Oh geez, I actually find myself rooting for Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf.

If they can keep the dynamic between White and Bigby like this for a while to come, than I don't see myself growing tired of this series.

I am really enjoying this series and I think this is my favorite volume so far. Bigby and Snow White were my favorite characters from the beginning, so any story that focuses on them (especially both of them) I enjoy. The only problem I have with graphic novels is that I finish one within a few hours and immediately want the next.

С каждым томом история Волка раскрывается и раскрывается: видно, что автору очень интересен этот персонаж. Его сложно не полюбить в первом томе и совершенно невозможно остаться равнодушной в третьей - когда он волк, великолепный огромный зверь

This has a couple of single issue stories, a 2 parter and a slightly longer series "Storybook love" from which the volume gets its name.
The longest story is by far the best and the other stories feel like they dilute it. I didnt buy the premise of the longest story - if a powerful enchantment could have been used then it could have gone a little bit further and would have much more effectively achieved the villains objectives. That said, switch off the brain and it was a lot of fun.
The rest Jack story is good but does not really seem to fit that neatly into the world of Fables that is only recently established. This made it a bit jarring although it was a good story in and of itself.
Overall Fables remains a series that I will continue to borrow or buy cheaply. Its good when I am not feeling sharp enough to read novels to have some graphical novels to dip into but it does not fully live up to the potential of its premise to be more than disposable entertainment thus far.
