This comic was a brilliant read! The
murder, the lies, the suspense, and the alteration of our favorite childhood fairy tales twisted into 119 pages of comics.
The graphics had the classic comics drawing. Each character had their own spice. They were all different from the characters we remember as our childhood fairy tales The plot was breath-taking; I was at the edge of my seat. When the murder was solved it had the moment of "Holy crap! I didn't expect that! Look at all the details! How could I not seen that!" Pure magic, kind of remind me of the Detective Conan comics where you just fan girls at the detective skills.
There are a million terrific graphic novels out there, but Fables stands out. Collected in over 18 volumes, it's the story of your favorite fairy tale characters exiled in our world, and it's got it all: romance, war, tragedy, betrayal and redemption. Sweeping and grand and beautifully illustrated, if you haven't started reading comics before but you want to, this is a great gateway.
A great read with wonderful art from start
to finish. .
When I'm pressed for time and want to read
something great but quick. I turn to comic books.
Book Description
When a savage creature known only as the
Adversary conquered the fabled lands of legends and fairy tales, all of the
infamous inhabitants of folklore were forced into exile.
Disguised among the normal citizens of
modern-day New York, these magical characters created their own secret
society-within an exclusive luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West
Side-called Fabletown. But when Snow White's party-girl sister, Rose Red, is
apparently murdered, it is up to Bigby, Fabletown's sheriff, and a reformed and
pardoned Big Bad Wolf, to determine if the culprit is Bluebeard, Rose's
ex-lover and notorious wife killer, or Jack, her current live-in boyfriend and
former beanstalk-climber.
