A little disturbed by Fables vol 1 (major fables comic spoilers)
Me and my gf played through Wolf Among Us and we loved it, she got me the Fables deluxe vol 1 book to start reading.
All of a sudden my favorite character from the game is decapitated! And I'm thinking ok, they'll just heal (which happens a lot to injured characters in the game), but nope. And Bigby didn't seem to shed a tear about it - he basically sent the pig to his death by not letting him stay at his place.
Dude! That's a rough start. I hope they don't kill the frog guy as well.

Mr Toad doesn't make a 'physical' appearance in Fables.
You have to remember that that issue came out in late 2002; TWAU wasn't even an idea at the time. Colin was just an animal that broke off the Farm every now and then and crashed at Bigby's place until the next truck went out to the Farm...
TWAU made him important by establishing a sort of friendship between the two
Trust me when I say that there is A LOT in Fables that makes you go 'why?'
I played TWAU before I had even heard of Fables, so I was shocked to :P
NEVER FORGET
I don't think Telltale even existed when Animal Farm was written.
Wow... 2002....
I would've been about 7 and still thought Treasure Planet on PS1 was awesome :P
At least he is safe then :-)
Seems like reading Fables first before playing the game is the ideal way to experience it. Then it would have just been a glimpse into Colin like an easter egg rather than building up a character only to be decap'd. To make matters worse the reason he was killed is pretty weak... it's pure shock value. Other than that I enjoyed the first volume
Mr Toad does appear... but not in person...
Do you want me to elaborate? (It's not really a spoiler tbh)
Look who I found
That's not Mr Toad...
I'm not lying, you see a grave marked 'Mr Toad' after the War ends. That COULD be TJ, but we never see that character do anything besides just being there...
It would make sense that this would be TJ. Mainly because of the clothes because Mr. Toad usually just wore casual clothes.
Mr. Toad does appear riding a steed during the battle of Fabletown. It's only a panel, but IIRC it is supposed to be him. Also, if that's not Mr. Toad in the above picture, who is it?
Could be TJ...
I thought Mr Toad died during another battle that took place in-between TWAU and Fables issue 1??
Oh. Odd. Perhaps like some other Fables, "a" Mr. Toad comes about after the Mr. Toad died. So, perhaps TJ becomes the "new" Mr. Toad. I mean, after he matures, his last name is Toad. I'd have to see when the tombstone appears and after which battle, I suppose.
Wait...it's not awesome? I only played it when I was 7...
I guess it was pretty cool :P
That and Spider Man 1 and 2 XD
Kind of makes me wonder that if there is a season two, will they keep that in the game? I highly doubt that they would change it just because. Maybe it depends on your choice at the end of season one. If you choose to let him stay, it could postpone his death, whereas choosing to make him go back to The Farm could get him killed immediately. Guess we'll have to just wait and see...
It wouldn't matter. The comic depicts Colin as an annoyance to Bigby as he repeatedly escapes off the Farm and Bigby sends him back at the first opportunity...
We only grew attached to Colin because of TWAU, he MAY appear in Season 2, but atm the moment lets just focus on 2 things:
1) Will there be a Season 2 or a DLC?
2) What will happen next in the Fables comic?
1.) The rumors are that they're definitely doing a season two, but from what I can tell they're focusing more on Borderlands and Game of Thrones. I think if they wanted to go back to it when those are almost done or even after, it's a possibility. I haven't heard anything absolutely official yet.
2.) The last issue of Fables is being released soon. It's #150.
1) That was kind of a rhetorical question :P
2) I know this already, but it's nice to speculate given issue 148's ending
1.) Just kidding, then! -thumbs up here-
2.) Oh, gotcha. It didn't sound like you did before, sorry! I don't read the comics for a couple of reasons, but I remember all the talk about the last couple of released issues. I honestly don't know how much of it they're going to be able to fit in the game, but I guess we'll see, right?
mod edit: I changed the link to the legal online comic site Comixology. Don't post links to illegally uploaded comics
Why don't you read them?
Let me guess
I'll tell you now that you can read the main Fables series and the new TWAU comic on Comixology
I picked one up once and skimmed through it, saw some mature stuff that I wasn't particularly interested in at the time (still not actually), and I've decided I'll try again sometime in the future but not right now. Plus, as ridiculous as it sounds, I need to finish Scott Pilgrim before picking anything else up.
Oh, I didn't know that! Maybe I'll check it out! Thanks for the link.
The mature stuff like nudity dies out as the series goes on, by the 7th Volume nudity is all but gone from the series. There are exceptions in the Graphic Novels however (Werewolves of the Heartlands especially)
You guessed what it was right off the bat. Well, that's good to know. I'm just not a huge fan of it. Kind of just roll my eyes and skip through it or stop reading it altogether. I'd really like to read them someday though, so I'll just have to take it into consideration. Do you have a favorite issue?
well ah just wait until later shit gets real
I buy Volumes instead of issues.... My favourite is probably Volume 8
More specifically it is issue 50 contained within Volume 8, cuz that is the issue where Bigby and Snow realise their love for one another and get married XD
Are you forgetting the photo of Toad and TJ? Toad was wearing the same exact outfit.
That would probably be my favorite too, since I'm very intrigued by their relationship. In other words, I ship it. XD
They have a beautiful relationship!
Whenever we see them together they are usually holding hands, hand on a shoulder or arm etc. and they more commonly refer to each other as:
Their relationship just says "This should've happened a very long time ago" They are also very devoted to one another; in a sense that they truly enjoy each others company and they remain faithful to each other in spite of everything.
BigbyxSnow: My OTP forever!!!!
That sounds absolutely adorable. Gaaaaah, this is making me want to read it. That's probably a good thing, though. XD
