Summary: More of the same (and that's a good thing)
Comment: The conflict between the Empire and the exiled Fables heats up, but in an unexpected fashion, as Ambrose ('Flycatcher') somehow manages to get tangled up in the fate of both powers. If you're not reading Fables already, stop whatever you're doing and start from first issue. Easily one of the best series of recent years - if not ever - Fables has magically stayed as good in this, the tenth collection, as it was at the start. Don't forget to flip through the cover gallery - they're absolutely stunning.

Summary: A great story about a little character

Summary: "The Good Prince" is um ...good.
Comment: More delightful Fables stories bring us one step closer to war with the adversary. The creators are taking time to texture the world they have created. The Good Prince follows flycatcher (who has has been a periphery character) into the depths of grief, revenge, and redemption.

Summary: Moving and "Good"
Comment: After 40 years of reading comics this was only the second time I was emotionally moved by a story in the graphic format. Bill Willingham deserves great praise for creating a true "Fable". One that can hold its own with any fable ever told. In these days of real fear mongering, violence and war, the story of "The Good Prince" brings with it a comforting feeling that a good man, one who cares for people, can stand up to the evils everyone else just accepts and succeed without sacrificing his own moral values. I feel lighter and happier for having read the book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Another Winner in a winner series!
Comment: Fables continues to be an outstanding comic book series. Of course its not just a great comic series, its a great story period! This latest volume takes one of the minor characters (who has been there from the first few issues) and brings him on a true hero journey. Pick up this volume and enjoy a wonderful tale.

Editorial Reviews:

This 10th volume in the best-selling, award-winning series collects the epochal "Good Prince" storyline.

Flycatcher, a background player in the FABLES series, is drawn into the spotlight as he discovers the startling truth about his own past as the Frog Prince. At the same time, he learns that the Adversary -- Gepetto, the manipulative Fable who forced the Fables community into exile -- plans to destoy his foes once and for all. Only Flycatcher and his army of ghosts has a chance of stopping the Adversary from wiping out his home. But how can the meek Flycatcher undertake this deadly task?
