Fables, Vol. 7: Arabian Nights by Bill Willingham
2.0
I was so excited for this one. I've been adding a lot of Arabian inspired things to my read and watch lists, so seeing that this was the title of the next Fables volume, I raised my expectations WAY up.
And... meh. It was quite boring.
I never watched Sinbad as a kid so I didn't really have much of a connection to that. I really thought they'd include Aladdin, but they just passingly mentioned his name once. Then there was a genie which I thought would be such a cool storyline for the volume, but that lasted for an issue.
The last two issues of this volume also followed two new characters in a sidestory that I didn't care about, and found painful to read due to the cursive font choice.
This one was definitely a miss for me.
