Yay backstory! Yay Rose Red! Although I really want to know what her guiding entity turned out to be, and it'll probably be ages before we find out. ( )

Another 4. I was wondering where they were going with this story, and I spent the whole book going "Oh," "Oh," and "...wow." Red Duckling. I don't even want to spoil this one with talking about it. I just want to tell you I loved it. And it was so well done. And the beginning, the flash backs, and the culmination are all so good they gave me goosebumps and endless heart love for this character, this story, and this entire, endlessly expanding, world.

I've been a Fables fan since issue #1. Reading this volume really took me back to issue #1 by having issue #100 start off the same way. Issue #100 on it's own is worth reading. The art work is done to almost perfection and the story is something us Fable fans have waited for. However, what I loved most about this volume is the story of Snow White and Rose Red. I loved reading this tale because I've known about the fairy tale long before Fables and Willingham really showed a good relationship with the two sisters. Also when reading this story arc, I really could relate to the twin sisters. Even though I'm a male, Snow White and Rose Red reminded me a lot of my brother and I. ( )

Much anticipated return of Rose Red. Not disappointed! ( )

Totenkinder (now Bellflower) has a plan, but she's not going to let anyone else in. So instead, we're going to deal with the fall of Rose Red after the death of Boy Blue and a shock from her past strong enough to shake her out of it.

It's worth reading just for that, a bit of exploration into depression and loss from the framework of the Fables universe. And man has Red been through a lot--even before Boy Blue died.

Plus, a new baby* for Beast and Beauty! Because more plotlines are always worth while.

Spoilers:



Hhe. Meta.



Oh man the dwarves are dark in this. No wonder Snow is a bit screwed up. And Red in turn.



Powers in this universe are yet another thing to deal with. Interesting enough--and quite a problem with how exactly do you deal with Mr. Dark--plus hints at just what will come to be in Fables 16!



That was sneaky. And easy. Too easy?



*Perfectly normal*. Uh huh.



Hmm. Cinderella is kind of a lot. A funny little story here though. A comic within a comic. ( )
