit la un moment dat o recenzie la un joc făcut de TellTale Games – The Wolf Among Us care, cică pleca de la seria de mare succes Fables. Am jucat demo-ul, mi-a plăcut foarte mult și am luat decizia să caut și comics-urile....

review 1: This was a fun, satisfying issue. The fun: the Fables version of a standard superhero-team. The satisfying: Mister Dark's end. Though I considered Mister Dark a much creepier, more interesting antagonist than the Adversary, I am also glad the Fables-vs.-Mister-Dark situation was ...

review 1: Although perhaps not as thrilling as the Battle of Fabletown, or as emotional as the last ship out of the old kingdoms, this was a pretty satisfying end to the war against the Adversary. I worried for some of my old favorites, but in the end it was an unlikely character whose lo...

review 1: Com Fábulas se aproximando do fim e alguns arcos se fechando, Bill Willingham mostra como é bom em nos apresentar o fim de certos personagens, engrandecendo-os em suas últimas aparições com essa beleza singela que tantas vezes permeia a série. O mais admirável no entanto é como F...

review 1: This is the big finale that Fables has been leading up to since issue one. Overall, I was satisfied with how everything panned out, but certain parts, especially near the end, seemed rushed, making it a bit anti-climactic. I think giving the story more room to do what it needed t...

review 1: The war starts and ends. It reminded be of Sgt Rock and a bunch of other war comics. There is a great piece on a wooden air ship that just rocks. Even though you know the outcome of the war, you are never quite sure who will survive. That what seems to drive this series forward i...

review 1: [4.5]Not related to this issue specifically, but I would like to note that I've been reading some of the other reviews of this series, and I pretty much agree with all the political criticisms that turn up. This is stuff I either didn't exactly notice or sort of forgot about/over...

review 1: I bought volumes 1-5 of Fables from a comic book shop just off Times Square in NYC, volumes 6-8 I got from a comic book shop somewhere in Toronto/Hamilton on the way to the airport home. The other volumes I picked up in various Waterstones stores around the UK. However, nowhere I...
