Gli autori hanno sapientemente evitato il trappolone del "Abbiamo dei personaggi prefabbricati, facciamoli comportare come dei personaggi prefabbricati", preferendo invece e giustamente sviluppare ogni membro del cast al suo pieno potenziale, dare loro un ruolo preciso nell'economia di una serie che è affollata di guest star per ogni tipo di fan. Telltale Games developed The Wolf Among Us, [60] an episodic graphic adventure game based upon Fables.

Meanwhile, trouble of a different sort brews at the Fables’ upstate farm, where nonhuman inhabitants are preaching revolution… and threatening the carefully nurtured secrecy of Fabletown. not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but not near as interesting or engaging as I had expected.I can't recommend this book enough, and it deserves to be held up right alongside Vertigo's other crown jewel, THE SANDMAN.

La prosa di Willingham riesce a rispettare l'atmosfera di Fables anche senza i disegni, ed è affascinante entrare nella mente di Wolf per capire le sue motivazioni e i suoi istinti predatori. Here's hoping the slow gutting of DC Comics by their corporate overlords allows for the remaining two volumes in this compendium series to be published. There does lay an odd flavor to a lot of the ideology in this series: there are an uncomfortable amount of SA scenes (though not too too much, and usually not super explicit), there appears to be a side against socialism, and emphasis seems to be placed on machismo raw power, much to my guilty pleasure.

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). There were many twists and turns just in the span of these couple dozen pages and honestly each of these twists took me by surprise! Fables is an American comic book series created and written by Bill Willingham, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. while others felt really poorly handled (farm revolution felt like it's copying Animal Farm without understanding anything about it), but luckily all the poor stories are usually quite short and don't affect the overall experience. Also random note that Snow White seemed to be drawn as possibly Eastern Asian in this artist’s style which was interesting since she was portrayed as white previously in the comics.
