| Fables: Animal Farm |
| Animal Farm deals with the non-human fables who have been living on a hidden farm in upstate New York. Lead by the Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks, the animals plan to stage a revolt against the human fables and then move on to take back the Homelands. Snow White, the administrator of the human fables, stumbles upon the plot when she and her sister, Rose Red, go up for a regular visit to check on the farm. A real exciting story that, when taken together with Legends in Exile, also finishes introducing readers to the structure of entire Fables universe.
I'm planning on picking up subsequent trades as they come out. The third book is slated for May I think. I'm not going to switch and start reading the book monthly; I'd rather wait and pick up the collected story arcs. It's nice to have a complete story some times. I can't recommend Fables enough. Fresh ideas. Solid writing. Beautiful artwork. They all blend together to create original and enjoyable entertainment. Willingham can't crank out more Fables stories fast enough - in my opinion. |
