cathepsut's review against another edition
I read the first 12 volumes of Fables more or less back to back and liked them a lot. Then there was Fables, Vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover. It really did not work for me and it was so bad that I took a really long break from the series. I am back for another volume and to check if I want to continue.
The Tooth Fairy, aka Mister Dark, is back and still messing around in New York. We are introduced to Dunster Happ, the character that managed to capture and banish him the first time. Then there is Bufkin, the Mirror and the Witches… Frau Totenkinder is back as well. Baba Yaga is creepy.
I am very underwhelmed with the first four chapters of this volume. Baba Yaga flying around in her mortar and pestle for the first half of the comic is just boring. Bufkin and the Mirror are making zero progress either. And the Dark Man hasn‘t moved an inch. The only interesting development is Frau Totenkinder trying to find Dunster Happ. The rest is just hot air.
I checked some reviews and people seem to be generally happy with this volume, mostly because the crossover volume was so bad. It‘s a shame that I couldn’t work up much enthusiasm.
DNF on page 114, 60% into the volume & at the beginning of chapter 5. Done with this series.
Collecting: Fables 86-93

This is a great series, and it still seems fresh, unlike other series which seem to recycle the same ideas over and over. I'd definitely recommend the Fables series.

Another great volume spoiled by the stupid filler stories...
Judging that 5 volumes left with more then 50 issues i guess the fillers will just keep on coming.
I loved witches so much and i hated the filler even so i was impressed by the verdict of king fly catcher.
Totenkinder will be forever a step ahead of everyone else.
What kind of beast is cooking up inside beauty's belly?
Mister dark Abo Regl Maslokha, i am aware of that name at least its our Egyptian boggy man.

Let's get real, at this point would I give any of these installments less than 5 stars? They just keep getting consistently better and more complex. This volume didn't feature the regular staples but focuses on Bufkin, The Dark Man, and the witches. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Each layer to this series, strengthens it and makes it even more enjoyable to read.

Ok, no one would believe that the flying monkey could defeat baba yaga. That was the worse.

I like this of the series the least. It was kinda messy, jumping POV every few pages.
