Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland



Fables creator Bill Willingham spins a yarn revolving Bigby Wolf and his search for a new Fabletown. In his travels, he encounters a community of werewolves who consider him a god of wolves. But, when Bigby decides that this litter needs to be put down, an elite group of werewolves try to become Voltaire by killing their “God.”

   The art is not the same as in the Fables series. It’s not as clean as the series and it’s a little off putting. Perhaps the biggest shock is all the nudity. When these humans “wolf out” they get stark naked and the artist of this series reveals everything. Let’s just say none of these guys have ever been bar mitzvahed.

A pretty good story. Its reveals some plot threads introduced a while back concerning Big’s days in World War II Germany. I think its classic Bigby but not classic Fables. Hopefully, this is not a sign that Willingham’s Fables will no longer be the dynamic quality work it’s been for the past 7 years.
