Fables, Vol. 17: Inherit the Wind (Softcover, 144 pages, Written by Bill Willingham)
I pre-order all of these graphic novels now—sight unseen. I do not read the comic books but wait for the graphic novels. If that is not a ringing endorsement, I do not know what is!
This was a little slower paced than the previous graphic novels. The story did advance significantly but we were able to spend some time with characters previously left undeveloped—specifically, Snow White and Bigby Wolf's cubs (children). We learn who is the new King of the North Wind. Interlaced in that story is the story of Bufkin leading his revolution against Roquat the Red, First Emperor of the Restored Pan Ozian Empire. Also included is a story of Rose Red becoming an Agent of Hope.
As usual, I greatly enjoyed Bill Willingham's story. The art was also consistently good to excellent. If you are a fan of Fables, you should definitely pick this up. If the above intrigues you and you have never read Fables, start with the first graphic novel, Legends in Exile.
