Fables #73
Fabletown has finally gone to war against the Homelands, and they've brought powerful allies with them! Prince Charming and his fire team serves aboard the sky-treading gunship Glory of Baghdad, which is commanded by Sinbad and crewed by Arabian Fables. At the same time Bigby Wolf leads a mixed squad of commandos, Animal Fables and giants from the Cloud Kingdoms into the very heart of the Empire. The war has begun, but how will the Empire respond? This is the first issue of a 3-part story that will culminate in the oversized issue #75, changing the face of Fabletown forever.

Oh yes, most definitely. The arc that is starting this issue will be just as epic and probably a lot better than Secret Invasion or Final Crisis.

I'm picking up issues, but I can't read them until the next trade comes out. It's so frustrating! I have all these issues that looks so awesome, and I just have to wait. Oh well. I'll get to this in june.

The best, most consistent title going today. I honestly can't think of an issue I've really disliked.

Remeber the Mike Allred-drawn issue? Probably my favorite. It kind of seems like Willingham has been meandering for a couple issues, since one of the characters (I forget who) revealed that the invasion had already begun, like, 3 issues ago, and we have yet to see anything really happen with it. Don't get me wrong, I love the book as always, especially the espionage stuff, but jeez, lemme see this freakin invasion already!

@ActualButt-He wrote it that way for a reason, so we could get some background on a critical part of the war without having to break into the story itself. Now he can focus completely on the war and nothing else. It's perfect.

What I love about this book is how long it takes to read. I was reading this issue and enjoying it, and then I got sad that it was going to end soon, so I check to see how many pages were left, and I was only half-way through it. That was pretty awesome. Anyway, great issue.

Great issue. I wasn't too big of a fan of the last two arcs, but this issue was great.
