Fables is one of my favorite comic series. Have you played the Telltale game?

They also released another Fables comic series that follows the games storyline. It's called The Wolf Among Us and is one of my all-time favorite games.
Hm, I'm no gamer, but that's interesting parallelism. I did feel TV networks followed up the success of these Fables graphic novel series with TV series from ABC/Disney and NBC/Universal/Comcast. Looking around Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, there seems no shortage of fairy tale revamps, new spins on the public domain. It's the comics storytelling of Bil Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, Todd Klein, et. al., that I enjoy, their art and craft. Their Bigby Wolf is a great tough guy.
I've always loved fairy tail and folklore. Revamps, originals, and essays. If you ever have anything you recommend, please don't hesitate! (Bigby is a personal hero of mine, ha!)
This comes to mind: Castle Waiting, a series by comics author Linda Medley, self-published then best collected by publisher Fantagraphics Books. Castle Waiting, Vol. 1
