Fables is one of the most respected comic books in modern age (one of the proofs of this statement is that next month it will reach the 100th issue landmark) and this issue (# 50) is a water divisor.
Willianghan´s skill of developing a cohesive, interesting and emotional tale from our childhood´s fables stories is put not to a test in this issue, but just another show of how easy he can handle his stuff and how well arranged is his scripts.
This issue is focused in Bigby Wolf and Snow White (formers Sheriff and Vice Mayor of Fabletown), who were kind of supporting actors after Prince Charming was elected Mayor and Beauty and the Beast took their places in the administration.
Seeing Wolf as a badass 007 agent is truly heroic, funny and very entertaining.
Seeing Snow White and her 6 children in the farm interacting is very emotional.
But the best in this issue is the sacrament between White and Snow and how they will begin a new life together, raising their kids in an area detached from the farm (a reward from Prince Charming).
Williangham and Buckingham working together in this tittle make everything so cool, well executed and the harmony with both of them results in one of the best issues in a prestigious long run.
This issue is about celebration, life together, new begginings, fresh starts and dealing with stuff from the past.
Highly recommended for Fables fans.
And for those who are curious about this series this is a way to start readind it and perhaps collecting this comic.
