Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Collecting Fables #6-10, the second story arc of the fan-favorite, critically acclaimed VERTIGO series. Travel to upstate New York, where the non-human Fable characters have found refuge on a farm, miles from mankind. But all is not well on the farm — and a conspiracy to free them from the shackles of their perceived imprisonment may lead to a war that could wrest control of the Fables community away from Snow White. Starring Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Plus, a sketchbook section featuring art by Willingham, Buckingham and Jean.

Synopsis:

Fables: Animal Farm is a highly imaginative political thriller that tells the modern day story of fairy tale characters as they struggle for their freedom. After their homelands were attacked and conquered by the mysterious Adversary, the mythological characters from fables and folklores were captured and the non-human beings were forced to live on a farm in upstate New York. Unhappy with their captive life, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the Three Little Pigs lead a rebellious uprising that quickly turns deadly. Now caught in the middle of an animal revolution, Snow White must find a way to make peace on the farm or become the next victim in a bloody massacre. SUGGESTED FOR MATURE READERS.

Synopsis:

This highly imaginative political thriller tells the modern-day story of fairy tale characters as they struggle for their freedom. Full color.

This, the second Fables collection, fills in a lot of gaps for me, since I've read all of the other collections. It would be fun if the series focused a little more on the non-human fables in future, since they're an interesting lot.
