Fables vol. 16: Super Team. Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham et al; graphic novel, 148 pages
Okay! so! Big final showdown with the biggest of big bads so far! STRANGELY ANTICLIMACTIC? I don't want to give out spoilers but man, the pacing in this volume was kind of weird and by the end it was like...um..okay? Is that really what you're gonna do? It felt a little deus ex machina, to be honest.
But, all that aside, it is tough to manage a story that has a giant cast like this one, and it was good to see the different perspectives of the various characters on this horrible unwinnable war.
Also! The lead-in to the next issue sounds way interesting! This should not come as a surprise, really, because I've always felt like the Bigby stories are the most solid and compelling of the series. He can certainly border on martyr territory, like many heroes, but overall I love his character arcs.
