Fables is back!
If your immediate response to this statement is, 'what the hell is Fables?', then stick around to find out why you should pick up this incredible comic book series.
If you are already a Fables fan, do you think it would work better as a movie or TV show?

Another great Fables video: • You Need to Read Fable...

My mom's comic-loving friend got my mom and I into Fables. I was perhaps a bit young for the material at first (I'm pretty sure I stared wide-eyed and embarrassed when I saw that panel of Charming at that waitress's apartment, and that's not to mention the blood, gore, and swearing in the series), but I still enjoyed it, and I latched on to the kid characters hard. (Pinocchio doesn't count as a kid character, if you've read the series. That is a grown-ass man in a 10-year-old's body. Not that I dislike him, he's just not as cool as the cubs.)
That is a panel I wouldn't want to read with my parents looking over my shoulder 😅
I’m currently reading this DC Vertigo imprint series, I love it! Fables returned last year under the replaced DC Black Label imprint, and even a Bigby Wolf Batman crossover.
and then theres me who got into this series by playing the wolf among us. Part two is coming out next year and i am not ready at all D:
That's how I first discovered the series too! Can't wait for part 2. Considering doing a playthrough
The game will likely come out in 2026
Love the old fables told since I was a child, it will teach children to be wise and be more morally inclined to goodness. Disney did change the way it was meant to be taught to make younger ones not be turned off by the original tale of reality featured...
Totally true! In fairness to Disney, an accurate depiction of Cinderella would have had parents diving for the remote 😅
Don't forget if you fall in love with Bigby Wolf (when), you can play The Wolf Among Us!!!
Have played it! Loved it! Can't wait for part 2!
@@ElliotEdits Hopefully the sequel can release in the next year or so. It's been such a long, painful wait!
@@Amadeus_ If it does, I'll try do a playthrough
I'm sold! you're very convincing. I'm ordering the first compendium.
Brilliant! Let me know what you think when you've read it
4 all together. May get it as well
I got an attempt at the joke for you. "Unfortunately for Snow White and the other Fables the big apple can be just as suffocating as a poison apple."
Better than anything I could come up with 🤣 thanks!
I remember seeing the real life Cinderella adaptation when I was about 6/7 ( at school 1986/7). It was the scariest movie I'd ever seen and needless to say I cried and buried my head in my teacher. You never forget these types of moments!!
Did it include the step-sisters disfiguring their feet to fit into the slipper?
I want to seriously see a fables TV series
So much potential!
Me too. It would work as an adult animated series.
There a good chance it might, it won't surprise me
AND ALSO. My mom was always hoping the story would bring in tales from East Asia, but we didn't get much of that. The characters are largely European except for Mowgli (who was created by a European writer) and a handful of ambiguously Arab characters. I understand the spinoff comics has more of that, though, like the spinoff Rapunzel comic that takes place partially in Japan and has at least one kitsune.
Speaking of the spinoffs, my mom and I did start reading Jack of Fables, but _oh my gosh_ Jack is waaay too unlikable for either of us. His supporting cast is great--love the Pathetic Fallacy, love the Page sisters, love Alice. But oh my gosh, Jack could not get injured enough for me!
Haha! I totally agree with you, Jack was never my choice for a spin off. Much better as a main series character Bigby could bully.
The one volume of Fairest I have read was the one centred around Rapunzel. It does tackle Japanese folklore and sparked an interest in me. Would recommend!
Once Upon a time was a crappy knock off of Fables. I was so disappointed with Disney.
I haven't watched much of it admittedly, but from what I have seen, the comics are far superior
Once was soft. Started off good. Disney messed it up. Look what they did to the last Star Wars sequels 🗑️👎. Bobba Fett sucked 🤮🤮. Made him weak.Marvel shows are hit or miss. Mostly miss 😡😡😡. Soft and weak.
I always find Fables much better than Once Upon a Time. Fables handles actual characters and creatures from fairy tales and folktales. While Once emphasized on the Disney versions with a low budget quality show.
@@francoisdemorcy5084Disney didn't mess it up
The writers did because they never expected the show to be that much of a hit and last multiple seasons
So it's the writers
Saying its Disneys fault is too simplified
Disney actually gave the writers access to its library of characters even Frozen characters
@shippendales8543 true. The writers did not execute it well That is why a lot of there stuff is stale and repetitive. Fables was harder than Once. It just went on a little too long
Thank you for sharing this, there are so many stories from so many cultures: Fire son, Snow Daughter, Tiger's Whisker, Selkie Stories, this has me 😊😊😊🤓🕷📚
Thanks! I'll have to check out some of those stories!
Colour me intrigued! Thanks for the recommendation and the video. Your sense of humor is very much my jam. Looking forward to seeing you at WoTCon!
Thanks! So excited for WoTcon! Never been to a convention before 😬
Got hooked on the series after wanting to know what happened after the game the wolf among us! Very interesting!
Can't wait for The Wolf Among Us part 2! Thinking about doing a play through
I've read all 150 issues of the main series. It is so good! I've still got the "Jack" books to read, as well as the "Fairest" stories. So good!
Such a good series. Would love to see a TV adaptation. Who was your favourite character?
