Review
"Instantly compelling." - Cinescape.com "Looks as good as it reads." - Comics Buyer's Guide "Tosses traditional fairy tales down the rabbit hole." - Wizard"

Product Description
"Fables" is the hugely imaginative story of a group of fairy tale characters exiled from their mythical homelands and forced into a secret existence in modern-day America. Featuring such familiar names as Snow White, Prince Charming and Bigby (formerly Big Bad) Wolf, this is hard-edged fantasy in the grand tradition of "The Sandman". Bigby Wolf has been missing since he and Snow White had a litter of shape-changing children...but he's needed more than ever. Mowgli, the only Fable with the tracking skills to find Bigby, embarks on a dangerous journey to bring Fabletown's former sherriff home...where the truly unexpected awaits him! Volume Eight of Bill Willingham's magical series is the best yet! Bill Willingham is a writer and artist whose work includes "Coventry and The Sandman Presents". He is currently writer/artist of "Shadowpact". Mark Buckingham has worked on many titles, including "Death: The Time of Your Life", "Batman: Shadow of the Bat", "Fables and Hellblazer". Steve Leialoha has been a professional illustrator for many years, and his work includes "Nevada" and the comics adaptation of The Hitchhiker's "Guide to the Galaxy".

5.0 out of 5 stars Whatever happened to Bigy Wolf?, 21 Jan 2007
By T. Noever "Author of the TETHYS series" (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well, herein we finally find out.

We've been hanging in there, pining away for more stories about the fates of the central characters in this ensemble cast, whom we met at the very beginning of the first story in the series. Ever since _The Mean Seasons_, when Bigby went away because the only person whose smell he likes (Remember he's a wolf: The Wolf!) couldn't decide to throw her lot in with him. Understandably, I suppose, because she was a practical girl and, let's face it, their history together had its ups and downs. She also had so cubs to take care of, and there were political issues with having Bigby around.

So we waited and waited (well, _I_ did!) and followed Boy Blue into the Homelands to reveal the Adversary, and the fates of an assortment of others dealing with folks from other cultures--all the while chuckling at Willingham's built-in jokes, very often of the political kind, and usually with a strong libertarian slant.

In _Wolves_ too, there a lot of implied politics and social commentary, but it all fades into insignificance before the central issues: where's Bigby, what's he been doing, and how is this thing with Snow going to play out? _Is_ it going to play out? Whatever happened to the aberrant 'Zephyr' cub of Bigby and Snow's; the one that kills living creatures because it likes their breath?

As a bonus there's also another story, involving that sexy spy, Cinderella; who is like a female James Bond, and so much nicer than that psycho Goldilocks (whom we're sure to meet again one day, even though she had an axe buried in her head last time we saw her plunge into a river).

As usual, the action is rough and tough, with few punches pulled; though in general the tone of the stories is gentler than those compiled into the previous two books. As fairytales for adults go, there is nothing better, and I'm of a mind, now that the story has gone the way it goes, to start the whole series all over again. It's great bedtime literature, and if, like me, you grew up with fairy tales, it's a homecoming of sorts. Thing is, in real life you can never go back--and often you really don't want to either--but FABLES on the whole takes me back to something familiar at the same time as it is firmly facing into the future.

On a purely professional basis and since I write novels and scripts myself, it was instructional to have the entire script to one of the 'episodes' collected into this volume added at the end. Been meaning to tackle this kind of medium myself, and for those similarly inclined there are valuable pointers for method and style.

5.0 out of 5 stars In which Heroes and Heroines Resolve their Difficulties and Live Happily Ever After, 10 Feb 2007
By R. A. Caton "Arcaton" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is it folks! the conclusion of a tale involving 50 issues of the original graphic novel.... at last a happy ending and the resolution of the relationship between Snow and Bigby.
Also how Fabletown delivered a short sharp shock to the Adversary...
This one holds together beautifully. After the duplicity and tragedy in the earlier books, we have a wonderfully heartwarming finish whilst leaving a few hooks concerning other Fables that will hold the interest for subsequent books.
I'm glad I bought this one!
