1, Legends in Exile, that those Fables (fairy tale characters) who couldn’t pass as normal humans in New York City live on a farm in upstate New York. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a story like this, but it’s always an interesting one. But she’s such a popular Fable that she’s going to recover from that. Snow White took a rifle shot to the head. Of course… now that they’re awake, how in the world do you keep them fed and hidden in the modern world? Heh.Īnd monkeys can’t drive! Except… it’s a flying monkey. And yet somehow that feels like exactly the sort of saying you’d see among Fables… Of all the ways they could have done Goldilocks and the Three Bears… This was not what I expected. I really like the dynamic between Snow White and Rose Red as sisters and the exploration of their sibling rivalries. It may be hard to kill an immortal–but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. 1 that this is going to be a story with consequences. It’s a crazy world building and a wonderful story–and what’s more, it shows much more than Vol. They don’t necessarily feel (to me) like centuries old immortals, but they certainly feel like living breathing characters with all manners of problems– and all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of dealing with them. We’re really starting to build up just how much each of these characters is based on who they were imagioned to be and how much they’ve grown since them. But just because they wouldn’t fit in doesn’t mean they still don’t want to be a part of the world. You have talking animals, sentient flowers, tiny mouse-sized people, and all manner of other shocking things. And those all live at a farm in upstate New York. In a nutshell (heh), some Fables–like nearly all of those we met in Volume 1 can pass as human. 2: Animal Farm is all about racism, classism, and revolution! The haves and have nots–or in this case, the Fables that can pass as human… and those that cannot. 1: Legends in Exile was a murder mystery, Fables, Vol.
