Fables, Vol. 9: Sons of Empire

The latest volume of Fables started out with the same Israel/Palestine/Nazi allegory that Willingham's been hammering home since vol 7, with the bad guys in this volume meeting to discuss a “Final Solution” to the problem of Fabletown's existence. Once we move away from that, however, he have some forward momentum on the Adversary/Fables war, as well as some nice, quiet little stories - Rapunzel and her barber, Jack trying to steal Santa's naughty and nice lists, and that sort of thing. To sum up: a bit of what I don't like about the series mixed in with a lot of what I do like make for an enjoyable GN.
