A review by kandicez
Peter & Max by Bill Willingham
3.0
I absolutely adore the Fables graphic novel series. I've been reading them almost from the beginning, and have reread enough times that I can pick up any volume and dive in for a bit without any disorientation. I attended the Vertigo panels every year at ComicCon and even have a lovely signed print in my bathroom (the colors match!) by Buckingham. so when my daughter gave me this beautiful book as a gift I was very excited to read it.
I don't want my three stars to make it seem as if I didn't enjoy this. I definitely did. But I was expecting to be blown away and that just didn't happen. There were illustrations, and they were beautiful, but I really missed Buckingham's contribution to the series. That's no reflection on Willingham. He's an awesome story teller, and when I inevitably reread I will probably bump it up.
Anyone who fell in love with the series in 2002 (or later) and stayed on that magnificent train until the end, should definitely look for this. It gives you a glimpse between the issues and allows you to catch up with old friends,
