Review: Fables, Vol. 15: Rose Red

Series: Fables: #15

Series: Fables Universe: #26

Totenkinder (now Bellflower) has a plan, but she’s not going to let anyone else in. So instead, we’re going to deal with the fall of Rose Red after the death of Boy Blue and a shock from her past strong enough to shake her out of it.

It’s worth reading just for that, a bit of exploration into depression and loss from the framework of the Fables universe. And man has Red been through a lot–even before Boy Blue died.

Plus, a new baby* for Beast and Beauty! Because more plotlines are always worth while.

Spoilers:

Fables-15-01

Hhe. Meta.

Fables-15-02

Oh man the dwarves are dark in this. No wonder Snow is a bit screwed up. And Red in turn.

Fables-15-03

Powers in this universe are yet another thing to deal with. Interesting enough –and quite a problem with how exactly do you deal with Mr. Dark–plus hints at just what will come to be in Fables 16!

Fables-15-04

That was sneaky. And easy. Too easy?

Fables-15-05

Perfectly normal. Uh huh.

Fables-15-06

Hmm. Cinderella is kind of a lot. A funny little story here though. A comic within a comic.
