bill willingham's fables comic book series

How can this wonderful world be done? I can’t even. Most devastating of all is the fact that there are only two volumes remaining in the series, as creator Bill Willingham has announced that he’s wrapping up the series. There’s some hope, but also a clear warning that we readers aren’t going to get everything we want - not by a long shot. The groundwork is prepared for new conflict, and while ominous signs abound, in many ways this volume serves as a bridge from the awful events of the previous book to the next big challenge for our beloved characters. What I will say is that the story moves forward in new and unexpected ways, with a narrative that follows several storylines simultaneously, so that it’s not all tragedy, all the time. If you’re already a Fables fan, you’ll want to go into this one with no advance knowledge. I just read #20 today, and - big surprise - loved it. Would the pain continue? Would there be any happiness left anywhere in the world of #20? How could the story possibly move forward? Let me tell you, #19 was a heart-breaker, and I opened #20 with trepidation. The newest volume in the series is #20, Camelot. One book series that I’m always pushing on unsuspecting friends is Fables, the comic book series by Bill Willingham (available in trade paperback volumes, which is how I read them). There are certain books and series that I tend to rave about - a lot - and anyone who visits my blog from time to time has probably stumbled across my random gushes about one or another of my favorites.
