Fables is awesome. OMG. Trade 11 ends a major arc, awesome time to get into the series!

I wasn't as impressed with vol 2 as I was with 1 but ill give it another try

I like a mystery you see

I need to read this last book. Vol 11? The first Volume blows, the second one is so-so, but they get better from there. It's not a masterpiece, but it is entertaining.

didn't like the big reveal so i stopped reading

I'd also say it gets alot better as it goes on... though I thought Vol. 10 wasn't so great $:-\$
I still need to read 11 (will get it for Christmas hopefully).
The series is good fun and didn't get old to me like some other long ones, but I guess there's nothing too medium-defining about it or anything.

James Jean covers

His AIDs posters are amazing

Wow so far this thread has dumb lozars!

In the interest of not judging a book by it's cover, you should probably post some of the interior pages. Not because the art is bad, per se, but it's not James Jean doing it.

Good series though.

You should ALWAYS judge a book by its cover. For example, if the author's name is larger than the title of a book on the cover, its crap

I like it, but you know what I really like? Mike Carey's Lucifer.

I'm halfway through the series now (thanks, 16GB psp!) and it's crazy good. CRAZY GOOD. I mean, it stars Satan. I can't even write a coherent sentence about this thing right now. Maybe when i calm down.

I can't decide what to think, I'll wait for Greatness Gone to tell me the news

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #15 on:** December 03, 2008, 09:58:44 PM »

HELL FUCKING YES to Lucifer, no to Fables.

PD, Lucifer is a Sandman spin-off.

littlemathletics · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2008, 10:10:10 PM »

Best covers in comics today, no contest.

seconded

it's absolutely amazing.

check out his prose works too starting with The Devil You Know

Eric P - will do. I've read some other good-to-great stuff from him (My Faith in Frankie etc) but nothing with the sweep of Lucifer.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2008, 12:32:24 AM »

yeah, Lucifer > Fables

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2008, 12:49:53 AM »
