Fables Compendium 1

Product Information

The Witch’s story was interesting, I liked how there were many different fairytales weaved within it, and how it gave a different perspective of a villain from those tales Meanwhile, trouble of a different sort brews at the Fables' upstate farm, where non-human inhabitants are preaching revolution...and threatening the carefully nurtured secrecy of Fabletown. On the other hand, I liked seeing Mowgli in the “Meanwhile in Fabletown…” segment! I already enjoy his character a lot and the mission he was given at the end ties in with some other characters (or one other character) that we haven’t seen in awhile… May, Michael.

Speaking of, the first issue with that artist contains some weird sexual themes that unfortunately taint the magnetic relationship between Bigby and Snow White. 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. I mean, nothing is cooler than Bigby chomping on a cigarette while staring down mob man Bluebeard with the command, "Obey me."Nights of Snowfall • Peter & Max: A Fables Novel • Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love • Cinderella: Fables Are Forever • The Unwritten Fables • The Literals • Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland • Fairest: In All The Land • Batman Vs. Bigby! A Wolf In Gotham The stuff that I really enjoyed (possible spoilers): the main story, the relationship between Bigby and Snow, any section dealing with the non-human Fables, the create spins on classic stories and interconnected lore, and the final arc with Boy Blue.

Snow White is the deputy mayor, the Big Bad Wolf is a sheriff, the Frog Prince is a janitor, and so on. #BillWillingham's Fables is a brilliant masterpiece through and through. nothing happens here the way you'd expect it. this is originally published as a monthly comic under DC's #Vertigo line so it's made for mature readers. some folktale legends go through divorce, torture, murder mysteries, revolutions, etc.

a b Hennon, Blake. and Beyond: Bill Willingham launches mythic convention", Hero Complex, Los Angeles Times (March 20, 2013). The war stories honestly were not that interesting to me and took me a long time to muddle through. I just don’t have a taste for reading about wars that really happened (unless it is in a memoir or historical fiction context.) As it was, these issues followed a character that I’m not overly invested in (sorry Bigby) and the effects on the Fables world at large did not seem to be too significant, so this was probably my lowest rated stretch of the Compendium… Good knight vs. bad knight. King Arthur vs. Morgan le Fay. Rose Red vs. Snow White. The two sisters are caught up in the roles Camelot has set for them, and now they're ready for battle. Pinocchio's Army", featured in "Fables: Rose Red", focuses on Pinocchio and Geppetto during the events of the "Rose Red" story arc.

A prestige format one-shot in which Boy Blue retells to Snow White the tale of the last stand against the Adversary's forces in the Homelands. The art is very hit or miss. Since it's a long running series, a lot of artists come and go and while most of them are not bad, some of the art is just really simple and uninspired. Some of them even had weird quirks, like one artist who draws Bigby with no mouth and another that can't really draw faces.One thing that doesn't change in the art: the buxom blondes of the fable world. Yes, I suppose the bland princesses and maidens of fairy tales are often the "fairest of the land", but dang, they do little to prompt any change in imagination. All of these women are Barbies, and with the exception of Rose Red, they dress like Barbie. Don't worry, Rose Red is wearing skin tight t-shirts. The Adversary calls a conference of the Imperial elite to decide what to do about Fabletown. Pinocchio has to face up to his divided loyalties. The Last Castle. L'ultimo castello è una storia inclusa nel Compendium ma non uscì nei numeri regolari del comic Fables. È posizionata dopo Barleycorn Brides e approfondisce anch'essa la guerra contro l'invasore delle terre delle fiabe. 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. La storia è splendida, con l'assedio al castello, la battaglia campale, e il tono assolutamente oscuro e triste che accompagna i ricordi di Boy Blue, che ironicamente viene considerato troppo giovane per suonare blues nei locali di New York nonostante si porti dentro una grande tristezza da secoli (amò alla follia Red Riding Hood ma lei non si salvò, mentre lui riuscì ad arrivare a Fabletown).

Much has probably been said about him. But if this ain’t your traditional hero arc I am not sure how else to define it. He’s the best of the best, with honors, and he sacrifices his own happiness for the sake and safety of others. He’s so great. His story is so well paced, it’s only rivaled by Snow’s, probably.
