Fables Vol. 11: War and Pieces (Fables (Graphic Novels)) Kindle & comiXology

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 346 ratings

WINNER OF FOURTEEN EISNER AWARDS. The final battle between the free Fables of the mundane world and the Empire occupying their former Homelands is about to begin, and the scrappy storybook heroes have already managed to even the odds considerably. With his previously unstoppable wooden soldiers neutralized, the Adversary is about to get his first taste of high technology in the form of steel-jacketed bullets and laser-guided bombs. But the ruler who conquered a hundred different worlds didn't do it by fighting clean--and he's still got a surprise or two left to spring on the residents of Fabletown. Collects issues #70-75 in Bill Willingham's Eisner Award-winning Vertigo series. Includes sketches by Mark Buckingham.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Finally, the war to retake the Fables’ Homeland commences. But not before a couple of set-up yarns. “Kingdom Come,” drawn by Niko Henrichon more loosely and cartoony than main-story artist Mark Buckingham would have, tells how the torch Boy Blue has long carried for Rose Red is snuffed out, and “Skulduggery” is a hostage-rescue thriller with Cinderella as the ruthless rescuer. The rest of the book is the war, which is satisfyingly heroic and gritty but, as it happens, not the grand finale of the Fables saga. A further volume of denouement is promised. Goody! --Ray Olson

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

Others have posted in detail about the basis for the series and the segments of this volume, so I'm gonna skip the spoilers.

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!

Considered the conclusion to the first major story arc of the Fables saga, WAR AND PIECES tells of the long-expected confrontation between the free Fables and the Adversary. This is where the story from the very beginning has been heading, so needless to say there was a lot of build-up and expectations for this one. I think it says a lot that this volume has a 4.5-star rating here on Amazon, despite its being subject to such high hopes by faithful readers. Most of your favorite characters are featured on center stage here, including Boy Blue, Bigby, Prince Charming, and Cindy. As you'd expect, this one is absolutely full of action, action, and more action, and compared to other Fables volumes, lacks a bit on the character development side of things. Still, a few personal interactions are highlighted here, including the potentially-budding(?) romance between Boy Blue and Rose Red. Besides that though, the rest of the book tells action-packed stories of the 'shooting war' with the Adversary. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I was totally satisfied by the way the war was detailed and the way it turned out. Somewhat predictable, but a joy to read. Fully lived up to my expectations (which were high). As far as I'm concerned, this would have been a perfectly reasonable place to conclude the series, but I'm obviously glad it has continued. Highly recommended!

"War and Pieces" is the latest graphic compilation of Bill Willingham's brilliant Fable series. The premise of this series is the characters of folklore and fairy tales really exist. They have been driven to our mundane world by the Adversary, a ruthless conqueror who has taken over their worlds. They now live in New York state either in Fabletown (located in Manhattan) or on the Farm in upstate NY.

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.

Fables 11: War and Pieces bring to an end the war between the adversary and the exiled fables. Wow... The war is done with. For now. In this book. Took 11 books to get there but there's an end to it. And that's all I think that should be said about this. I'm not going to spoil anything else other than this is a fine read.

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.

I like this series, and this was a satisfying end to a major story arc with room to continue developing. If you've been following the series, you should be happy with the way these charactersnplay out.
