Here we are again
Let me say i was surprised
i thought that by some miracle their silly plan will work out, and ofc i laughed at the mimicking of wolverine profesor x scarlet witch the wasp and maybe brock blueheart is the green lantern!
but they had to make us see how silly that was and finish it in an epic way
the north wind kills mr.dark and himself in the process, and now one of bigby's cubs has to take over the role of north wind !!!
Only when you think there is no more stories to tell they come up with new intriguing ones
I also liked the outcome of bufkin's adventures and what it might lead too as well
He is now in the world of oz and setting a revolution in motion against its new leader
The briar rose story line might turn out good as well am not sure what the goblins want with her or if we are supposed to know them or not
The weird thing is i remember briar rose went to sleep with two guardians a witch and a mage i think or something what happened to them now?

as the series progresses I have found I have not been as into the story line - hoping that there is change that brings me in again.

I gave this a three because there were a couple of great moments in an otherwise mediocre installment of this fantastic series.

This installment was a "tiny" bit of a let down. Mr. Dark gets dealt with for the final time (we hope) we see the true side of Mrs. Pratt (I didn't love the story-line about fat women being ugly on the outside AND on the inside), and the fables (specifically Pinocchio have waay too much fun trying to pick out their super hero costumes to battle Mr. Dark. It wasn't as strong as some of the past volumes, but it did move the story forward and it was enjoyable, it just wasn't quite as up to snuff as some of the others have been. Never fear, I still plan on reading the rest of the series!

It was so good to get back to the Fables! Why did I wait so long? I have a feeling I’ll be spending the rest of the year finishing this series. What a world these creators have designed… impressive, epic, unforgettable!

The superhero thing I found to be a little tacky, but the rest of it was action packed and unexpected and grand

Meh...a little silly, and the loss of Mister Dark felt a bit sudden.

I love the Fables series! This one wasn't as great as some of their early storylines (I miss the more innocent problems) or the Dark Ages trade (man, I think that was the best one yet!), but still an enjoyable reading experience. When the next rade is published, I will definitely pick it up.
