This volume of Fables is definitely for readers who have been following Bigby Wolf and Snow White's romance. I think that it was very satisfying overall. I do have to agree with one of my fellow GRs friends/reviewers that Willingham committed the cardinal sin of an estranged couple, and that did bot...
Genre: Supernatural / Horror / Fantasy Year Published: 1992 Year Read: 2012 Series: The Sandman #5 Publisher: Vertigo Comics Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series just keeps getting better and better every time I read them and the fifth volume “A Game of You” definitely does not disappoint me! This t...

And get this... her hand...
Bigby! I missed him especially after learning his tale in Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall. In the trade I had it had the script for the whole Bigby mission and aftermath. [spoiler] It described the proposal scene as: They kiss. This the truest of true love's kisses since the beginning of time. I...
Like a chill January day, this is a melancholy novel. The story is simple - a quest story, tried and true - but it's also a reflection on identity and dreaming and how we handle those two things as we get older.
