Fables, Vol. 8: Wolves

Ughh, that was a disappointing end to a story arc. Bigby and Snow are two of my favorite characters in comics, but they make no sense in this. And don't get me started on their stupid, boring litter

Bigby leaves town and goes to extreme lengths to make himself completely untraceable (and cut off from his kids) because Snow cares about the Fable community and doesn't immediately go along with his crazy scheme to live in the woods together...or something...I wasn't sure exactly what he wanted (he did have a point about her wanting a fairy tale and what not, but I'm not sure that justified such a gigantic hissy fit). So then she's stuck raising his 6 annoying kids for like 5 years, completely devoid of any story line for that entire time while he shacks up with some woods-bimbo. Then he decides to come back, spends like 5 pages single handedly defeating the enemy who has been mercilessly persecuting all of them for several hundred years (personally, I like Bigby because he's flawed and even though he's a gigantic wolf, he also needs the rest of the Fable community to keep the Adversary at bay, so this felt silly). Then he meets back up with Snow, she's like, "oh hey, long time no see...by the way, I've been raising your wolf babies who I had no conscious part in conceiving." He's like, "I have a woods girlfriend, but you smell better. Want to get married?" She shrugs agreement, even though they've never actually been together romantically at this point (except for the time they were both roofied and neither remembers). Two pages later they're hitched, and that's the end of that.
