Don't come back until you've had a big adventure! What's the worst that could happen? In order to get a bit of work done, Bigby has sent his young ones off into the Black Forest, but to Snow, this only spells danger. How well equipped are her cubs to face down the creatures that lurk within the woods?
This title should feel magical, and Fables #153 does, but it does so in some of the most human ways. The real magic comes from the pens of Buckingham, Leialoha, Loughridge and Willingham. One can feel the excitement building, it's just a shame it takes a month between issues. Read Full Review
The series has been good since the start of the new run, although it has yet to reveal much about its larger narrative. This issue feels like something new, with a truly killer cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Buckingham delivers some beautiful art in this issue. I love the visual style of the issue and the backgrounds continue to capture my attention. Read Full Review
The child that gets the most time is that of Ambrose Wolf who meets a bookworm in the woods who invites the avid reader back to his home to see the creature's marvelous collection of books. Ambrose spends more time than expected in the home of the worm whose true visage is a bit more terrifying that how he introduced himself to Ambrose and who has darker plans for the boy than simply sharing a love of reading. A bit of a middle issue to the larger arc, and not as much Cinderella, but still plenty for fans to enjoy. Read Full Review
For the most part, Fables hasn't lost any of its quality, although it's still unclear how all these dangling plots are meant to collide even a quarter of the way through the new revival. Read Full Review
Mark Buckingham makes this series.
As four young cubs go through adventures, we see old and new faces alike face all too new fates.
Fables is bringing the humor, adventure, magic, and horror in a revival that fits right next the best of the series that came before it.
