One of the things I love about Fables is that bill pulls lesser known story characters up and features them. I'm not sure the "suits" at ABC are good on lesser known anything....

I do like it. But I am rely on my public library to feed my source. Since I finished the second trade paperback, the third has always been checked out. I think it might be a conspiracy. Good news, ABC television has ordered Fables to pilot, so you might see it on the tele. I have read the first two arcs of Fables. I do like it. But I am rely on my public library to feed my source.

It is a very self contained universe where the dead usually stay dead (which has been a personal comic peeve of mine).

A couple of years ago, the trade paperback market was very spotty, used only for high selling arcs and storylines. But recently, it is pretty common place to be able to catch up with series that has a trade paperback every 6-10 issues. Hey, and its cheaper.

Granted, most of them were old Scrooge McDucks and Archie Double Digests, but there were more than a few Justice League Americas and Transformers issues in there. I used to love reading comic books as a kid, but I think the problem with them today is that I just don't get enough in one issue to justify the trouble. Now, take 6 issues together to make a trade paperback/graphic novella out of it, and I'm sold, but far too often, I read a comic book, which feels like less than one act of a show, and have to wait a month for the continuation. It's 2009; I don't have that kind of patience! I recently unearthed a couple of boxes of comic books from youth.
