Fables Vol. 3: Storybook Love

This is the third book in the Fables series. Unlike the first two books this one is comprised of four separate tales. This installment does an excellent job of filling in some background while still moving the main story along. The first installment tells about Jack the Giant killer and his love of a cursed southern belle. The second talks about Bigby Wolf dealing with a reporter who thinks he's discovered the secret of Fabletown. The third is the longest and progresses the story the furthest; this one is about Goldilocks trying to kill Snow White and Bigby. The fourth is about Jack and the Beanstalk. All of the stories are engaging and interesting. The third (Storybook Love) about Snow White and Bigby ends on a total cliffhanger that had me dying to know what would happen next. The illustration is in keeping with previous book; although the fourth story didn't have as detailed artwork as the three that came before it. This book was another engaging, humorous, and interesting set of Fabletown tales. I am absolutely hooked on this series and excited to read the 4th book, March of the Wooden Soldiers. The world continues to gain complexity and I am always surprised by the fables that pop up in the storylines. It is fun to try and figure out who is from which fable/fairy tale. Overall an excellent installment to this series. I am eager to find out what happens next. It was great to get background on some of the characters as well as have the story progress. This is definitely an adult graphic novel; there is nudity and violence. Fans of fairy tales, humorous urban fantasy, or just fantasy graphic novels in general should make sure to check out this series.

This volume has an interesting storyline, more character development, and is a fun read. I became a fan because of the Xbox version and if anyone else has played the game then they would enjoy this storyline as well. It adds to the relationships between characters and shows a side that isn't very present in the game. I really liked this volume and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun read or fans of the Xbox game.

This series is great at drawing you in. (Though I could do without some of the excessive smut). The art in this volume ranges from great to really ugly. There are a few scenes I was just wondering how the artists approved...I know western comics often have odd anatomy and faces in certain panels...but some are a little too bad in this one. Overall though, this is a pretty fun volume. I was happy to see a Munchkin carrying an "Uncanny Oz Men" comic, and I can't wait to see more Oz characters show up in the story. Snow White and Bigby have some fun scenes in this one as well as some awkward ones and a couple of despicable characters bite the dust. I really liked Briar Rose in this volume, her curse is interesting and I'm glad they explored it some here.

Following on from FABLES: LEGENDS IN EXILE and FABLES: ANIMAL FARM, here's the third volume compiled from the series. In it Boy Blue falls for Red Riding Hood while fighting the Adversary's minions; a stupid journalist thinks he can unmask the residents of Fabletown for the vampires he thinks they are; an evil plot has surprising consequences for Bigby Wolf and Snow White; and we find out about Barleycorn Brides. And that's just for starters. The consequences of some of the things that happen here will, as they always do in these tales, through what follows later. It also deals with the further interaction between the crazed revolutionary Goldilocks and Snow Whit, who, as we may remember from ANIMAL FARM, has a bone to pick with Goldie. The pace continues unabated, with the story-lines mostly interleaved and hanging together; though Boy Blue's adventures are 'historical' (but need to be told, so we understand what happens in the next volume: FABLES: MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS), and the Barelycorn Brides snippet appears to bear only a slight connection to anything going on in the main-line story thread. There's some serious violence and blood, plus some sex; people die; journalists get their due desserts, as does a fable, long overdue for the dispensing of justice; Bigby and Snow do some serious bonding in the wilderness. Nice pace, engaging tales and, though happy endings are far off or maybe will never come, there is a good deal of overt and suppressed romance. Full marks, as always.

This book was amazing! The beginning of the book consists of one oneshot story with Jack and follows up with a two issued story about Bigby and a "vampire problem", then the storybook love main story begins. Really nice art in there and even one epic scene with Bigby that gave me goosebumps. Recommend to anyone who's read the previous two books.

Just the way I expected it.

Le tome 3 de Fables, tout simplement fabuleux (c'est le cas de le dire) comme le reste de la série.

This series is so good , I liked vol. 2 the best so far but this was an amazing entry that has left me wondering what will happen next. The art is amazing. I love the idea of a cop drama within a fairytale setting.

Excelente. Un pequeño problema resuelto inmediatamente.
