'Fables' hooked me early on, but this is where the story really took off. There is upset in the community with Prince Charming gaining ground in his campaign against King Cole. There is good news, however. Red Riding Hood, not seen since the last ship departed the homelands for Earth 200~ years prev...

At the outset, we hear Boy Blue's story of fleeing the Homelands on the last boat out during which he unwittingly leaves behind his love, Red Riding Hood. When Red shows up in Fabletown, there is at first jubilation as no Fable has escaped in centuries, followed quickly by suspicion, and events that...

I was really looking forward to reading this after the huge bomb dropped at the end of Fables, Vol. 3: Storybook Love. What an interesting plot reveal, and I was wondering how Willingham would follow up with it in this volume. It took me a while to get to it, and I ended up gobbling up the following...

March of the Wooden Soldiers is definitely my favorite volume so far. I liked this series, which started out kind of slow, but has grown into one of best I've read in awhile. I've been meaning to read these for so long. But honestly, I couldn't see how fairy tale characters brought into modern times...

The ever addictive graphic novel series of Fables is one of the smartest and most fun graphic series I've read in a long time. The one issue is that it's not always structured or coherent fun (at least not yet). That said due to the continuing strength of the fractured fairytale series I fully recom...

There's something really special about these Fables graphic novels. There's nothing in particular here that interests me over something like Batman or a horror comic, but I continue to want to read them. The artwork is so well drawn, and they are so well written that it's hard to not want to read th...

The stories are getting somewhat better and I'm getting to care more about the main characters, but this is still not really grabbing me.

This might be my favorite volume yet. It gets more into larger fantasy tropes (battles! goblins! dark emperors!) but all with the weird twist that the series puts on everything. It's not perfect, I'm starting to wonder why it's set in New York when it seems that the writer (or maybe it's the artist'...

This series just keeps getting better. (And I know the wooden soldiers are supposed to be the bad guys, but seriously, they are so fucking funny. It isn't just me, right? Why are they so funny?)
