Fables 149

  • I have a feeling they are gonna somehow quickly get rid of Brandish and concentrate on Snow vs Rose conflict more towards the final issues (since that's what they did with Spratt, though I could be wrong).
    But I always wanted to have Bigby beat (And possibly kill) Brandish, since Brandish was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpowered in their first encounter (Magic sword with hundreds of spells, magic deflective spell for damage, and no heart in his body? Sheesh.....Talk about overkill).

    Ever since the release of the #149 cover, I have been saying if Rose somehow tries to use Bigby against Snow, it will be an all new low for her (their relationship has always been rocky, but that's seriously messed up. And she just put on the ring without hesitation in #146) and wouldn't really be sad even if she ends up redeeming herself later at the end (e.g. sacrifices herself for Snow etc).

    This is probably because even from the beginning, Rose was never one of those likable characters for me....There was no attachment towards the character like I have (or had) for Bigby, Snow, Charming, Boy Blue, Beauty, Beast, Cinderella etc, etc (well majority of Fabletown main cast I guess)
    For me, at best, Rose was just tolerable, and majority of times she was annoying, and I'd guess the worst part may be decided upon her actions in #149.

    And i thought that Weyland's first death was a shock.... Man, I mean we all saw that coming knowing that Brandish is a scum. But the thing t

  • Can I add to your point by saying that Issue 150 is going to be 150 pages long! That's roughly 5-6 issues in just 1; so what could possibly fill all that space?

  • This is pure guessing... But maybe the future of the cubs. The prophecy has such potencial that it would be a shame not to explore the rest of the story.
    I think that the Fables Universe has so many unanswered questions - Snow and Rose's mother, Winter as the North Wind, Rapunzel's twins - that a lot can happen in the issue 150.

  • I have the same feelings about Rose, I never liked her and i always saw her as a wild card in the other characters story - Snow and Blue's. And I think it was very ironic that, for a time, Rose was portrayed as the new hero with this Camelot plot.

    Is it just me, or Rose is not doing a very good job at this "Second Chance" thing?

  • Really? 150 pages long? I think that's way longer that Werewolves at the Heartland, isn't it?

  • Me too, dude. I really need to stop looking at these things until the damn thing comes out. Not good for my weak heart. xD

  • Well maybe Willingham will return to the series at some point in the future... I feel that we need a break before we delve more into the series that way. Maybe IF Bill returns to Fables he can give us some adventures with the cubs/Bliss all grown up!

  • Rose is asked by the spirit that looks like Boy Blue if she can bring the dead back to life; maybe that is her second chance?

  • Well, considering Happily Ever After (Volume 21) is only until #149 (#141 ~ #149), I'm not surprised #150 is that long.

    (Mr.) Willingham will cover basically everything I guess. He'll tie up all loose ends for main stories (I don't think he'll leave any stones unturned), and any untold last stories etc (remember we didn't get the Hansel and Gretel last story in #146, so who knows? We may get that story in Volume 22 among some others).

    I have a feeling Volume 22 (still no word on the title - wonder what it will be?) will be packed full of additional content on top of the main story (such as readers' questions etc).

  • I was never really convinced even from beginning of this arc that she would be the Hero (despite her being shown Golden and Snow being shown to be black).

    Well, she was stupid enough to give Brandish a second chance even though he was a irredeemable scum, so that gives clear insight of her judgment of character.

  • It'll probably be called The End. But I still stand by Willingham's comments that he MAY return to Fables at some point in the future..

  • Yes!! It would be awesome to see Fabletown and the Farm in the future...

  • Really? All the interviews that i saw he said that the Fables series will definitely end in the 150 issue, so he can focus now in the spin-offs and other projects.

  • I feel that, with all her mistakes, she is probably into her's 55th chance....

  • I have read some interviews where he has said that it will be up to the fans if he wants to return OR he will leave the door open a crack if he comes up with more stories for the charcters... in one interview he said that his editor Shelly Bond keeps coming up with ideas for Original Graphic Novels and that she will probably come through with them.

  • SPOILER FABLES 146
    5did anyone ever think about the ring that controls bigly….. rose red had it and in fables 146 and mentioned why she now knows "why snow got all wet for him"

  • I really hope that this cover is just Rose's fantasy of her and Bigby in her mind. I never cared for Rose's character to begin with, but I tolerated her throughout the series. But after her actions in the recent issues, I just really want her to become Bigby food.

  • My thoughts exactly!

  • The penultimate issue better not be more filler!

    If it is filler then it better be GOOD filler!! Like whatever the hell Grimble is doing. Also when is Cindy going to kill Frau?!

    Well on the other hand, i don't know if my heart is ready to see this RosexBigby "thing that should not be named".
