Not at all what I was expecting. I'm almost finished with the first arc and it's safe to say, I'll be reading many, many more.
:cheers: Thanks for the excellent recommendation. :cheers:

:cheers: Good to hear. The "Jack of Fables" spinoff is worth reading also.

Glad you liked it!
The Jack books are pretty good, I miss him in the regular book, but he did get a little too big for it. Jack spins off after issue 35, if you want to wait until then so it makes sense. If you like the first arc of Fables so far, have fun, cause that is the weakest section of the series.
AFTER you have read through a number of the books and have met more characters, encountered more of the "Adversary", and learned about the ongoing war, find/read "1001 Nights of Snowfall". Somewhere after issue 22 would be good, just be sure to read this before you reach issue 60. This is a standalone group of stores in the style of "One Thousand and One Arabian Nights" where the teller of the tales has to tell a new story each night in order to stay alive. You get some good retellings of traditional fairy tales that you are familier with, with dark twists. Most notably regarding Snow White and the Frog Prince.
Side note, NBC was Developing a TV series based on the comic, and it then moved to ABC, where is sat in limbo. Then ABC announced a different show (Once Upon a Time) which seems VERY similar in concept, but is not Fables. So if you see that and it sucks, don't hold it against Fables!! :)
