pickOkay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.
pickContinued the Fables graphic novel. I really like these. Can‘t wait to read the next book.

pickStandard of excellence maintained. Fairy tale noir with about the same ratio of scandalous machinations, sex and violence seen in the first book in the series. Pleasantly surprised by the turn to full lore mode in the last illustrated story and even more so by the short story included at the end. 1/2
The Big Bad Wolf and Dracula are pals?! I love it! 😄
Fables version of Robin Hood: Less Errol Flynn, More 'Green Arrow and Hulk Hogan had a muscle-y baby'. 💪🏹
pickI love the Fable graphic novels. They remind me so much of the Once Upon a Time tv show.

pickI love how with each new book the focus changes to a different character and we get to learn about their past and what part they might play in the future of Fabletown. It helps to make the overall story more intense and complex and I'm becoming quite attached to these characters, which worries me because I know the story is building up to break my heart.
Still though, the writing and artwork are so beautifully done that the pain will be worth it.
I've been reading this series for a few months now. The TV show Once Upon a Time is loosely based on these characters. Prince #Charming isn't as dreamy in this series as he is in the Disney movie. He's a bit selfish and very narcissistic.
