I'm up to volume 7 of Fables right now, and a;lsdjflaksdjf how can it be so good? For those of you that don't know what it is: All of the fairy tales characters have fled their homelounds and bound up in the human world, and now they try and get by, laying low so the 'mundies' (regular humans) won't discover them. Snow White runs the show, the Big Bad Wolf is the town's sheriff, Prince Charming is an egotistical bastard that cheats and lies and and extorts women for their money (and so far has been married to Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella-- and has ripped them all), and Goldilocks is a sociopath rebel. Now tell me that doesn't sound awesome. *g* Oh, anbd also? The art is pretty good. And the covers by James Jean are so fucking beatiful it hurts.

I love Bigby. He's my favorite character of the comic, and I've missed him for the last two volumes ;___; His and Snow's seventh child made me had the creeps real bad, and I got a bit watery in the eyes, I must admit. Quite a great plot twist, I'd say. Prince Charming is becoming another of my favorites, though, now that he, you know, has developed half a brain XD Boy Blue is all kinds of sweet/intrepid/mad/psycopath awesome. Snow is like, my hero, or something XD And her cubs are all cute and I want to pet them real hard. *cough* And haha I KNEW Gepetto was the adversary the moment the first wooden soldiers mentioned him. The genii storyline was oh so pretty and well done, but damn it, I want more Bigby. And more of his (and Prince Charming's, I must admit) secret spies and complots. *nod*

Er, could anyone tell me from which fairy tale Boy Blue comes from? I don't quite remember, or maybe it was just translated in a very different way into Spanish... (completely possible -- Prince Charming was translated into literally, Prince Blue *shrug*)

In other news, I'm sooo excited about the Big/Little week coming up! I already have one of the gifts (mostly) ready, yay. :) Now I have to think of brand new ways of surprising my Little for the other six days XD
