I read this for one of my summer classes. We had to read and annotate 10 comics/graphic novels. Here's the annotation I wrote for that class: Fables: Legends in Exile: In which classic characters, exiled from their homeland and forced to survive amongst the mundanes in New York, find themselves em...
The characters of our most beloved fairy tales and stories exist and live in exile. Centuries ago their various kingdoms and worlds - from Oz to the Great Forest - were invaded and conquered by the Adversary, a sinister and apparently unstoppable force. After a time, the Fable refugees banded togeth...

The artwork was well done and I enjoyed the subtle clues in the pictures. I did enjoy "A Wolf in the Fold". The writing was ...
