The Fables are all the characters from those ancient stories parents read to their kids before bedding them: Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Jack, BlueBeard, and so on...But the Fables have been forced out of their country by a strong and mysterious invader and those who managed to escape now live among us: those who can assume human form live in New York, the others in a farm protected by magical spells.
It's actually original to see all those characters that you know have modern problems and modern minds. It's a very good comic: I've only got the first 3 volumes, but I think I'll buy the next ones real soon... Let's take a peek at the gallery:
- Snow White is the right arm of the Mayor and runs the Fable Community, she is ice-cold and single
- Prince Charming has divorced Snow White, then the Sleeping Beauty and then Cinderella; he lives mostly off the girls he seduces
- "Bigby" Wolf has assumed human form and is the Sheriff of Fabletown
- BlueBeard is the richest of the Fables
- Goldilocks is a gun-totting maniac, sharing her bed with the animals she leads to a bloody revolution
- The youngest of the three pigs keeps escaping the farm to reach the town and intrudes in Bigby's flat
And all of them cannot hold past grievances above each others ‘heads since a global amnesty has been voted that clears every Fable from his past crimes. A great read!
