Fables, Vol. 10: The Good Prince
by Bill Willingham
Bill Willingham, Fables: The Good Prince (Vertigo, 2008)
Flycatcher has regained his memory, and now, as Prince Ambrose, it's time for him to claim—or reclaim, as it were—his destiny. With some surprising allies, he undertakes a quest that may well change the balance of power in the upcoming war between Fabletown and the Empire. Meanwhile, Fabletown are preparing for what they assume will be an all-out attack by the Empire on the mundane world, and to do that, they're going to have to find themselves some very specialized teachers. Willingham is doing a great job with the politics of this thing, above all, and that's what makes it the compelling series it is; the characters are great, but this one's definitely situation-driven. I'm not usually a big fan of political thrillers, but between this and Ex Machina, it's been quite the season for them. ****
