Cinderella is a Fable, an ex-wife of Prince Charming, and an internationally active spy. She's been a spy since shortly after she came over from the Land of the Fables, with Bigby Wolf as her spymaster. This is an incredibly fun graphic novel. Cinderella has plenty of energy and authority as a spy. She uses her benignly pretty debutante and shoe store owner facade as a weapon along with others in her arsenal. This Fable can take care of herself and get out of some of the tightest spots. She even...

She's been at the top of the spy-trade for centuries, and no spy ever has had so much experience and training, yet I feel none of the Cinderella Fables' writers truly capture that. I'd expect some off-key bad-ass shit from someone with that much experience, thus always felt underwhelmed by how the series portrayed this needlessly one-dimensional character. In her first solo volume Cinders teams up with Aladdin and a few other Fabletown 'assets' to look into the smuggling of magical items from th...

I've been reading Fables all along and I do love the concept of Cinderella's character, but the story itself was disappointingly insubstantial. I've really enjoyed the Arabian Knights fables and Aladdin was a great choice as co-star, so there's that.The second half seemed rushed, which was a greater weakness than its predictability. The side plot back at the shoe store was just annoying, however classically-based. Not least because the staffer provoked zilch sympathy. The flashbacks to past cape...

It's been quite some time since I read the last fables book and I thought it should be time to finish the series. Cinderella is like the Black Widow of the Fables world and here she meets an unlikely foe. This is a strong spinoff from the main series, much like Jack of Fables and it keeps the action moving throughout. The twist at the end was quite good and I never seen it coming. The series has kept a steady quality throughout and I'll aim to finish this before the end of year as it is a series...

So, it's been established in the Fables series that Cinderella is seriously kick-ass. This just proves her awesomeness - really enjoyed this.

Not sure if I believe in happily ever after, either. Cinderella is far better than a princess, she is a spy. Her mission sends her to Dubai, where she encounters the mysterious Aladdin. Will these two be able to work together and will the tension break them apart?I must say I appreciated the cameo by Fairy Godmother. Retells really get me going, especially when they are well done. The reason for my lower rating is that I prefer the imagery and storytelling of Fables more.

Bill Willingham's Fables was a runaway success beyond anyone's dreams. It'll go down in comics history with Sandman and Preacher, no doubt, even though it ran its course 60 issues ago. Spin-offs were inevitable but I never expected one to be 'Cinderella'. It isn't awful. Not completely. But it is altogether too smirking and far too trite. As if it thought it would continue to sell itself based on the popularity of the Fables mythos. That could be the case, could have been the case, but not to me...

I like Fables but I don't like Fables if you know what I mean. I got upset about the direction that Snow was being taken so I have paused in reading the series, but I picked this up because it is supposed good fun.And it is good fun. Cinderella kicks butt. Nice and enjoyable. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right.

Originally reviewed hereSpoilers!: This review contains some minor spoilers for the Fables series, as does the book itself. Chronologically, this story takes place after Fables: War and Pieces (#11). So go read those first!I know what you’re thinking people...This is all very From Russia With Love. And you’re right! Cinderella has come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass...and she’s all out of bubble gum.Cinderella is Fabletown’s #1 bad ass spy. She’s so skilled in skulduggery she makes Bond lo...

This the first mini-series featuring Cinderella from Bill Willingham's wonderful Fables series penned by Chris Robertson. When the Fabletown sheriff needs a spy for a spot of espionage he doesn't call Bond - I don't think he'd be too keen on tackling tooled up polar bears. He doesn't call Bourne either - he wouldn't last 5 minutes going undercover in the land of Ultima Thule where frowns are a capital offense. He calls somebody with a little more vintage in the game. He calls Cinderella. This is...

I loved this. It's so good! It's a simple concept: Cinderella is a spy and is trying to find magical items that could be used as weapons if they got into the hands of mundane humans. If you're not familiar with the series Fables this is a sort of spin off, but you don't need to have read any of the series to enjoy this. Basically: Fairy Tale characters live in the real world and came from their world into our own because of a war against The Advesary an Evil Overlord that overran the Fairy Tale

A fun, light read. I enjoyed this spin-off much more than Jack of Fables - mainly because I find Cinderella to be a much more likable character than Jack. The artwork was nothing short of beautiful, particularly the covers by James Jean - I've come to expect nothing less from the Fables series.Still, the story itself was a bit of a let-down and not much of a page-turner... Also, I found the characters "Puss in Boots" and the "Fairy Godmother" resembled their "Shrek" counterparts too closely for

Fun. This is how to do a spinoff. After the yucky taste in my mouth from reading the end of the Jack of fables series this was a great 6 issue mini series to dive into. I've always loved Cindy as a character and in this series she takes center stage. Add to the fact that the story is well paced, the art is wonderful...wow don't get me started on the covers, it's just a good read.

Cindy is so sassy! I love the Fables series and all its spin-offs. For those that love fractured fairytales, I highly recommend but be warned younger readers, there are adult themes.

This was so awesome!! Such a unique take on the Cinderella story and the whole fairytail universe. A must read for sure. Very comical and action-packed. A great book :)

In this spinoff Cinderella is not the typical Cinderella I have come to known through the years, as it takes place after the whole dealings with the lost glass slipper, marrying this prince etc. Cinderella is now a divorced spy that owns a shoe shop called The Glass Slipper! And get this... her handler is Beast from Beauty and the Beast!But let me not give everything away. Cinderella goes on one hell of an adventure with a swoon worthy hero (think flying carpets and Arabian nights) and some inte...

Cinderella, from the Fables comics, is a spin off from the main Fables comics. While it is not really necessary to have read the original series, I do think it would help.Cinderella is doing a covert operation for Fabletown. She is looking for magical items that may inadvertently end up in the hands of "mundies". This takes her to Dubai where she runs into Alladin, who is doing something similar for the Arabic Fables. The two of them find a trio of Fables are selling these goods and buying weapo...

I read the first few Fabletown books, and then let the series slide thinking I would come back to it later. I'm really wishing now that I had kept up with what was going on, because I have a feeling Cinderella's story would have been even better if I'd had a little more background info on the goings-on in that world.However, it was still fairly easy to piece together enough of the story to enjoy this book. Also, had this been my first introduction to Fable town, I still would have loved it, beca...

The Fables universe has long been one of my favorite continuing comic stories. The depth and breadth of the characters, the fantastic storylines, and the imagery is absolutely fantastic. And then I heard about this spin off of Cinderella into her own short little series and I was hesitant. It wasn’t Bill Willingham writing it…would it be good? Needless to say my fears were unfounded as Chris Roberson creates a fantastic story for Cinderella, Fabletown’s ultimate spy. The story is well written an...

Fun. Definitely a tongue in cheek, 007 spy inspired romp through Fabletown. It is the comic relief to the main opus. Still, worthwhile as a quick read.
