Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Although quite political, the second story-arc (as they felicitously call a plot in comics land) from Willingham's Fables comics isn't a version of Orwell's political parable. In it the scene shifts from the New York enclave of the human Fableland exiles to the upstate farm their animal and insufficiently human-appearing fellows inhabit. Snow White, who runs things for King Cole, makes her biannual farm visit, with fractious sister Rose Red in tow. There they find manager Weyland Smith nowhere in evidence and many nonhuman Fables talking up repatriating Fableland by force. What has actually happened is a still-covert coup led by animal-rights-spouting revolutionary Goldilocks. Snow and Rose get significantly up a creek before learning what's afoot from loyal Reynard, who, though a genuine fox, isn't above ogling those of other species. Despite some grisly developments, including a black-hand-style murder and a nearly successful assassination, this is about as much fun, if as conventional-comics looking, as Fables: Legends in Exile [BKL F 1 03].

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome series!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012

I received Fables Legends in Exile as a birthday present, and I loved it. It is amazingly done...a whole new twist to every fairytale you were told. All of them are now living in New York City trying to pass as regular humans. I won't spoil it further, but it is definitely worth to read it. The writer has done an awesome job at adding so many fairytale characters and adding humor and story twists to the storyline. So far, I have read the entire series that has been released thanks to more birthday presents and Amazon. I highly recommend it. This series made me realize that I missed more graphic novels and comic books. So, I started to catch up with some comic books and graphic novels that I hadn't read in a while.

More importantly, this book is more for young adults and adults. It does have some mature things happening, so maybe not for teenagers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland....
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016

Anyone with 10th grade knowledge of literature knows where this story is going. Snow White and Rose Red travel to the Farm, the fable community for the fables who can't pass for human, to find that a revolution is afoot. If something isn't done, it will soon be all out war.

Willingham shows he has a great grasp on writing characters. The cast list for the first volume was already long, and this volume expanded it even further. The one weakness I would have to pick out is Snow White. She starts this story too slow on the uptake of what;s going on, and I don't think it fits with someone who is supposed to be ruling Fabletown. The artwork, too, is an inspiration.

I'm ready to check at vol. 3 after this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still amazing in 2013!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
I'm still new to the Fables stories and noticed that there are some hardcovers available as well. Doesn't matter! The story itself won't get better, it'll just feel a little nicer to hold and look at. I'm also not too easily wowed by extras. I only buy hardcovers when they are cheaper than the paperbacks, and seeing as there are USUALLY... two original paperback volumes per hardcover, they end up being the same anyhow. Still, that is not always the case, I prefer a little originality and age in my books so until the omnibus or absolutes show up, I'm in no hurry for a defective hardcover(look into hardcover reviews for clarification). The product descriptions really tell you all you need to know, a story about a revolt at the farm is nice and complete in this 100+ page volume of amazingness.

5.0 out of 5 stars The series takes a darker, more mature turn
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2006
Verified Purchase
In the first volume of collected "Fables" stories, we were introduced to the Fables by way of a murder mystery. That case solved, this second volume brings back the main characters from the first book, but most of the action takes place on "The Farm," an upstate refuge/prison for Fables who can't blend into human society, which was only mentioned in the first book.

Many of the inhuman Fables are seething with resentment at being confined on the Farm, and Snow White and Rose Red arrive there to find a nascent revolution. The story proceeds from there with several twists and turns, but the most striking thing about this volume is that there's a lot more bloodshed. We're introduced to a bunch of new fairy tales come to life (such as the characters from "The Jungle Book" and the Bre'r family) and some significant characters die (and quite graphically). My favorite new character is probably the violent pseudo-Maoist revolutionary Goldilocks, who makes for a twisted villain indeed.

If you became a fan of Bigby the Wolf in the first volume, you won't see as much of him in Volume 2; he isn't part of the main story. However, we do get a lot more character development for Snow White and Rose Red, and we learn a little more about how "mundy" fairy tales actually impact the Fables' lives.

This book got even better in this second arc. The conflict makes sense. The escalation is believable and not forced. The art and coloring stand out for me. Nothing else I read looks like this. I can highly recommend this book.

I'm enjoying his this series is building upon itself while retaining the key elements from all of the fairy tales I loved as a child. I also like the semi retro artwork that reminds me of the drawing styles of golden age of DC and Marvel (minus the superheroes). Great writing and a (ahem...pun incoming) killer storyline with fun links to literary classic Lord of the Flies. A fun read and I recommend it.
