A review by scottishben
Fables, Vol. 3: Storybook Love by Bill Willingham
3.0
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.
