Tourists of the world unite! If youve ever craved a guided tour of Fabletowns secret Manhattan location, prepare to be voraciously satiated. Pinnochio has a field day taking a certain VIP around the city. And exactly which Fabletown denizens are no longer active (dead, alive or otherwise) just might shock you into a comic book coma. Also in this volume, youll find the 4-part story featuring Freddy and Mouse, two local rogues who just want to get along and perhaps turn a bit of profit in the post-war, topsy-turvy world. Meanwhile, in Fabletown, a new political group forms called the Society of Seconds, and what they want doesnt seem very reasonable at all. Review One of the best damn series ever written. This clever, enjoyable series ... is an excellent series in the tradition of Sandman, one that rewards careful attention and loyalty. Readers will delight in his mischievous take on such sacred childrens archetypes, especially Prince Charmings unapologetic smarminess. An epic, beautifully written story that places Fables, familiar characters from folklore, in the mundane world after a mysterious Adversary conquers their homelands ... the series has proved tremendously popular.
