Fables, Vol. 9: Sons of Empire
by Bill Willingham
Fables keeps up the momentum in this title about planning and murdering.
So as we can see the Adversary is building his army. Creating plans to take fabletown and the whole world. Why not, right? he already took the homelands for the most part, what's another world to him and his people? So we see a lot of planning on their side but also some planning on the side of Fabletown, including even Bigsby growing as a father and also a great assest to his people. This is mostly a set up volume, but a damn good one at that.
Good: The art is still very solid and different than anything else. The build up is interesting from both sides. They keep trying to one up each other and we all know some shit is going to go down soon. Watching Bigsby and Snow White together, taking care of their kids, and meeting Bigsby father in his homeland was super fun.
Bad: Some of the little side stories are more distracting than interesting and they kind of hurt the pacing at points.
Overall, loving the feel of this all out war coming. I dunno who's going to die, but some shit is going to go down. A 4 out of 5.
