Fables comics

in The Wolf Among Us

I was thinking about reading the fables comics because I love the wolf among us game but I'm not really sure what they are about. If anyone has read them are they similar to the game? And what is the general story line without giving too many spoilers?

    They are different to the game. It doesn't really focus on Bigby that much. They also get quite boring because some of the issues are just people talking. So if you liked TWAU for it's action and because Bigby is in it. I wouldn't really recommend them. But if you want to explore the magical side of TWAU, then maybe.

    Fables is HUGE. I mean really really big, it focuses on everyone and not just one person. Bigby and Snow are 'central characters' but they don't appear in every issue (Bigby especially) and the story isn't always about them. The comics were created LONG before the game was conceived so don't expect many references to the game or certain characters to show up.

    The comics have less swearing overall but the violence can still be graphic and bloody, plus there is nudity in the earlier issues (but it's mostly just bare breasts)

    If you plan on getting an understanding of the entire story then you pretty much need to read every issue and every spin-off, the story branches out to the spin-offs as well and is carried on by them in places.

    Any more questions then ask away! :D

    If you like I can give you a timeline so that you can pretty much read everything in order. The story is disjointed at times due to branching off to a spin-off series...

    The first few issues are very much like Wolf Among Us, later on they do start to stray away from Mysteries and focus more on the Homelands, and Bigby is in almost every issue.

    Reading from the Volumes. He disappears from Volume 5 to Volume 8 and then again from Volume 19 to Volume 20.

    I was quite surprised at how underused Bigby was in the comics, Snow appears a lot more then he does!
