I think I enjoyed this spin-off of the Fables universe more than any of the main series run. I say this despite being put-off by the overly super-hero style of the artwork. I like Briar Rose as a character, and I wonder if knowing her eventual fate in the series - which is non-traditional and heroic as hell -
influenced my liking of this piece. I have also always been a fan of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, despite its misogynistic overtones, and this really dives into that and probably enhances it.
My only complaint is Ali Baba, who seems included simply because he isn't anywhere else in the series. He is largely irrelevant, despite being an important pair of lips. Maybe that's fine.
