Read about Thirty some issues of this so far. It's been pretty fun. It's a little clunky at times and the character presence distribution is awful. The animal farm Fables feature very sparsely. And it's a shame too because there are some great characters there. But it's still interesting.
The book seems to encourage readers to research the lesser known Fables it sometimes features, such as Redcross Knight, Reynard, Baba Yaga so on. The art is nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done.
The plot though it meanders at times, is for the most part forward moving which is nice to have in a comic book these days I think. It's a book that's not afraid to kill it's characters (though the characters themselves are sometimes very resistant to that haha) and does so with regularity. The most obviously enjoyable element of the book is just how it modernizes these ancient fables. After centuries, Pinocchio is still just a boy who been waiting forever just to hit puberty and his chance to get laid, Beauty and the Beast have regular needs for marriage counseling, Prince Charming is really just a smug dick who just shacks up with random women and steals their money.
The threat of The Adversary is exciting and Boy Blue's account of the last stand against his forces in the Homelands is brutal, bloody, and fierce, and quite depressing. And I'm sure his inevitable invasion of Fabletown will be intense.
Haha, but whatever, good book, hope it stays good.
