Werewolves Of the Heartland by Bill Willingham – A Book Review
A stand-alone graphic novel from the Fables universe, Werewolves Of the Heartland features Bigby Wolf as he wanders across America looking for a new city to call home.

Down the Mysterly River by Bill Willingham – A Book Review
Though Down the Mysterly River is written primarily for middle-graders, the fact that it is scribed by Bill Willingham proved irresistible.

Fables, Vol. 9: Sons of Empire – A Graphic Novel Review
What can I say? Fables continues to be the best comic book series out there–period. Sons of Empire maintains the excellent status quo by setting up a major storyline to come, giving us an interesting Christmas tale, and further exploring the relationship between fathers and sons. Most entertaining, though, is a series of “short stories”…

Fables: The Mean Seasons – A Graphic Novel Review
Once again, I found out about the series Fables from the Eisner Awards list. I’ve yet to be disappointed by my buys from the winners of the Eisner Awards, and Fables is no different. First of all, let me catch you up to speed. Fables is about a community of exiled Fables who have taken…
