Award-winning for a reason
5 stars
Fables is one of the best ongoing comic series, in my opinion (although it did stop... And then has started again? This is the first compendium of four, which covers the original run of 150 issues).
Essentially, all your fairy tale characters are real, and have fled into the mundane world, living in New York. The reason for their departure from their various "Homelands" is due to an enemy known only as "The Adversary", who's swept over the various fable lands, killing and conquering.
What I think is really good, and the real strength of this series, is the sheer amount of depth that is allowed and explored in what are very familiar characters, and then how they fit in with each other and as a community.
I would, and do, thoroughly recommend this series to anyone.

I got the deluxe box set of all four compendiums a while ago, so it's about time I finally got around to reading them.
I'm pretty sure I've actually already read all the content on this first compendium, but I'll appreciate the refresher!

Barbarius reviewed Batgirl: Year One by Chuck Dixon (Batgirl)
Great Year One story
4 stars
Beatty and Dixon have written a few of these, inspired by and in homage of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. Barbara Gordon is such a great character, and this story gives her a great starting point. One that's independent of any future reboot of change of canon. She's fierce, independent, and generally just kick-ass!
