Just wanted to share a review I've written of the first trade paperback collection of the acclaimed Vertigo series Fable.
Here's a short except:
"...Fables are fairytale characters from stories that we've all heard in our younger days. Characters like Snow White, Bluebeard, Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk live alongside humans, referred to as Mundanes, in our world. These Fables escaped from their Homeland to our world after their respective universes were plundered and conquered by the Adversary."
"...The story starts with Jack reporting to Fabletown's Sheriff, Bigby Wolf (from the big bad wolf who blew the pigs' houses down fame) that Rose Red's apartment had been violently ransacked, with blood splashed all over the scene and Rose Red herself missing. With Snow White, Fabletown's deputy mayor, Wolf begins the hunt for the perpetrator and the missing, and presumably dead, Fable."
Anyone read it? What are your thoughts?
