Fairest #15 – Review

The Story: If you’re a Fable with an appetite for sex, India’s your kind of place.

The Review: As a real latecomer to Fables (my first issue being #104), it’s not surprising that I missed out on quite a lot of the series’ history.  I’m not just talking about major events, like everything to do with the Empire, either.  There are some characters whom I’ve heard of only in name and never actually go to see, as they were long dead by the time I got around to the series: Boy Blue, Goldilocks, and Prince Charming, to name a few.

Still, you’d be amazed how much familiarity and attachment you can develop for a character with a thorough reading of their Wikipedia entry.  So while longtime fans of the series may be far more enthused about the return of Charming (which I don’t consider a spoiler since it is only right there on the cover), I can honestly say I’m quite intrigued, too.  I’ve heard a great deal about the resilience of a Fable, even one that’s killed, so I’m very interested to see it in action.
