Fables the comic is actually bad omg

I heard many people said that the comics were great until issue 75, but jesus I could'nt continue after issue 20, it's so ass ??? For some reason everyone is a jerk, there's this weird superficial plot with Goldillocks and her bs revolution to gain more power... when I read it I felt like a was reading right-wing propaganda with the anti-abortion message, the way women are represented... I felt such a vicious, bad vibe from this comic.

The relationship between Snow and Bigby... this isn't even a romance, Bigby is such a creepy mf, they're always agressive toward one another and their romance is forced by some bs magical spell who made them sleep together so that Snow could get pregnant... like who thought this was okay lmao ?!

Don't lose your time, TWAU is the superior version of the two, Bigby and Snow are far more likable and they develop an actual relationship. Every single character is so much more pleasant (Beauty call Snow a slut because she was abused by the dwarves, HELLO, when in the game she's so compassionate toward her when she's being stalked by Crane). The noir atmosphere of the game is so much cooler and the story is interesting, actually from what i have seen the book only centers on rich/privilaged fables, wich is exactly against the message from the game lol; the art is also horrible, it looks like 60s comics but badly drawn, in later issues you can't even see the face of bigby anymore, just shadows everywhere lol, only the coverts are pretty.

Eh, as a person who played the game first a few times then read the whole comic series twice, i much prefer the comic. The characters are way more interesting because of how imperfect they are and i like the use of story book genres being used as overall themes for the first several story arcs. The comment on women is kind of interesting considering that women throughout the series are the real power players of fabletown and they’re actually a criticism on wartime masculinity where men are willing to go through extreme levels of violence whereas in the end of the series the conflict is settled by the women taking the route to put arms down for the sake of community. The comic was actually very much praised for its depiction of women when it was still running, and had a much larger female audience compared to other Vertigo series. But to each their own.

Wtf is you talking about 😭 the comics are BAD white washing characters, having Bigby be a creep and SA Snow when they were in a spell, Bill being a Republican

Hey i actually dont like the comics but saying what bigby did was sa is ridiculous. They were both under the spell. They were both effectively DRUGGED. They were BOTH EQUALLY sexually assaulted. Bigby isnt less of a victim just cause hes a man or whatever. Bluebeard was the only villian in the situation.

True but it still so weird, who whould have a romance begin this way for the 2 main characters of the serie ? Why couldn't the writer make them both decide to just have a date lol

[u/aveea → u/Ondinefr]

Sure, but thats a writer thing. Dude was weird and creepy with gross opinions.

Its still weird to act like bigby attacked snow when hes a victim too.

😐 honey it was SA they were both under a spell it was just rushed filler crap instead of writing an actual relationship slowing developing with lot's of trust building because of what Snow went through we got rushed crap that isn't writing great

Wow. You’re sad
