A review by samwescott
Fables, Vol. 7: Arabian Nights by Bill Willingham
3.0
I think other reviewers have explained very eloquently why the whole Arabian plot line was really not ok. The stereotypes were really gross and unnecessary and I am very unhappy to see such a racist handling of the subject matter in one of my favorite comics. I hope they do better in the future.
Other than that, the actual story wasn't bad. I would like to learn more about the other Fable cultures and how they interact with Fabletown. I also LOVED what they did with King Cole's characterization. I am also very interested in the whole ball of wax that is the running of Fabletown, so it was a good storyline, if you can ignore the insensitive racial portrayals.
I thought the love story in the second section was cute, but a bit irrelevant? I don't know. Not really my thing. On the next!
