The first seventy or so issues (until the fight with the adversary) would have made a great series. But Fables has been steadily losing steam for a while now and I wish that they'd just wrap the series up already.

I gave it up partway through the Mr Dark arc, because...I just didn't care, any more.

I stopped reading around after the time the Adversary was defeated too. Been meaning to getting around to reading the trades but... *shrugs*

[alicemacher]

Agreed; the series should've ended with the Adversary's defeat. I soldiered on through the Mr. Dark assault (which came out of nowhere--if he was so dangerous when unsealed, why had he never been mentioned before?), but quit shortly after the sequence with Rose taking to bed in depression (implied to be her fault) and Jack...taking advantage. Or maybe it was the ridiculously-plotted fight between Mr. Dark and a suddenly hottified Frau Totenkinder; I don't remember. Point is, it went on too long and it soon became clear that Willingham, in addition to upping the sexism quotient, was simply running out of coherent ideas.

[ozaline]

I disagree somewhat I mean it was very clear that the story was not going to end with the Adversary's defeat there was still too much that was unresolved with so many of the characters... In particular things between Bigby and his Father, and members of Gepetto's inner circle who had not been killed in the war needed to be brought to Justice like Baba Yaga and the Nome King. There are also elements that Willingham set up way in advance in earlier stories even back before the end of the war that are only coming to fruition now... He might not have known what he was going to do with them, but clearly he knew he was going to do something.

I didn't find it that jarring that Mr. Dark hadn't been mentioned before... after all it was implied he had been imprisoned for a, long, long time, and that all knowledge of him had passed, even Frau didn't know who he was. The arc did, however, go on for way too long no thanks to the horrendous Great Fables crossover. The root of Roses' depression is eventually dealt with, and she takes charge both of her life and the situation around her. And I think that since Mr. Dark the stories have gotten better, and many of the loose ends that were left after the war have been tied up.


I think the crossover probably through the pacing of the Dark Story out of wack... or maybe Willingham dragged his heels on it, but the stuff since then has been in many ways more interesting than the war IMO.
