Fables, Vol. 8: Wolves
by
Fables: Wolves is the book where Bigby returns and this lifts everything to another level. I've mentioned before that this series has the strength of being incredibly versatile in what genres it moves between. This book captures on that versatility and expands the series. A solution to Bigby's issues is found, a war is potentially stopped in the Fablelands and Cinderella goes on an important mission up a beanstalk.
I have very little to add to the general idea conveyed of the series in my other previous reviews. So, because of that, I shall leave this a short two paragraph review. I definitely recommend checking out these graphic novels for their combination of humour, adult themes (well maybe not so much), fairytales, fantasy, adventure, romance and dealing with deep issues. In this volume the idea of fatherhood and dealing with duty are observed in regards to Bigby Wolf and it all turns out very interesting in the end. Perhaps not the best addition to the series but a typically strong addition and recommendable.

I just finished this volume and I was wondering if this is more or less the end off Bigby and Snow playing crucial roles in Fable Town? I'm undecided if I want to continue reading if they just become minor characters in the large scheme of things.

Okay cool! I can live with that
