Fables Compendium 1

Product Information

Standouts beside The Last Castle include 1001 Nights of Snowfall and the last arc in this compendium, Homelands, all of which provide truly fascinating worldbuilding. I thought I would hate the “Jack Be Nimble” double issue because I still DESPISE Jack for the Confederate hat.

That being said, the entire March of the Wooden Soldiers arc felt a lot more reminiscent of the first two arcs of this series in terms of pacing and overall plot series relevance! Well, they’ve been exiled from what they refer to as the Homelands, which one by one were over-run by the mysterious Adversary. Lo fa attraverso i ricordi di Boy Blue nel giorno dell'anniversario della fuga degli ultimi sopravvissuti attraverso l'ultima porta rimasta per arrivare nel nostro mondo, dopo una battaglia campale in cui molti (tra cui Robin of the Woods e Red Riding Hood, cioè Robin Hood e Cappuccetto Rosso) si sacrificarono per salvarli.

It includes a brief comic-book story that deals with Pete and Bo Peep's adventures after the events in the novel. I thought that this was definitely a good addition to the series that propelled everything forward and raised the stakes for the volumes to come. Most of the characters who appear in Fables are from European stories, the major exceptions being Arabian fables and American fables (from the fable world of "Americana", appearing in Jack of Fables, such as Paul Bunyan, Black Sambo [now known as Sam] and the Lone Ranger). I appreciated the quick pacing, and the resolution to this mystery was satisfying and made a lot of sense with what we had learned so far while also remaining a surprise.I will definitely continue reading this series, but I’m going to need a little bit of a break before jumping into the next volume. Bill Willingham's FABLES was a casualty of my massive reading backlog and my switch in 2011 from monthly comic books to trade-waiting.
