Fables The Wolf Among Us 2
Reviews

Spin-offs from the Fables series are often uneven, but The Wolf Among Us probably takes the prize as the one of the strongest of them all, giving readers a thorough and interesting look into an aspect of the series that we never got to see. It's a noir take on Fables, a genre quite fitting when you're following the Big Bad Wolf around the seedier areas of Fable Town. What makes this particular volume so interesting is the backstory that it gives the narrative that was not present in the video game. (view spoiler)[By the end of the book, however, you realise half of those flashbacks are actually looking forward, giving the book an extremely noir ending (hide spoiler)]. If you are a fan of Fables or gritty fantasy detective series, The Wolf Among Us is a fun read. The shifting art styles get annoying sometimes, but the the narrative is strong nevertheless. Also, Bloody Mary is an amazing addition to the Fables canon! She's such a horrifying villain.
