Fables #154

Although we don’t get any of Cinderella in the latest issue, several of the other stories inch forward with the forest creatures no to keen on their new neighbors, Jack setting out on her first quest, and the various separate adventures of the Wolf children. After a shocking twist to Ambrose‘s adventure, the monster gets a surprise of its own when it discovers its trapped houseguest is anything but.

Elsewhere adventures are still early in the making. Blossom encounters something trapped in a locked chest while looking for a clean and pretty adventure that is so hard to find, Winter leaps before looking to examine the world on the back of a tortoise, and Connor encounters a fellow adventurer who offers a team-up that foreshadows at least some degree of trouble for all concerned. A middle issue to be sure, without big events or reveals, but still a fun read.
