Part 1 of the 4-part story, "The Year After"! It's a family affair as Snow White goes into labor, and the magical nature of her pregnancy becomes an event that no one expected. Plus, the results of the election for Fabletown's new mayor are in...and the winner may surprise you!
Mark Buckingham remains my favourite artist that works on this series, and given he has provided the art for the majority of the issues, I think it's pretty safe to look upon him as the book's regular artist. His cartoonish style does a fine job of capturing the fantasy elements of this title, from the parallel images of the voting lines, to the sense of wonder that the final page offers up as Snow's children put on their little show. There's also a great double page spread as we see Old King Cole and Prince Charming offering up their reactions to the early rumours regarding the final vote count. There's also a number of fun little details, from Snow's reaction to the news that the doctor offers up after her first infant is born, to our first look at Prince Charming after we learn who won the race. There's also a great little moment where we see Old King Cole react to the final outcome. Read Full Review
