The pages are almost closed yet still somehow starting?

Forgive the comparison to Invincible but the timing is just too close for my brain. I can’t help making the connections. This series is about to end yet it feels like there are still significant events popping out of nowhere and a lot of pieces being put in place. I’m worried that it won’t be wrapped up as well as I’d like.

Also, not sure if maybe I’m just less patient for it than when I first started reading this series, but there are way too many asides that go on for a length of time that really pulls you out of the flow and narrative.

I am curious how they wrap the Snow/Red and Wolf/Wolf kids plot. I just wish it felt more cohesive and built on top of each other. That said, this is still a really interesting read and find the character interactions to be a delight!

Starting to come out of the slump

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2014

The Fables have long been one of my favorite comic book series, and it's run for hundreds of issues by now. The problem with comic books is that they're very fast reading for me, which means that it's not worth it even to buy every collected book as they come out, but rather, to batch a few of them together and buy and read them all at once. That way, you don't lose too much context between story arcs.

Snow White, volume #19 starts off with a very weak series involving one of the minor characters of the series. It builds, however, to an assault on Snow White and Bigby Wolf, with a seeming end to one of the most beloved characters of the series. (This being fairy tale, we know not to take deaths as being final) What's interesting to me is that Willingham appears to be reviving one of the oldest enemies of the fables as it stands, which I hope he does not do, as it would be a weak retread.

Camelot, volume #20 is about Rose Red, Snow White's sibling and as the title suggests, an attempt to recreate the knights of the round-table. The story goes a bit meta, and doesn't end here, but has some very creative possibilities that leaves me hanging. The series has been through a bit of a slump recently, but with these two volumes the action is picking up and I'll be looking forward to the next few volumes with relish.

Recommended.

Worth it

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014

[NO SPOILERS] If you're a fan of the series, you're getting exactly what you expect. It's a wonderfully told continuation of the story and although it feels unfinished (since the saga isn't finished yet), if you've read to this point, it's definitely worth the purchase. I'm more than happy to add this to my Fables collection. I'd never claim this is the best of the series (The Good Prince has won that due to my affinity for Fly), but it's certainly worth having in your collection. The only complaint I could possibly have is that the story didn't end on anything solid. However, since it's the pre-penultimate book (there's probably a word for that), I can't fault it for setting up the finale.

Good read - to be continued

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2014

Another good book in the series, but no big conclusions. The stories will continue...

Main characters are Rose Red and Show White (and her cubs). Lots of the old favorites, time moves on as Fable Town moves into Mr Dark's castle.

Not much is wrapped up, and some interesting conflicts are shown. I'll avoid spoilers, even though there probably isn't much to spoil. Some of these future stories could be messy, I'll stay tuned...

Setting up the inevitable conflict in about as good a tale as you can read!

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015

How do you set up a disaster to come between two characters you really adore? Red Rose wants to revive Camelot, claim the Arthurian story lineage as her own. Her reasons are noble (literally) \, but her sister Snow White isn't keen on who she is associating with. Conflict is inevitable. Another great tale in the Fables line, best read from the beginning, but so wonderfully drawn and beautifully told. By the way, of all the fantastic covers for Fables, this is the one I wish I could own the original!

Better than volume 19

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is still a great series but the last volume, Babes In Toyland, left me a bit wanting. This volume is better, but still not as good as previous ones. I know Bill is planning more and his storytelling is deep, but I don't know if this series is showing its age, or I'm impatient to get going, but it just seems a bit slower and as a reader, I'm not as involved. I'll still keep reading, because I'm sure that some gigantic surprise is waiting.

Looks like Mr. Geppeto is going to be big trouble ...

Bill Willingham ties up some loose ends, but for every situation resolved, another thread of discontent raises its head. Looks like Mr. Geppeto is going to be big trouble in the future, meanwhile will Bigby return? Just a great addition to this awesome series.

Thumbs Up!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a meaty volume comprising ten issues of story. We flit all over the place from Geppetto’s machinations to Junebug’s discovery in the cellars of Fabletown. You will be glad there is the cast list in the front to remind you who everyone is.

Most of the stories are strong and the single issues set up plot points for the future. The two issue “Boys in the Band” at the end might build to something in the future but seems flat.

The art appears strong and consistent but there are a bevy of artists at work (great to see Gary Erskine), particularly in the sub plots. It looks like Vertigo have upgraded their something as the pages appear much more vibrant despite the matt paper.

Thumbs Up!

Will be sad to see this series end, but it's easy to see why the choice was made

Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is the penultimate Fables collection and while Willingham is one of the best writers working today (IMHO), his fatigue for this world he's created is starting to show. This is still an excellent and compelling storyline, but the story runs a little shallower than it used to (I've been reading since the first collection) and it all feels rushed and slightly forced. I eagerly await seeing how the series wraps up, and supporting Willingham's future endeavors, but I think the time is right to retire these characters, at least for now.

Buckingham, as always, provides fitting pencils for the story, so much so that the fill-in artists are noticeably *not* Buckingham.

Overall, still a great story about the characters we've grown to know and love, but one can readily see how continuing in this manner would only serve to lessen the fantastic world which has been made.

Ein weiterer wundervoller Fables Band. Wer die Reihe sammelt sollte sich diesen Comic definitiv holen. Immer wieder sehr schön gezeichnet und Story überzeugend.
