Conflict with the comic?
I know this is a silly thing to bring up, but as Snow White dies in the game and is later a character in the comics. I was under the assumption that this was the same universe and TWAU was before Fables takes place. So, what's the deal? Is it only "based" off the comic? Or is Snow White's death going be "altered?"

Hey,
I thought about the same thing, but my guess is that her death is fake..the title of the next episode is "smoke n mirrors"...!
1- Her death may be fake
2- She dies at some point in volume 2 of the comics (bullet in the head) and comes back. She is near immortal due to her popularity as a Fable among the Mundys. However she came back from her shot to the head with some physical damage that took a long time to heal and some other fables (quite popular ones) were decapitated in the same story and didn't survive so you might think a decapitation may be fatal, even for Snow.
So knowing that and considering TWAU has been confirmed as being a canonical prequel to the comics, I'd go with the "her death is fake" idea even though their is a possibility that she might somehow survive that whole ordeal.
The fact Telltale is basing their games on comic books have a reasons. In my opinion it was 99% fake death (like Green Tee explained) but still there's one fact really good to know. Games, TV Shows or even movies based on original comic HAVENT to be exactly same as the original story. Good example is new show on CW "Arrow" (dont know, if you know). All characters are based on comic but plots in many episodes are mostly producted by new scenary. I think TWOU have a bit same progress.
However, TWAU is a prequel, not an adaptation of the comics' events; it's set before the comics and is supposed to fit in the continuity as a cononical prequel. Arrow is an adaptation, a retelling of what happens in the comics, which is quite different.
Even prequel must have same main characters. And Im talking about charaters. I know Arrow is 'quite different', yes, its adaptation, but I must have same characters and no one, who actually didnt died in comic, simply cant die in this asaptation. And TWOU works really similiar, I think.
Yeah but it does follow the comics.
She didn´t die, she was close but didn´t die in the end. Prince Charming died and lated reapeared though, but it took him a long time and he is one of the most popular fables.
But Colin, though. COLIN, WHY?!
The three little pigs reappeared, but they weren´t Colin and his bros, they were dragons transformed in pigs. But the thing is that the three little pigs are popular enough to have to reappear one way of another. It´s not very clear why or how some fables are able to reappear. If Snow White dies she is a popular enough fable to come back but maybe is a different Snow White the one who reappears, in an unknown place and in an unknown time.
Actually Stark777, the three little pigs that came back in the second volume of the comics were the three sleeping giants that rose red had to try and conceal. Not dragons.
At the beginning of issue 10 she is in Limbo with Colin.
Later Rose says: "Your head was blown all over my shirt" and "If it had been me I'd be dead." She explains how Snow is still alive because the Mundys love her so much. I think she technically died when she got shot but was kept barely alive due to her popularity. (Like someone who has a heart attack, he is technically dead because his heart stopped but he can be brought back if you jump start the heart; The way I understand it, her popularity pulled her back from the dead; but I may be wrong, the way death works among Fables seems a bit confusing)
Oh yeah, you are right
Well, it isnt clear enough, so you can believe she died. I just believe she is very very hard to kill due her popularity, she was in coma when she saw Colin but didn´t really die. When a fable dies it take a time to reappear again, like Prince Charming. But that is just my opinion
Fair enough ^^
