Willingham uses the Wolf's investigation to introduce readers to Fabletown's dissolute, hard-luck inhabitants, and he is at his best here, relishing one-liners and spinning funky background information of a world where fairy tale characters spend their time fretting about money and thinking up get-rich schemes.
Willingham's dialogue is humorous, his characterizations are sharp and his plot encompasses a tremendous amount of information with no strain at all.
Willingham caps the dashingly drawn mainstream-comics-style graphic novel with a prose-only story that accounts for how Wolf got his job.

Willingham clearly has an immense amount of fun playing with these characters and their histories, and the art, mostly by Buckingham, is a perfect match: clear, fanciful and finely drawn.
The last installment of Willingham and principal artist Mark Buckingham's saga of fairy-tale characters in exile, The Mean Sea sons (2005), seemed to tread water after the cataclysm in arch of the Wooden Soldiers (2004) and before more hurly-burly.
The five-part Homelands arc of Bill Willingham's amazing series Fables drops a huge bombshell on us by finally revealing the identity of the mysterious Adversary.

Willingham managed to sum up my feelings about all this Infinite Crisis bitching better than I ever could.
But Willingham has a history of saying, "Don't like what I'm doing, go screw!" which I respect to a certain degree, but not as much as I would respect someone calmly addressing whatever problems fans have with the story.
Willingham using a same approach makes me wonder how these critically acclaimed writers handle fans who don't like something.

Faced with a dilemma, he rationalizes that part of being a good superhero is working independently and sets off to follow his hunch regarding the whereabouts of the Lab's purloined artifact.
Aside from the nicely scripted thought bubbles, Willingham seems to have a pretty good handle on writing the part of a teenage superhero's life that doesn't involve a mask and Kevlar bodysuit.
Willingham doesn't write the angst-ridden soap opera of high school life in this issue as well as Brian Bendis does in Ultimate Spider-Man, but there's definitely potential and I think that's something Willingham should be proud of.

I'm sure the creators of classic fables like Little Red Riding Hood and Snow white never thought the villain of one and the protagonist of the other would ever find love, but author Bill Willingham finds a way to make it work in this intelligent and beautifully illustrated story arc.
The fables, exiled from their home world, live in Manhattan and exist as a fractured community, faced with the mundane (they call normal human Mundys) and the fantastical (Beauty's Beast turning beastial in appearance whenever she's mad at him), all under the watchful and creative eye of Willingham.
Reading this (or the other two excellent collections), one gets the feeling Willingham has done a lot of research into the original fables and not the Disneyized versions we have come to know.
