This book was a very important volume in the series in relation to the Snow/Bigby storyline. I gave it five stars because the storytelling is really awesome. I was really surprised at the direction Willingham took with their offspring. It totally makes sense. There is some angst associated with the situation because things aren't pointing towards a happy ever after so far for a couple who is starting to become one of my mega ships, especially in comic books. I just love the heck out of both Snow...

Very good! So I got this recently off an online comic shop which gave me a good price for this, and like always whenever I finish one of these volumes, I always kick myself for not buying these books more frequently! So the main story for this book takes place after the last volume where Prince Charming is running for Mayor in Fable Town while Bigby and Snow are expecting their new borns! The book firsts starts us off with the first three issues being short stories. The first story is fun with C...

The best protest signs ever:NOT SO CHARMING NOW!PC out!Someday my PRINCE will GO!!!A CHARMING LIAR IS STILL A LIAR!This volume felt like a weird mix-and-match of a few stories that didn't really connect. I loved Bigby and Snow's story so much, but the rest of the stories were just okay.Again, wonderful artwork!Read this volume simply for Bigby and Snow's floating babies because they were definitely the highlight. 3.75

This series itself is so intriguing and full of drama and mystery. I love it. 💕The story follows the happenings of Snow’s birth and the election for Fablestown’s new mayor.The plot was really interesting and had a more serious undertone due primarily the situation with Snow and Bigby’s babies. The characters keep developing, especially for Snow and Bigby as they have become parents. It was nice but sad seeing Snow trying to cope and deal with her new babies; while at the same time trying to keep...

I can't believe I used to dismiss graphic novels/comics as something I could never be remotely interested in. I would have missed out on this amazing world with these amazing characters if I'd kept up like that. Ugh it's just such a cool concept.This felt like a really important installment in the series. I didn't like the last volume too much, but this one was back with the emotional punches and of course, lots of Snow and Bigby. I have a feeling a lot of things are about to happen...

Another excellent outing by Fables. We find out that Snow White and Bigby have had six, or is it seven?, children. The children will be powerful but five do not look human so Snow goes to the Farm, where Bigby can not go. We also get the tale of Bigby during his service in WW2 and it's a well done story. But the majority of it is about the kids and meeting their grandfather, Bigby's father, and learning their new powers. As usual Fables is an excellent departure from the usual superhero comic. T...

This volume had some shifts in artwork which I wasn't a huge fan of. I kept getting distracted and pulled out of the story by seeing a new character drawn in such a weird way, but luckily this died down after the first few issues within this and I adjusted.I liked getting to see Snow White's storyline within this becuase a lot of her life is about to change and she is one of my favourite characters within Fabletown. We also see a war stories issue which I wasn't a huge fan of becuase I don't rea...

After two very strong volumes we fall down a level. So this volume kind of closes a big chapter. The kids and Snow White leave fabletown to go to the farm. Then we also get into a two part backstory of Bigby. Last but not least we see the fallout of the new mayor, more on the farm, more about snonwhites kids, and then of course ends in a cliffhanger that we have to hope for the best. Good: Enjoyed the start and the end a lot. Anything with the farm, the kids, snow white, and Mr. Wolf are all gre...

Big fun, and great to rely on a public library to fill the gaps in Fables sequences. Highly recommended.

Remember that time when Bigby got a weird WWII flashback story and Snow got put out to pasture to raise a litter of cubs? Yeah, that kinda sucked.

They really change things up in this volume. King Cole is voted out of office and the government changes. The new people really don't know what's going on so everything is changing. Snow has her litter of babies and she is out of a job.Snow's babies can fly. Bigby is the son of the North wind. How are them apples? People are unhappy with Prince charming. There is plenty of action and mystery and characters doing all kinds of things.I feel this series is doing some great work. They are taking the...

Disaster in the Mayors office post election, babies and the North Wind.

2.5 stars - SpoilersDidn't enjoy this one as much as the last volume. I liked the Charming, Mr North, Cinderella, and Rose parts, the rest not so much. Cinderella turned out to be quite an interesting character, with all her secret spy work. Bigby on the other hand went from being one of the best characters to one of the worst, his war hero past was so boring and cliché. And his hissy fit about Snow and the kids moving to the Farm was ridiculous. Did he really expect Snow to move to the wilderne...

Volume 5 picks up in the aftermath of the invasion of Fabletown. This collection ushers in a great deal of changes, but first we discover a secret agent that Bigby has working, and how ruthless the big bad mofo will be to protect everyone else.We then get a fun mini interlude, featuring Mr. Wolf during WWII as a spy, fighting the Nazis and a certain famous monster...who went to pieces.The election results usher in changes, as Snow gives birth to about 6 babies, only to discover a major obstacle

In which an election is fought and won; a family is created; a murderer runs amok and a Fable seeks his princess. More delicious Fables in the '21st century' storytelling by Bill Willingham and co. - nothing much else to add, bar; come and join me and get entranced by this very well thought out and created constructed reality. This volume sees very little action after the Adrenalin rush of the Battle of Fabletown, and sets the scene and landscapes for the rest of the series. It also gives the re...

It felt like this volume is setting every character up for the future. With interesting story arcs. Charming and his Staff are failling so far at their job. Snow is figuring out How to be a single mom....this is fun

So happy to have re-read this! There's so much going on and I'm enjoying all the characters. If you haven't read this series I definitely recommend starting it.

Issue #22 introduces you to Cinderella the spy. This one is a good story.The Mean Seasons jumps to issue #28 and then sins by having page after page of annoying cursive narration. Blech. I stalled out midway through and went to go read something that didn't hurt my eyes. I get that it's a diary from WWII, but after a few pages of it, I was nauseous. Plus, Nazi bad guys. I feel like it should be fair to deduct a star every time an author uses Nazis or Confederates/southern rednecks as villains. E...

3.5 starsThis volume focused more on drama and making drastic changes for the sake of drama more then it focused on characters or plot. Nonetheless, the art is still great and it’s well written as always (when it was revealed there were seven all along I nearly cried). Still, when it comes to fantasy stories I don’t take well to change that’s rooted in “moving on” and abandoning the exciting and dangerous part of the characters lives in favour of something more ordinary.

Pretty good volume!
