It depends on how popular are, Fables like Bigby and Snow get movies, books, TV shows, games, and their stories are told when your a little kid in school. Fables like Georgie, Price Lawrence, and Faith are not as known Like are not as strong and able to take a beating like Bigby.
Few fables die except through powerful magic. However, they do put modern technology to good use in the struggle against the forces of the A… moredversary.
As for Bigby, as others have said, he's basically a god. And Snow White is a wellspring of enormous untrained sorcerous energies.
As for some of the others who survive horrendous energies from time to time, there's no real explanation other than the in-universe popular=power theory that they don't all subscribe to. The head of the 13th floor witches, for instance, doesn't buy into that theory.
There's also an in-universe Master Storyteller theory -- that their power levels are all dependent on a god-like Master Storyteller who determines the fates of all of their lives. Of course, this could just be an in-universe theory that everyone in the universe is precisely as powerful as Bill Willingham wants them to be for whatever story he wants to tell.
True, but several of those that die later get brought back to life through magic, so I wasn't really sure how to consider those.
Can't remember right off-hand who besides Colin who died without powerful magic and never seems to come back to physical life in one manner or another.

Yes, he's from Jack and Jill as well. If I remember right he's said to be from the following:
Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack the Giant Killer
Little Jack Horner
Jack be Nimble
Jack Frost
Jack o' Lantern
Jack and Jill
And possibly others? He mostly goes by the name Jack Horner, but he's gone by other names as well such as Jack Candle. Several characters in Fables are amalgamations of two or more characters. Jack, Bigby, Snow White, Prince Charming, Frau Totenkinder (the witch), etc.
Pretty sure he's also the Jack of "Jack and Jill" fame, and the original Jack of the Lantern. Probably some others.
Snow White is actually an amalgamation of two different characters named "Snow White" also.
I have to say she's not disgusted by Bigby so much as she was put off by the way he approached her. The fact that he used her sister's murder to trick her into basically going on a date with him was, you have to admit, pretty callous. I owe that to the fact that he's not that experienced with women. He said once that, since his natural state is as a wolf, he wasnt attracted to human females until he met Snow. Something about her scent attracted him. Also, I think that Snow's experiences with Crane are what made her keep up this professional wall between her and Bigby for so long.
No one remembers Lawrence because he's a made up red shirt character, as is Faith. That's why I got the impression they weren't going to kil… morel any known "good guys" because they made up their own characters, like Lily, that they could dispose of in order to keep it seemingly serious. I never did try to get killed in the game by doing nothing, but I got the distinct impression that no matter what I did the ending of the game and of each altercation would still be the same. In The Walking Dead game you can certainly be killed if you don't succeed. I feel like this game was mostly for the watching and a safe affair.
Looking up "Donkeyskin" now, I see that it is an actual written Fairy Tale, by Charles Perrault. Sounds like some of the ideas presented in it actually inspired Cinderella. The name Faith, however, is never used in the tale, nor is Lawrence. And, as we all know, no one knows this story. This makes the characters in it much more saf… [view original content]
You really have to get farther in the books. He's not weak or jittery. He backs down from confrontations with Bigby because he knows he cou… moreld never take him on. (Bigby has already wiped the floor with him at least once.) I don't remember him being afraid of Rose in the books...? They were dating.
Jack is sly, conniving, egotistical, weasely, and he talks a big game (that is, he flat out lies). He can fight when he has to, but he fights dirty and he'd rather worm his way out of confrontations than actually get into a physical altercation. The Jack Frost thing was temporary and it's explained very well in the books. It's not like his basic nature is the Lord of Winter or anything. Jack is pretty much your average trickster character from folklore. That's why he's portrayed as a character who's both a weasel and a survivor. He can wiggle his way out of anything. He's kind of like a cockroach.

The more popular a person/fable is to the mundy the harder the will be to kill. Yet they are not immortal, but they can die.
Bigby also has the power to die 7 times and come back alive. So until he use up all 7 of his life he wont die. Bigby future also says that he will out live both snow and his children.
Again Bigby is immortal but can die. Also Bigby is nerf big time in the game. He can take a lot more in the comic and is a complete badass. By the time anyone could prob do any damage they would be killed by him .
Play season 1 before reading the comic and read everything after. Cause like people already said it makes more sense. Plus if you just gona wait for the game who no how long you will have to wait. I mean season 2,3,4 or 5 could happen.

