Well that was unexpected.
After the odd left turn in the last volume Fables gets back on track with volume 11 and the continuation of the Mr. Dark story line. Highlights include how Mr. Dark got stuck in that box, Rose Red coming to terms with her history, and an epic duel between Mr. Dark and Bellflower.
3.5 stars
I never tire of this excellent series. Witches, Rose Red and the evil Mr. Dark. What's not to like? Highly recommended.
This eleventh deluxe oversized hardcover collects a whopping 15 issues of Fables, issue #100 itself is special in that it's 104 pages long. So this is quite a large collection, naturally there's a great many stories in this one. I'd definitely recommend picking this up if you've felt the Dark Man cycle which started in #75 has been dragging, as things pick up pace and it feels like Fables returns to form. It doesn't quite live up to the Adversary cycle, but it does feel like Fables got back on t...
Man, this book is like the authors were trying to apologise for the previous one. Story packed, action packed, and with beautiful artwork as well.So, it starts of with Witches, a series only by title related to the powerful women of the 13th floor, but giving us some Game of Thrones level action in the politics of running an off-the-books-magical-in-the-middle-of-the-mundy-world farm. There is struggle to assume leadership of the farm as Rose Red still feels bad (I really do not like her charact...
Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham's march towards Fables #100 was simply amazing. We get two fantastic arcs with a great interlude. I loved Frau Totenkinder, Geppetto's machinations, Snow and Rose Red's twisted history, Bufkin's herosim, an epic duel, and even more. The plot is glorious. The dialogue is perfect. Mark Buckingham's art is ideal for this series. Overall, excellent.
There's never going to be one of these that I don't like, I think. Nevertheless it took me longer than other books of the same series to get through. I can't even say why really, though I suspect it might be partly to do with Rose Red (yeah, yeah, no spoilers).
Boxing Days (86). It's nice to get some background on Mr. Dark, and the Boxers are quite a neat creation, but this is otherwise a story without any surprises or twists [5+/10].Witches (87-91). This is very much the middle of the Mr. Dark arc, meaning that it's all setup. Nonetheless, it's an interesting setup. Bufkin's story is the best, because he gets exciting action dealing with the problems creating when Mr. Dark let all the monsters out. Meanwhile, the eponymous Witches of the arc title giv...
After the confusing diversion in Book Ten (The Great Fables Crossover, useless to read without knowledge of the Jack of Fables series, which hasn't been published in a Deluxe version yet), this Book gets the main Fables storyline back on track, adding a large number of developments culminating the showdown with Mister Dark in special issue 100 - every page pulled me in to the story, and made me want to keep reading until I was done. A great piece of storytelling.
“I call you Capture, Refuge, Damnation...and Regret. And Burden. So many names. For so terrible an engine.” Frau TotenkinderEasily the best fables book yet!
There are still some great moments storywise, but they are split further apart. Still good enough to be read not only just for finishing the series.
Excellent. Several good stories in this longer compendium. Bufkin is trapped in the Fabletown business office, where he battles Baba Yaga and a powerful djinn. The coven of witches at the Farm, listen to Totenkinder's plan to deal with the Dark Man until she mysteriously disappears to seek an ally. Things go wrong in Haven, following a baseball game and King Ambrose has a very difficult decision with potentially dangerous consequences. Rose Red, a basket case Boy Blue's death, finally is dragged...
After huge disappointment with the Fables Crossover, I had the whole series on-hold for a while, but it was worth to come back to it. It's strange how it took such a long time to get to the past of Snow White and Rose Red, but it was worth the wait. Some of the small funniest bits involve Pinocchio, who hasn't really been one of my favourites, but I guess there's a reason for it. ...and anyway, Frau Totenkinder!!!
4.5⭐️Really enjoyed all stories in this volume!
Binge-reading. Series review to follow.That said, Bellflower!
Fables gets better and better with each volume
Another solid volume, this one finding Rose Red coming to terms with her past, the Fables readying and going to fight the Dark One and a fun little timeout with Fly Catcher. This one goes up too 100 and it's really says something that it manages to be maybe more interesting than the first 50 and never feeling like it's spinning it's wheels.
The number of powerful women in folklore is amazing, and this volume brings a few of them forward.Rose Red finally has her story told while we get further details about Snow and Frau Totenkinder. A true power trio.
"What a paradise this will become when my shadow drapes fully over it."Epic story. Epic heart-to-heart. Epic confrontation. Epic cliff hanger. This massive edition has it all!
