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...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
