Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile by Bill Willingham
5.0
Fables is my absolute favourite graphic novel of any kind in any form. I've read the full series, the spin-offs, I've played the game, and let me tell you, nothing has captured my heart more than this series. Not every issue is weighted equally in terms of quality, but each one makes up part of something I adore.
The range of characters is familiar enough from fables that they can be easily remembered, diverse enough in personalities that you can't forget. If you don't find yourself loving at least one character (Bigby, please), then maybe this series isn't for you, as the characters are the backbone. The adventures they go on, the obstacles they face, and the relationships they have are so refreshingly different from every other Western comic.
