Fables Compendium 1

Product Information

Very happy that i finally got to read this Vertigo series, which i still think has been the best comic imprint of them all.

while others felt really poorly handled (farm revolution felt like it's copying Animal Farm without understanding anything about it), but luckily all the poor stories are usually quite short and don't affect the overall experience. This book ends at a solid spot that leaves you craving more and ends at a pretty big and satisfying reveal. 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 thought that this was definitely a good addition to the series that propelled everything forward and raised the stakes for the volumes to come.

Tutte le sorprese disseminate da Willingham in questo story arc mi sono piaciute, ma mi riservo il giudizio finale per il futuro perché non so quanto posso credere alle morti dei vari prsonaggi che sappiamo essere più o meno immortali (dipendendo da quanto noi umani continuiamo a raccontare le loro storie). Taking many of the well-known and lesser well-known characters of fairy tales and myth and bringing them together under epic circumstances makes for a great read. 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. Tutto questo fa di Jack Be Nimble probabilmente la storia più deludente di quelle lette fino ad ora.

Cinderella Libertine (Issue 22) was actually placed before the March of the Wooden Soldiers arc in this Compendium but in the volumes it’s listed here so I’ll put my mini review here! We also got to see Snow adapt to life on the farm and life as a mother, with a visit from Bigby’s father the North Wind. This collection takes on a life of its own, ending with the story "The Dark Ages"-taking place post-war-but if the Fables knew the consequences, they might not have gone to war at all. If you are looking to collect the entire Fables storyline, including some of the spinoff graphic novels, then this is the way to do it.

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. L'universo di Fables parte da una premessa abbastanza semplice: le terre dei protagonisti delle fiabe sono state conquistate da un famigerato Adversary (Avversario), e quelli che si sono salvati da morte e distruzione si sono rifugiati in una comunità a New York. I liked Boy Blue as our main character here, and the cloak provided for some cool and cinematic moments too. Since this child got sent off to go find Bigby, I wonder if they will play a larger role in the future. Jack (quello della pianta di fagioli) se ne è scappato da Fabletown rendendosi conto del disastro a cui avrebbe portato l'elezione di Prince Charming a sindaco.

Fables is an American comic book series created and written by Bill Willingham, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint.Speaking of, the first issue with that artist contains some weird sexual themes that unfortunately taint the magnetic relationship between Bigby and Snow White. The morality in this one was really interesting again even though some of the bestiality connotations had me questioning these comics at one point. This is a world of fantasy that should be in the same pantheon of great literature such as Lord of the Rings and Sandman. Ci sono varie altre tracce di possibili future storie con Jack che se ne va (forse portandosi dietro alcuni tesori di Bluebeard), Fly che viene perdonato da Beast che gli leva così l'unico modo che aveva per vivere tranquillo, e Blue (ormai completamente guarito) che scompare pure lui. I'm rounding up to a full 5 stars for the hell of it and because it's one of those books where I would always be thinking about what would happen next, even when I set it down.
