Cubs in toyland is one of the best arcs in the Fables series. Dark and disturbing, the way fables should be. The rest of this volume is great as well. Feels like the quality is back.

It is easy. If you like graphic novels at all read the Fables series. Start at the beginning and enjoy the art and the story. The deluxe editions are the best, but in whatever version they are well worth the read.

Another wonderful collection of issues. I can definitely see within this following up on many of the various story threads left dangling last time, and also moving towards the resolution of the entire series (I think there's one or two more deluxe books left), with much of the groundwork for that conclusion being laid... and yet having exciting stories being told at the same time.

I really hope that the witches are able to succeed in their glass-rebuilding plan! Surely that isn't the end of such an important character, right?? Surely...

In this volume: a revolution in Oz, featuring Bufkin (naturally); Therese, one of Snow and Bigby's daughters is lured into an adventure by a mysterious and slightly sinister toy tugboat that turns both deadly and desperate both for Therese and her brother Dare; a previous fiance of Snow's (before Prince Charming, even), Prince Brandish, shows up demanding his rights as Snow's "rightful" husband while Bigby is off searching for his missing children.
This volume is darker than most, with the Oz revolution being the most light-hearted episode of the lot. The endings of the other two arcs dovetail rather nicely, but leave some catastrophic implications. This series never fails to surprise.
