I hope the adversary is some sickeningly sweet fable that everyone loves. That just appeals to me on so many levels.
My wife is hooked on fables and loves the babies, but now that they are five years old, they may not be as cute to her. Still, she loves the book and i buy it faithfully.
As for the off issues, like Bigby in WWII, i like them. I know it's a matter of personal taste, and don't begrudge anyone that doesn't, but full on straight out fables storylines would eventually require a quick resolution to the adversary storyline, and that is the driving force. Plus i think it fun to see how they have interacted with the mundy world over the years.
But dispite what the last issue says...
SPOILER WARNING****************
i doubt we have seen the last of Jack. He is just too good a rogue to leave off the book permanently.

I started picking up this series at #31. I did so because I was looking for something different. I totally love this series and looking to pick up the beginning in trades. Just a fantastic read.

I stupidly read some preview pages on line and saw who the Adversary was before I bought the issue.
But that amazingly didn't even spoil the story for me. The explanation of how that person became the Adversary was so interesting I wanted more by story's end. I love this book!

The Adversary is.... sent to you via PM since I don't know how you do the "invisible" text.
This was guessed by a few people here, I believe - I thought it was pretty lame at first but the explanation of how he became the Adversary was very good. And, in true fairy tale tradition, a moral tale.
Where it goes from here.... an eventual truce between Fabletown and the Ancient Lands?

I'm not convinced you know. On the Fables boards a long time ago this guy came up as the adversary. I wouldnt put it past TPTB to change things around just to surprise people.
There are some pretty good word games going on between Blue and the Adversary which hint at hiden agenda's behind hiden agenda's.
Plus that final panel? Why did ....... not recognise the Adversary if he truely was who he claimed to be

The story of how the Adversary came to power was gripping and very interesting but I was still a little disappointed in who he/she ended up being. The signs had been pointing to this person for so long that I was hoping for a bit more of a surprise.
However, like Faraway Lad, I'm not so sure that Willingham doesn't still have one in store. _________'s words and non-recognition of the Adversary on the last page really threw a spanner into his/her whole story! Can't wait for the next issue to see how this all wraps up.
P.S. Faraway Lad - I agree that that was quite clearly a reference to Narnia in one of the early issues of Fables, but don't try bringing that point up with Bill Willingham. He denied that it was (probably for legal reasons) and it was some fans' urging for him to admit it that drove him away from the DC Boards.
