For Your Reading Pleasure

Not everyone who reads this site will have the slightest interesting in comics. Some of you may even be actively adverse to them. However, this is my site so I get to recommend what I want to and in this case it's a comic: Fables.

Fables is a superbly crafted story whose basic backstory is that many centuries ago a war was fought against an unnamed adversary who ultimately triumphed with the result that many storybook characters were exiled from their homes and ended up living in modern day New York.

I've been trying to think of a way to plug this for a little while (things on this site will be plugged on basis that if I like something and I want to see more things like it, the best way to go about it is to get lots of people (i.e you) to consume the thing I like), but then I came across this review of the latest issue courtesy of Paul O'Brien which sums it all up ever so well:

FABLES #17 - Fans of the extended fight scene won't want to miss this issue, as it includes seven straight pages of Snow White versus Goldilocks - to the death! With a machete! Come on, that's got to be worth your $2.50. Snow White, Goldilocks, machete. Where else are you going to get that kind of action? Meanwhile, Prince Charming disposes of a dead body, by wandering around carrying it over his shoulder and announcing loudly "I'm just going to dispose of this dead body." What a great issue.

There, how can you fail to be intrigued?

Now go. Consume.