@@ElliotEdits Boy Blue was surprisingly good...but what really tugged at my heart were 2 main character's children (avoiding spoilers!!). Yep, that final compendium crushed me! 😭
@@toobieswithtimmy1382 I believe I know the storyline you're talking about. That really got to me too.
I think my favourite character was Prince Charming 🤔
Bluebeard is a nobleman.
Loose definition of the word 'noble' 🤣
I’m sold on Fables! Take my money!! 🥰
Excellent! You won't regret it!
Thanks for the video I now now it's back :)
I read it for the first time around when it ended, after playing The Wolf Among Us (which is a video game prequel I really enjoyed, and now it also has a sequel on the way)
BTW, I remember reading somewhere that Once Upon a Time was originally supposed to be a Fables adaptation, which I can sort of see (OUaT is a way worse take IMO)
Cheers! I also started reading the series after playing TWAU!
I had heard that about OUaT too. I think the rights to Fables are currently with Jane Goldman who's done quite a few comic book movies. I definitely think it world work better as a TV show.
Once sucked. Repitive and was soft. Zzzzzz
I much prefer Fables over Once Upon a Time, it focus on authentic characters from folktales and myths while Once emphasizes on the Disney cannon.
Much agreed! I could never get into Once Upon a Time
@@ElliotEdits Me neither, it was a waste of an idea.
Oh dear, you convinced me.. consider it ordered 😅
Amazing! Hope you enjoy :)
Where would you draw the line between a fairy tale and a fable? I would have qualified Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen as the former, though I can see the argument. Just curious about your take on the semantics more than anything
Great question! In my head there's a lot of crossover, but I guess a fable contains a moral or life-lesson at the heart of it. Fairy tales are typically aimed at children, so I suppose it's a case of watering down a fable to make it suitable for a younger audience.
@@ElliotEdits 👏👏Good answer!
@@GrammaCheri Thanks
The story lumps fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and fables together as one general idea. In fact, since the writer and artist initially weren't aware that the king monkey in The Jungle Book (I forgot his name) was in fact not in the public domain but a creation of Disney, they mistakenly put one mention of him in there (I think he just showed up in one or two panels of Mowgli's memory). He was never mentioned again, so you could just chalk it up to error... _or_ you could suppose there are characters in the Homelands or in Exile who are not in the public domain, but they just happen not to be in the story for convenience's sake. Maybe modern, copyrighted stories are there!
I Start this comics after I learn about them from the game "The Wolf Among Us", to see the fables stories going to without the usual line "Happily Ever After" just like how the stories started, that what drove me, the word HOMELANDS have the best effect on me, to learn the story of the comics, to see Beauty suffer from what we, humans see completely normal, like currency and love problems, in the game they this Princess Faith from the story Donkey Skin, she forced to work very low jobs to afford money, right now I'm in the 7th volume
Such a great comic book series. Really humanizes iconic fairytale characters we've all grown up with. Are you looking forward to The Wolf Among Us Part 2?
@@ElliotEdits the moment I get it, I'll find myself trying linking it to the Comic Storyline, like I did with the first game
Oh yeah, it needs a several miniseries to tell the story, or an expansive movie universe that dwarfs Marvel. There are just far too many moving parts to do it justice in a movie or three.
Totally agree! 10 episode Netflix series is the best way to go (or HBO)
Ask DC
First let them with dcu
Just a big and important advise to you people who will start reading this book:
DO NOT Keep going after chapter 110. Just leave it. It will become really bad.
I can see why people would say that. I don't think it ended with a bang, but still had some good moments. Worth a read in my opinion, but with informed expectations
@@ElliotEdits the story endes for good after the fall of Gueppeto.
Mister dark was an interesting villain but after his death it just becomes a clustertrash althogether
Have you played the wolf among us game???
Over and over again! Feel like they nailed the tone. Are you excited for part 2? Am considering doing a playthrough that picks out every detail from the comics.
Yes.
Indeed.
YA
Ya indeed!
I haven't read it, and have wanted too for a long time,
With the boxset coming in February I'm considering it
But I've heard after #75 it goes down hill really fast
And the last 4 volumes especially the ending was awful and disappointing
I don't know how it ends but this is what multiple people in person told me and on reddit as well
I hear it loses focus on secret society and people dislike that
I'm not sure I could argue against that review. It does feel like the series was in a bit of a rush to wrap up.
I wouldn't let the ending deter you from giving Fables a go! Especially now the series has restarted.
Hey I was going to make this video
But I'm glad you did.
Bigby and Colin buddy cop road trip is the spin off we need!
😬 Great minds 😅 I'd watch the hell out of that video though! Who's your favourite character?
Don't kill Colin in season 1, and I can totally see a comedic subplot in season 2 where Bigby and a glamoured Colin go on a secret mission together for snow. Netflix just hire us already!!!
@@ElliotEdits oooh that hard. I think I have a tie between Blue, Cindy, and Fly. But there are so many great characters. I just went through Fairest recently and it reinvigorated my interest in some of the cast featured there.
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell
I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I saw Tinker Bell in the background of somewhere
Vertigo didn't need batman, stop this madness
But Batman and madness go so well together 🤡
👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲
