Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bill Willingham never fought a desperate and losing battle in a good cause, never contributed to society in a meaningful way, and hasn't lived a life of adventure, but he's had a few moments of near adventure. At some point in his life Bill learned how to get paid for telling scurrilous lies to good people, and he's been doing it ever since. He lives in the wild and frosty woods of Minnesota.

    [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.

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 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
    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.

    On est contents que Rose Red soit sortie de sa léthargie, mais la voir en chevalière leadeuse et prétentieuse comme au début de la série est un peu fatigant....
