The bad things first: I thought most of the art work was just OK, and the story was a really awkward mystery story that didn't really work. However, the cover art by James Jean was very, very good, especially this one that shows Rose Red peeking out from under a wig of black hair http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Fables_5.jpg) , and the universe itself is fantastic. I am definitely going to read a...more

I enjoyed reading it and found the idea very creative, it was fun to see this perspective. It was not profound in comparisons to other graphic novels I have read, but I don't think that was the intention.

A little predictable but a really good set-up to the series and the art, especially the issue covers, was really cool. I tried to write something like this when I was in grade 5 where fairytale characters walked in the real world but it was a total failure. I have high hopes for the storyline as it progresses.

If anything, it's interesting to see all these fable characters in a detective story. Fables is the best comic series going just now if you ask me. Old fable characters driven out of their homelands and living in the...more

I was disappointed with this first installation of Fables. Luckily, I went on to read the next compilation, and from there, the series has consistently and drastically improved. I agree that the "big reveal" wasn't shocking whatsoever. It was easy to guess, ever since the start of the mystery murder. Negative points on the plot, and negative points on the characters, who we don't know...more

Don't read this stuff. It stinks. Just started a little bit ago and haven't gotten very far yet. It seems a little silly so far, but from the hype I've seen about it I have high hopes. This was OK and I've started on book two, Animal Farm, but unless they introduce something a little more grabbing soon, I won't keep this around. It's a little too dull and the fairy...more
