For years, Snow White and Bigby Wolf's cubs have grown up knowing that one of them was destined for a much greater, more grave role amongst the Fables community. But no one knew how soon it would come.
When Snow and Bigby's cub Therese receives a Christmas gift from an unknown admirer, this red plastic boat magically takes her on a journey to a desolate place known as Toyland. Will Therese be their savior? Or their destroyer? FABLES VOL. 18: CUBS IN TOYLAND is the latest epic from New York Times best-selling author Bill Willingham's hit series FABLES, as the Bigby Wolf cubs learn that adventures in the land of misfit toys is much less fun than it sounds.
It's been awhile since i picked up a Fables volume. I love this series. I love seeing the fairy tale characters grow and change. I love seeing them interact with each other. I love the enemies and the dangers. I love seeing the various worlds. This volume had a great storyline focused on Snow White and Bigby's cubs. Although, I must say that I was very surprised by the dark turn about halfway through the volume. I was not expecting that at all. At any rate, I'm excited to read more in the next volume, but I have to wait until December.
