Fables 101

[matt levin]

“Fables” 101 certainly opens with a drab several pages, which is surprising, considering they feature the talking severed-head of Frankenstein’s monster, the (talking) Magic Mirror of “Snow White” and an Ozian former winged monkey…

But the discussion is amusing and the line-work extremely fine, and of course, when the color does brighten, it does so intensely, ‘just like the movie’! Having an on-site narrator in Lily is also fun. As is any appearance of my pal, Merv Pumpkinhead (former agent of Dream), although some might call him ‘Jack’.

Bufkin’s ruminations on empire and civilization are pontifically fine, as is the depiction of Bufkin by ‘the gloom of night’ particularly fine. "Fables" 101 is a lesson on just how much there is to explore through this title, long may it run.

[Awesome!]

I want a lunchbox tree.

Good issue overall. I always enjoy the business office segues but it is going to be a pretty boring place with Bufkin off adventuring. Hopefully it gets found at some point.

Great issue. I love how in fables you can leave the main story and have a side story be just as good. Im starting to like the Magic Mirror even more.

Fantastic issue. I thought the use of coloring was great. Going from the gray monotones of the office to the bright colors of OZ. (Hmm? What movie does that remind me of?)
There are so many nice little touches. Bufkin returning "home", but it's not Fabletown, which is no more. Frankenhead sounding more and more like the genius he proclaims he is.
I also think Bufkin might be up to take on Mr. Dark.

I'm enjoying mirror's character dilemma. What can he or can't he see. Is it manipulation or, is it fate?
