August 31
Fables 150 - plot comes to a halt with some stuff feeling more like fan fiction musings but overall a nice comprehensive sendoff exploring the future of Fables characters and offering some resolutoon. [counting 10 page graphic novel as 5 issues]
Fables 141-149 (Fables tpb volume 21) - really good but with an odd fast pacing stalled by intermingled backstory, nicely closes things off with humorous 'last story of...' interludes.
August 30
Fables 130-140 (Fables tpb volume 20) - fast past twists that keep things interesting with some good imagery and paying off on early plot.
Fairest: In All the Land - I enjoyed the rotating artists in a tale that ties up some loose ends from the core series and adds depth of at least a few side characters; ultimately it doesn't seem to impact the core series but is a nice send off as things come to a close. [counting 150 page graphic novel as 6 issues]
August 29
Fairest 14-20 (Fables tpb volume 3) -
Fairest 7-13 (Fables tpb volume 2) - great imagery with unique fables and plot but oddly retroactively changes a character then sort of nullifies itself. Fun but disposable; hopefully some plot threads get more followup.
August 28
Fables 124-129 (Fables tpb volume 19) - interesting twist and nice focus on snow white but feels like it slips into anticlimatic feeling melodrama.
Cinderella: Fables Are Forever 1-6 - I want to like the basic premise of this plot, which ties in nicely to Jack of Fables, but it's overly long with some happenstance and eyerolling turns.
August 27
Fairest 1-6 (Fairest tpb volume 1) - so far I like Fairest a lot; it builds nicely on Fables better establish the snow queen and giving a cool twist to Beauty/Beast plot.
August 26
Fables 114-123 (Fables tpb volume 18) - surreal adventure with some nice emotional weight.
August 25
Fables 108-113 (Fables tpb volume 17) - rewarding shift of focus.
August 24
Fables 100-107 (Fables tpb volume 16) - clever play on superhero tropes with some amusing antics and a dramatic conclusion that seems abrupt but hits home.
August 23
Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland (original graphic novel) - never have I seen so much silly nudity in a comic but overall it works nicely to tell a cryptic tale that focuses less on Bigby and more on a surreal surroundings, I enjoyed this more than I expected with it's mix of werewolf action and mystery. [counting 149 pages as 6 issues]
August 22
Fables 94-99 (Fables tpb volume 15) - some really nice action and twists that helps build on the conflict introduced too many issues ago, nicely filtered through the perspective of Rose Red who plays a more subtle role in the drama.
August 20
Fables 86-93 (Fables tpb volume 14) - gets things back on a roll shuffling the magical Fables status quo but also taking a too long to pay off with the new villain.
August 19
The Literals 1-3 (Great Fables Crossover, Fables tpb volume 13) - The Great Fables crossover ended up feeling overly long with too big a reliance on cute visual wordplay, some of the Jack of Fables precusor content was miles better because it was more zany and less direct while here the "meta" stuff comes across as condescendingly straightforward. It's a shame that the promising core Fables storyline seemed set aside for such a bare crossover.
Jack of Fables 33-35 (Great Fables Crossover, Fables tpb volume 13)
Fables 83-85 (Great Fables Crossover, Fables tpb volume 13)
Jack of Fables 28-32 (tpb volume 5) - nice payoff from the storyline so far with epic conflict mixed with less effective intentionally obnoxious comedy.
Fables 76-82 (tpb volume 12) - I really enjoyed the introduction of a mystical new villain.
August 18
Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love 1-6 (tpb volume 1) - the worst Fable storyline so far, dialogue feels overlong and awkward without much really going on; some of the Cinderella focused Fables issues were standout but the character gets butchered here with some cringe-worthy moments.
August 17
Fables 70-75 (tpb volume 11) - really nice pay-off after all the set-up, some parts feel abrupt but a good storyline.
Jack of Fables 22-27 (tpb volume 4) - gets too silly and overlong delaying interesting plot set-up for gags spoiling some of the earlier promise in the series.
August 16
Jack of Fables 17-21 (tpb volume 4)
Jack of Fables 12-16 (tpb volume 3) - at this point I'm enjoying the Jack spinoff more than the core Fables series given it's nice meta themes and mystery surrounding the prison, plus it keeps introducing interesting fables.
Jack of Fables 6-11 (tpb volume 2)
August 15
Fables 60-69 (tpb volume 10) rewarding storyline that builds on earlier elements, a highlight of the series so far even if some parts felt too 'magical'
August 14
Fables 52-59 (tpb volume 9) continued build-up
August 13
Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall (graphic novel) Nice bit-size backstory; adds some needed gravity to some characters [Counting 145 pages as 6 issues]
August 12
Fables 48-51 (tpb volume 8) oddly paced seems focused on maneuvering plot points for a building thread; some nice payoff with the wedding but seems abrupt.
August 11
Jack of Fables 1-5 (tpb volume 1) interesting expansion of the Fables universe playing nicely out of the core series but ultimately seems disposable
August 10
Fables 42-47 (tpb volume 7) - ok... but seems like too much of a tangent, unless it pays off later, and some plot feels too 'magical.'
August 7
Fables 34-41 (tpb volume 6) - nice focus on Boy Blue giving a varied take on the mythology and other worlds.
August 6
Fables 22, 28-33 (tpb volume 5) - the Cinderella stuff feels far out but is maybe necessary to build a darker tone; the series starts to falter some in this collection.
August 4
Fables 19-21, 23-27 (tpb volume 4) - a high point in the series so far, really enjoying the plot.
August 3
Fables 11-18, Last Castle [1 shot] (tpb volume 3) - able to do a lot with the limited set of characters so far. Some of the one shot stories are less interesting so the flow suffers a bit but issues 15-18 are some of the best so far despite the silly twist with Bigby.
August 2
Fables 6-10 (tpb volume 2) - better, surprisingly dark.
August 1
Fables 1-5 (tpbvolume 1) - cute but aside from randomly titling the characters after fairy tales doesn't seem like a good fit to the theme or '150 issues later' good; the climax feels broadcast in advance.
