Fables

I absolutely loved the comic book Fables: Legends In Exile. I thought it was such an interesting combination of the real world combined with the fairy tales. All the characters really began to come to life and some were introduced that I didn't really know about and had to look up on the internet in order to get a backstory on them. I thought the way the characters were portrayed was very smart and ingenious. I loved the way that some of the villains have turned new leaves and are good people worthy of the readers admiration and respect. Whereas beloved characters like prince charming are now disgusting and unideal role models. I think the look into the mind and hearts of the characters rather than just their surface depictions is a really interesting idea. It really throws you for a loop to have everything you know about the tales tuned backwards but I though it was a good backwards. I found this reading to be my favorite of the year by far. I have already looked into where to get the next stories in the series and plan on asking for them for christmas.
