Calista's Reviews > Fables, Vol. 12: The Dark Ages

I did wonder what was going to happen now that the war of the Fables has been won. I did have faith in Bill Willingham and this marvelous series, but I couldn't figure something out. Well, our friend Bill certainly came through for us.

There is a new big bad on the loose and its as a result of a power vacuum created in the fairytale lands. This dude is set free and he is one black magic baddie. All the magic that Fabletown has been using seems to be connected to this dude. It's really interesting and changing the story in a whole new direction.

Boy Blue has such a sad storyline this time. He find out there are consequences from the war for him. It broke my heart. Ghephetto has become a funny character in some ways. He is now in Fabletown and he's no idiot, but he hates the modern world and people hate him.

I though this was an excellent follow up to the last one story. I still say this story gets better and better and deeper and the characters change and the story twists and it just keeps going. It's an overlooked work in a lot of ways and this needs to be a Netflix show. It would be a great fantasy show and better than Once upon a Time.

This is fast becoming one of my favorite series.
