This hardcover collects “Legends in Exile” and “Animal Farm,” introducing a host of characters that populate the Fables universe along with the two primary communities of the Fables on Earth: Fabletown and the Farm. Each chapter tackles a different genre as it explores the relationships between these immortal characters and their varied and often misinterpreted histories. Willingham’s writing is clever and witty and the stories are beyond phenomenal. Often his take on the fables are unique; he enjoys twisting and turning our expectations for these characters. For example, Prince Charming is a divorced, promiscuous womanizer with an insurmountable ego, Snow White is the deputy mayor of Fabletown, and Bigby Wolf, the sherrif, is the shapeshifting Big Bad Wolf of infamy. This is easily my favourite ongoing comic book.
