Fables Compendium 1

Product Information

I thought that the underlying mystery/tale of Snow having seven children instead of the six we saw—and the seventh child being a rogue invisible wind spirit who accidentally killed some fables—was very interesting to see.

Get lost in the fantastic world of Bill Willingham's acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning series Fables, now collected in a beautiful and story-packed compendium! I can't recommend this book enough, and it deserves to be held up right alongside Vertigo's other crown jewel, THE SANDMAN.We start off with a (possible) murder mystery that does a good job of introducing the characters and the situation of this world. In September, Willingham announced that he had allowed the Fables IP to enter the public domain after growing disenchanted with DC, [9] [10] Willingham cited his frustration with DC Comics, stating that for years the company fought him on royalties, media rights, and various other issues. 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. I kept a running log of my thoughts on each "volume"/collected arc that was included in this first Fables Compendium, and let me tell you it is a doozy. But then again, DC has been little more than a dumpster fire of a company for some time now, so who is really that surprised?

Fables is a superb and constantly surprising run, but as with all long-running series, there are a few minor teething problems.

Posso immaginare alcuni dei possibili sviluppi futuri della serie, e sono curiosissimo di scoprire quelli e tutti gli altri che mi sorprenderanno! Bigsby and Stinky set off from Fabletown in Rose Red's blood-fueled sports car to track down the two abducted cubs. But I liked how it tied up all of the different plot lines that had been introduced, and subverted expectations in some ways.The majority of the interior pencil work was done by Mark Buckingham (who reportedly would have been given the writing reins if Willingham became unable to continue it).

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. He becomes a master of his tools, and is able to infiltrate the enemy’s vast fortress and succeed in his mission, only to accept when things didn’t go his way and be a gentleman about it. DC Comics denied Willingham's assertion that the franchise is public domain, stating that they continue to own the rights to the storylines, characters, and elements in the comics published by DC.

Bluebeard hatches a plot to rid himself of Bigby and Snow by enchanting them, and the homicidal Goldilocks attempts to kill the pair. The comic provides a mature and dark take on classic fairy tale characters through a variety of art and plot styles centered around the "Fabletown" community of New York City. Any time the story took a break to explore side or back stories, that’s when this books started to feel a bit like a slog. Still, the Greek tragedy of it all did resonate with me and made me feel so bad for them both at the end.
