It's been in the making for the past few months, and our final Fables Graphic Content "book club" meeting has arrived. As you may know, we've been meeting up each week to discuss Fables graphic novels. We've finally arrived at the latest Fables TPB.

This series just keeps getting better! It's won 12 Eisner Awards (Nominated for four more this year), Fables TPB Vol. 11: War and Pieces continues its long line of excellence and is the culmination of over six years of waiting. Our favorite storybook fables take to the offense as they venture back to the homelands to overthrow The Adversary and his puppet master: Geppetto. Everyone has prepared for war and they're done waiting. It's on!

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another meeting of our Graphic Content “book club.” As you may know, we meet up each week to discuss Fables graphic novels. How can you participate? Join the discussion by posting a comment below!

Not to sound like a broken record, but Fables TPB Vol. 10: The Good Prince is absolutely wonderful–I liked it better than Fables TPB Vol. 9: Sons of Empire. Finally, Ambrose the Frog Prince–better known to Fabletown as Flycatcher–discovers his destiny, and fulfills it in a matter-of-fact–but still spectacular–fashion. As Santa told him in Sons of Empire, Ambrose is meant to save the lives of thousands of Fables, which he does, but not in the way I imagined.

We skipped last Friday, since it was a holiday weekend, but we're back with a vengeance this week for another Graphic Content "book club" meeting. We're meeting up to discuss Fables trade paperbacks each Friday until we catch up with monthly issues. How can you participate? Join the discussion by posting a comment below!

This week's Fables trade is Fables TPB Vol. 9: Sons of Empire, which deals with the fallout from Bigby's attack on the Homelands in Fables TPB Vol. 8: Wolves. Fabletown may live to regret rattling The Adversary's cage–if they're lucky. The Adversary has not only sent an ambassador to Fabletown–the twisted and maniacal Hansel (yes, that Hansel)–but he's called his most powerful allies to discuss ways they can kill everyone and everything in the "Mundy" world and use it as a garbage dump. Yeah, it's pretty scary.

As usual: since this is a book club, we assume you’ve done the required reading, so SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!!!
