Ryan's review
Fables: Homelands (Volume 6) by Bill Willingham
** spoiler alert **
This was an interesting part of the Fables story, to put it mildly. It started off with a fairly forgettable Jack story that seems to have served no purpose other than to give the impetus for the Jack spin-off series (which I don't really have much interest in reading).
After that, though, came the big story - Homelands, which follows Boy Blue after the events of March of the Wooden Soldiers. Blue journeys to the land of the Adversary, hoping to kill him and thus allow the fables to return home. He fails, but along the way he uncovers the identity of the Adversary himself, a revelation that is simultaneously disappointing and awing, which is a weird combination of emotions. If you're a fan of the series, definitely pick this one up, but if you're not familiar with it, start with the first volume rather than this one.
