Fables, Vol. 3: Storybook Love by Bill Willingham

2.0

Not so big on this volume. It feels like leftover odds and ends. Some side stories, some single-issue stuff, and a brief continuation of a story from a previous volume. Feels like Willingham is flailing around for content.

Love seeing where Snow and Bigby find themselves! Even Charming wasn’t a total menace in this one!

That's it. I'm officially hooked!!! I enjoyed the shit out of this one. So much diversity and awesome twists. I never really got sold on the happily ever after thing when I used to read fairy tales as a kid. I mean come the fuck on happily every after??? Yeah right. Or I was probably a really cynical child lmao. This comic is perfect for those of us who always wondered what happened after happily ever after. Guess I know now, and I fucking love it. Ahem. Anyways, I'm so completing all the 19 volumes now. Volume 4,here I cooooomeee!

March 2024: This gets docked in the rating because I don't like Jack, and even though the story included here is not quite as irritating as some other ones, I would always rather read about anyone else. 

The main story is good. I am glad to see the beginnings of Snow and Bigby being together, even though I had forgotten just how long it takes for them to finally, really get together. 

This is one of those volumes, though, where not a lot happens. It's mostly setting pieces in place for the next big thing, plus a few one off issues.
