I thought Snow's characterization here was not believable, since she was so tough in the first book - I mean, she's basically the mayor, so how could she afford to be so naive about what was happening? But I liked finding out about how Fables immortality works, and seeing the farm.

The second installment of the "Fables" series is more gruesome than the first, and, for me personally, not quite as enjoyable, mostly because I had trouble placing some of the characters like the fox and some of the other revolutionaries. I found it interesting that the author chose Goldilocks to be...

Better than volume 1, enough-so that I forked out for number 3.

I liked this one more than the first volume. The first one was too heavily based on on introducing the characters while this one had more of a plot to it.

I was all set and ready to give this five stars until the last couple of pages. The pacing of the last issue as a whole felt a little off, but mostly it just got a little to schmaltzy there at the end. Can't wait to pick up the rest of this series, though. Why are graphic novels so damned expensive?

After reading (and being totally unimpressed by) the first volume of this series, I decided to give "Fables" another shot, simply because I wanted to understand why this is acclaimed widely as an amazing comics series. After the underwhelming first volume I was weary, but still hopeful. And, as it t...

I use to really read comic books, and then the writing in the ones I read decline while the price went up. Since then, I have periodically brought comics, usually "classic" ones such as Watchmen or literary comic book . . sorry I mean graphic novels such as Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Blee...
