The Fables series finale begins

June 11, 2015 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

After finishing Camelot, I started wondering about the seeds Willingham was planting that point toward very bad things happening to Fabletown and the Farm where our various heroes and anti-heroes make their homes. The series has had a couple of board-clearing events in the past but this one felt different. Turns out I was right. Last year, Willingham announced he was ending both Fables and the spinoff, Fairest, this summer. Specifically the last issue will come out July 22, 2015 and be 150 pages long. […]

So Glad You Could Stay Forever

January 5, 2015 by Fredo Leave a Comment

“Once we were a thousand separate kingdoms, spread over a hundred magic worlds. We were kings and cobblers. Wizards and woodcarvers. We had our sinners, our saints, and our blatant social climbers. And from the grandest lord to the lowliest peasant girl, we were, for the most part, strangers one to another.” “It took an invasion to unite us.” Reimagining fairy tales is not necessarily a new endeavor.  They have ranged from the cute and fun “Tangled” to the popular TV series “Once Upon A […]

I did it, I really really did it!

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 6 Comments

It’s a Fables encyclopedia. But, more importantly, I made it!!  I almost didn’t think I was going to.  This has been wonderful fun.  I’m definitely signing up for next year, except I’m only committing to a half Cannonball.  With a new baby on the way, and how close I came to the wire on this one, I don’t think I can make it to 52 next year.  Thanks to everyone for the interesting reviews and to MsWas for keeping this ship afloat.  I hope everyone […]

Harajuku Rapunzel

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

First Gwen Stefani, now Rapunzel?  I do have to say, I love her style, especially that bathroom haircut and her final fight outfit with that fuzzy coat that I’m not going to tell you what it’s made of.

What’s love got to do with it?

December 22, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

None of those who gave Sleeping Beauty “true love’s kiss” ever stuck around.  You think that’s because it doesn’t mean what we think it does?

All is forgiven.

It’s the return of Hope for Fables fans, literally and figuratively.