The Donkeyskin I read was very short and none of the characters were particularly bursting with personality. The Prince got love sick and only seeing Donkeyskin again made him better. But he found her ring in the cake she'd baked for him and everyone in the Kingdom was made to try it on. It fit no one so they moved to the servants, of which DS was one, when she tried it and it fit they ended up married. Much like the Cinderella glass slipper.
Donkeyskin contains some elements of Cinderella, but it belongs to a different classification of folk tales. "Cinderella" was the name that … morePerrault gave his version of the story. But it's very old. Just like Donkeyskin.
The interesting thing about the Fables universe is that it's sort of deconstructionist fairy tales. So, it doesn't really matter that Donkeyskin and the Prince seem sweet and likeable (though, I remember the Prince in Donkeyskin being rather morose and whiny when he was pining for the girl and I had to laugh a little when they painted Prince Lawrence as morose). They are taking them away from the fairy tale element and putting them into the new world, and showing how their characters may adapt.
Anyway, I guess that's OT, though. The point is, a lot of people didn't read that story when they were kids (I did, but I was always obsessed with folklore) so that explains Lawrence's lack of popularity.
I'm reading them K. Read the 6th, which appears to be the story someone mentioned before about Snow and Goldy. I enjoyed the first story-arc, which was 1-5.

Beheading is something that pretty much none of them could survive (though, there are exceptions). Bigby is basically a demigod, he is one o… moref the most powerful Fables that there is. Gren, again, is in Dr. Swineheart's words "a titan." He is a legendary monster and he is much stronger and tougher than a human Fable would be. Jersey is also a legendary monster.
I would recommend to stop when Mr. Dark appear. Some stuff after that might spoil the game, as did to me. Knowing what will happen to some elements of the universe ruined my pleasure to play with them in the past.
Yeah, Jack can't beat anyone, but at the point in which that fight happened he could probably duel Mr. North or Mr. Dark, and still escape living the defeat.

Yeah, probably not. North warns the "Super Team" that included Bigby and Ozma, among other powerful fables, that they would never survive a confrontation with Mr. Dark. I don't think he was speaking idly. And if Bigby and Ozma together couldn't survive, I doubt Jack could.

He became Jack Frost when the Snow Queen (Lumi) was very ill to carrying on the winter season to her other sisters' kingdom. So she gave him her powers and thus becoming Jack Frost for awhile, until she took it back and cast Jack away for what he had done.
So another contradiction because he's weak and jittery and nervous and afraid of everything in the game, and if he's Jack Frost, he should b… moree more powerful than almost anyone. Jack Frost has the entire power of Winter behind him. Bigby can put out some strong wind, but not the entire power of winter. Jack is afraid of Bigby, and in the books he's afraid of Rose and... everyone else. Wow what a horrible character to do a spin-off from. I'd rather see a deepening of Bigby's tale. I'm told he's barely in the books after a while. Jack was a sniveling weasel in the game and in the first 5 books I read.
He's not physically powerful, he just can't be easily killed. Jack is a scoundrel in the comics. The game is not far off. Read a little fart… moreher, especially his spin off series, and you'll understand. He's essentially a comedic character because he's so off the wall, bit IMO that's what makes his issues fun to read.

Fables also die from beheading (Colin) and stabbed through the heart (Bluebeard).

No, they are dead but the witching well makes them alive again under the condition they don't leave.

I hope you do get to read the comics and the spin offs. The spin offs for Cinderella are pretty interesting.
Jack is totally like a cockroach, unkillable and pops up where you least expect. The funniest thing about him is his completely over the top ego.
Also John Trick when he was a movie executive.

I guess... I'm collecting the comics at the moment to read one of the comics is coming this Friday!!

In the first story-arc where they fake Rose's death, she calls him all sorts of names and he lowers his head and acts snivellingly.
Goldilocks is a piece of work, lol. Im glad you are enjoying it.
Jack was the cause of this whole ridiculous plan of theirs to fake her death so, yeah he should have been hanging his head in shame, lol
You mean Jack Frost the younger?
Book Spoiler: Bigby and Jack Fight
Prince Lawrence isn't that popular.
However, it took a lot for him to die. How long was he bleeding out?
It's even worse, Violet. Bigby STANDS as a demigod. He could be a god if he wasn't so stubborn about his dad.
I would recommend to stop when Mr. Dark appear. Some stuff after that might spoil the game, as did to me. Knowing what will happen to some elements of the universe ruined my pleasure to play with them in the past.

That issue 100 though...
One of my favorites
Especially in one of the spinoffs.. omg. (Don't want to say which one lol may spoil it)

He gots to be talking about Jack Frost II (Jack and the Snow Queens' son)
And he can actually come up with some good plans lol. But that ending was sick though.
