Fable comics worth reading?
I've never been into comics but after playing wolf among us which was fantastic I was wondering if the comics are any good? Are they like the game or is the game loosely based off the comics at best?

Well for one, I personally think the comics are brilliant.
Secondly, they follow in a slightly different vein (or rather multiple). You see, the comics do still feature Bigby and Snow quite prominately, but there are other characters whom are explored. The comics are not as noir-saturated as the game (particularly as of now), but this does not deminish at all.
To put it simply, of course they are worth reading.
EDIT: I have been informed of recent changes in policy so I removed this paragraph.
I needed to remove your link as that website contains pirated comics and it is against the rules to link to websites like that.
As the Forum Guidelines where recently updated to include comics i am going to give everyone a warning as it's easy to miss the changes but please refrain from posting links to such websites in the future.
If anyone is interested in the comics you can buy them from comiXology, by purchasing them you are showing support to Bill Willingham and the Fables series.
Thank you. I missed that update. You have given me a godsend.
YES!!!!!! THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!! XD XD XD
Yes, if you liked Wolf Among Us, youll most likely love the comics
Oh yes, definitely. In my opinion, the first volume is kind of underwhelming on the first read, but after getting more volumes I had more appreciation for it. And definitely get the spinoff volumes, those are great too. You should probably start with 1001 Nights of Snowfall, it's a great introduction to the series.
Hell, it is the only comic that I follow with all my heart.
^ THIS!
I got into them after playing episode 1 and they're certainly worth a look. IMO they're not as 'wholesome' as the games. Meaning the endings might not be as happy. Some pretty beloved characters also die. So if you're up for all that then go ahead and read them. The last issue will be out in July so no better time to start now and become a die hard fan in the next two months.
Like others have said, if you like the game, you'll definitely enjoy the comics. You will not be disappointed.
I don't read many comics, but Fables is one of the few series that I am following pretty much everything (main comic, all spinoff series, novels, crossover, encyclopedia etc and TWAU comic) and aiming for the complete collection.
I guess it could be also said that Fables changed my life.
Definitely one of the best comics of the past 15 years. I say you should give them a shot if you liked the game.
It's definitely worth reading. You won't regret it.
