Willingham takes Fables' favorite good-guy wolf Bigby on a road trip through middle America, ostensibly in search of a new location for Fabletown (which was destroyed in the real series). In reality, this book is a weak, useless story about a town full of werewolves who hunt regular humans (though that's glossed over) and regularly kill one another (also glossed over). They're led by Bigby's old military buddy and his ex-Nazi wife, who have become werewolves (in a somewhat odd way) and have a pack of werewolf kids (who are so two-dimensional it's pathetic). One of these kids, Oda, has premonitions about Bigby's arrival, and attempts to seduce Bigby once he arrives in town. What are these premonitions, why does she get them, and why does she try to sleep with Bigby? No idea.
This either should have been a single issue (or less) of Fables or it should have gotten a lot more details; either would have been better than this ridiculous story. As it is, it's not worth the hour it'll take you to read it.
On the upside: hey, 144 more pages and another book on the blog!
