5.0star
The final volume of this most elegant of FABLES spin-offs is here! Rose Red reigns over a New Camelot, while Snow White hunts for the soul of her slain husband, Bigby Wolf. Yes, it's a wild time for the Fables...the ones who look human, that is. Their four-legged, furry, finned, feathered and flowery fellows, however, are all stuck twiddling their appendages on the Farm-a fate that stinks worse than fertilizer. All except Reynard, of course. That wily fox has finagled his way into Rose Red's service as one of New Camelot's knights, complete with a glamour-a magic spell that enables him to take on human form at will. His tall tales of derring-do might be a lot of hot air, but they're sparking a small-scale rebellion on the Farm as the cooped-up inhabitants agitate for glamours of their own. The answer can be found in THE CLAMOUR FOR GLAMOUR-collecting FAIREST #27-33 and lovingly crafted by Mark Buckingham, Bill Willingham, Russ Braun and Meghan Hetrick!
