About the author
Bill Willingham never fought a desperate and losing battle in a good cause, never contributed to society in a meaningful way, and hasn't lived a life of adventure, but he's had a few moments of near adventure. At some point in his life Bill learned how to get paid for telling scurrilous lies to good people, and he's been doing it ever since. He lives in the wild and frosty woods of Minnesota.

I will say this: It's all been leading up to this big, final series of espionage adventures and world-spanning battles. We see how the war is won...and by whom. It's satisfying and it's exciting and it's sad, too.
This is my fave ongoing comic book series, bar none. It's been hard waiting for the bound paperbacks (rather than reading one issue at a time), but it's always worth it. This series is well-written, well-drawn, and always full of twisty, folklorish-retelling fun.
Boy blue shines here (although he's not having an easy time of it in more ways than one), as does Prince Charming (whether you've loved or hated his complex, conceited, but courageous self). Cinderella, er, I mean "Cindy," is kickbutt great as she does her wicked-good spy thing! The battle strategies are fun to follow. And the showdown between the Big Bad Emperor and one of my fave Fable characters ends with a lovely humorous twist. :)
If you're not familiar with the series--start with #1. Really. This storyline is not going to satisfy properly unless you follow the story from chapter one. It's a great ride, and you want to start from "Go!"
Now that the arc of the war series is done, I am crazy curious to see where the saga goes next. (And I keep hoping to hear more about Frau Totenkinder and her mysterious witchy ways, as well as more about all of the thirteenth floor's sorcerous inhabitants.)
This series deserves every award it's gotten. Thumbs way up!

If you have not read any of the other graphic novels in this series, don't read any further. In order to understand the series, events and characters, you need to start at the beginning.
The series starts on a lighter note as Boy Blue and Rose Red discuss their relationship as the Fables prepare for war with the Empire. Earlier in the series, Cinderella had incurred a debt to Frau Totenkinder, the Black Forest Witch. In order to pay this debt, she most dodge the agents of the Adversary in order to retrieve and deliver a `package'. In the process, we find out just how formidable Cinderella has become as secret operative. For one she's every bit as ruthless as Bigby. This is something alluded to earlier in the series.
There is a shuffling of the leadership of Fabletown. No one is making a power play. It's more of a reorganization so that the community may more effectively fight the war. The least informed of the inner circle proves to be the Deputy Mayor Beauty. Her confusion is both amusing and disturbing. It's obvious why she was left out of the planning. Despite their `unofficial' capacities, Snow White and Bigby play pivotal rules in the execution of the war.
They launch their attack with daring and cunning. But there are mishaps along the way. We find out exactly what Prince Charming is made of. Fan favorites are injured or worse.
While I found this to be a satisfying addition to the series, it is not the end. There are a lot of questions and loose ends needing resolution. That was fine with me. I really enjoy this series and I can't wait for more stories.
Fortunately, when you read the afterwords, you find that this really isn't the end of the series which is a sigh of relief. It's weird that the war ends (for now of course). A lot of times, you read an ending to a large event and you're not satisfied. In this case, I was and I think you will be too.
The story and art are consistent throughout. It's hard to believe that I'm reading the 11th volume of Fables but 11 books have preceded this one. If you're a fan of graphic novels, this is not a book to miss.

The protgonists are fictional but real at same time,one of the perks of choosing famous fable charcters. Really interesting concept.
