[quote name='karsh']Fables is basically a comic that deals with characters from fairy tales and folk lore (Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Prince Charming, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, etc) and how they were forced out of their homelands into the real world by an attacking army led by The Adversary. They have a secret society in New York City called Fabletown and the comic deals with how they deal with being here. Each arc, especially at the beginning, has a differring genre, where the first is a murder mystery, then a conspiracy story, then a caper and love story. It's a really great comic and, quite frankly, one of the best I've ever read.[/quote]
I bought the first two books back in December, and as soon as I started reading it, I was hooked. I was pretty pissed that I didn't have the third volume at that time, as I seriously needed it. It's that good.
