Customer Reviews

Moving and “Good”
After 40 years of reading comics this was only the second time I was emotionally moved by a story in the graphic format. Bill Willingham deserves great praise for creating a true “Fable”. One that can hold its own with any fable ever told. In these days of real fear mongering, violence and war, the story of “The Good Prince” brings with it a comforting feeling that a good man, one who cares for people, can stand up to the evils everyone else just accepts and succeed without sacrificing his own moral values. I feel lighter and happier for having read the book.

Another Winner in a winner series!
Fables continues to be an outstanding comic book series. Of course its not just a great comic series, its a great story period! This latest volume takes one of the minor characters (who has been there from the first few issues) and brings him on a true hero journey. Pick up this volume and enjoy a wonderful tale.

As good as it gets…
Like another reviewer said, if you aren’t familiar with the series then you shouldn’t be looking at this book. Start at the beginning, as there’s a LOT of story to catch up on.

This volume gives us the chance to catch up with Ambrose AKA Flycatcher after he has regained the memory of what really happened to his family. After a semi-false start, he finally realizes what he has to do and gains the help of the last fable that anyone would ever has expected… the Forsworn Knight. Flycatcher then descends into the witching well in hopes of saving not only a kingdom, but himself as well. Many loose threads are answered, such as exactly who was tossed down into the well when people thought it was Baba Yaga’s body thrown into the well (hint- it’s *very* subtly answered). We also get to once again see everyone who was thrown into the well, both good and bad.

While I do admit being impatient at some parts, the story really was well done. It was also fun seeing the one shot of training at the Farm where the artwork took a distinctively playful turn and we get to see Snow White & Bigby’s cubs (ALL of them) get together for a happy birthday. The artwork as always, is beautiful for the volume. The storyline may not answer everything, and it may not be the end of the series, but it gives us a good look into the future of the series.
