 Bigby Wolf at AllExperts
Two centuries later, driven by the Adversary's increasingly sophisticated attempts to eliminate him, the Wolf had crossed through into the mundane world and was living in the mountains of Carpathia, preying on the local inhabitants, who put the blame on a local noble, a Count of some notoriety who the Wolf befriended.
As payback for the invasion of Fabletown, Bigby destroyed the magic grove of trees from which the elite wooden soldiers were grown.
Returning to Fabletown, Bigby was given a portion of the Farm's land, to be renamed Wolf Valley.

She was a pawn used by The Adversary, as multiple fetches were made of her (without her knowledge) to infiltrate groups that were against The Adversary.
Fabletown had been infiltrated by one of these fetches (Baba Yaga in fact) not to long ago, leaving everyone with a bit animosity for the real Red.

 Bill Willingham: Fables Vol. 5: The Mean Seasons - Bøger
Charming is the first new mayor since the creation of Fabletown, and his presence so annoys Snow White and Bigby that they step down from their positions as Deputy Mayor and Sheriff, respectively.
Plus, due to the inhuman appearance of most of the children, Snow White couldn't stay even if she wanted to, since the kids must be raised at the Farm, which is the one place on Earth Bigby isn't allowed to visit due to his actions against many of the Farm's residents back in the Homelands.
Since the Adversary's first attack in the previous volume, it was obvious that the war had come to Fabletown and that this would be an ongoing theme for the rest of the series.

Her defeat of Baba Yaga during the Battle of Fabletown is the prime piece of evidence against the "popularity equals power" theory that many adhere to.
Of the witches, her services have always been the most readily available to the Fabletown government (for a price of course); she is currently guarding the secretly imprisoned Baba Yaga for Bigby Wolf.
Even more mystery surrounds the venerable witch; it's been revealed that she speaks Arabic, knows the secret history of the d'jinn (the true name of genii), has her own spies in the Homelands, and, though working for the Fabletown government, still harbours some appetite for suffering, as evident in her treatment of the traitor Yusuf.

Taciturn and professional, Snow handles the issues of Fabletown like a trooper, and in every situation she sees just one thing to be considered, and that is the security of their community.
As the unofficial wild child of the family, Rose Red is quite frequently the cause of concern around Fabletown due to her reputation of mingling with Mundanes.

 Fables #19 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
In the wilds of Northern Canada a young Fable is busy making her way to Fabletown, but her impending arrival could very well be a disaster in the making.
Meanwhile back in Fabletown, Snow receives an ominous warning from a departed Fable, but her attention is drawn away by other concerns, such as Prince Charming's efforts to become the new mayor of Fabletown.
While this is the beginning of a new arc, you would be doing yourself a favor if you went out and made yourself familiar with at the very least the previous arc, as this issue is very much dependent on one having prior knowledge of what has gone on before.

 Fables
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.
The three men are soon revealed as agents of the Adversary who are their for two things; to force Fabletown to give up its magic items and ranks, and to return Pinocchio to where they came from.
With the Battle of Fabletown won, and the surrounding city of New York none the wiser, the Fables have gained a little time for rebuilding and reflection - in between the interrogation of the Adversary's agent and the anticipation of Snow White's impending motherhood.
