agree with the both of you above. there is more to what really happened, but it was a truly fanscianting how it all unfolded...

Such deception would be a very interesting twist in the story! I figured the character in the last panel was just suffering from a knock on the head ...
Where do you suppose the Snow Queen fits in with all this? I originally figured her for the Adversary (when she first appeared), but she's probably too much the classic bad guy.

collecting this in trade sometimes it takes me a while to actually READ the book after buying because i like to sit and read the whole thing in one sitting

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.
I hate when that happens. The internet gives us a great chance to interact with creators but I just wish some fans would realise that creators have certain restrictions (Copywrite and plagerism just being two) on what they can say in a public forum and when someone says I cant or dont want to disccuss "X" let it go and talk about something else.

Got issue 41 with my midmonth books today! It was a toss-up whether to read this or JLA 118 first, out of a strong batch that also had the latest JSA and Villains United, but FABLES won out. I took my afternoon break then and there, in spite of just getting back from lunch...
Wow. This issue wraps up the Homelands story arc, and sets the plate for so much more!
S - P - O - I - L - E - R - S - - - -
Best line of the book goes to Pinocchio-- "Did you know that would happen, @$$wipe?"
So we finally find out the truth about RRH... but do we know the truth about The Adversary? The last panel on p. 12 has some significance in all this, I think...
So all the European fables have fallen to the Emperor's armies? And we have a glimpse of the empire's next targets... interesting...
All in all, a great issue, wrapping up a great storyline. And, with as much as we've learned these past few issues, this story doesn't appear to be anywhere near its endpoint.

I agree Pov. There is so much not being told. I am looking forward to see where they take this series. I caught onto the series late but sure am enjoying the heck out of this book.

Well, DC's really screwed the pooch with its Vertigo message boards... apparently, they've just thrown all the books together under two forums, one for ongoings and one for limited series.
Fans of FABLES might want to head over to Bill W.s Fabletown forums ( http://www.fabletown.com/forum/index.php ); it's set up like an MB should be, and Bill participates alot. There's discussion boards for his upcoming work, including SHADOWPACT (which he's DRAWING as well as writing! ) and a JACK ongoing series spinning off from FABLES ( ) --good stuff.

I have always really enjoyed fables but i think the book has lost its way a bit. I think the whole adversary thing was a bit of a botch job because of all the Peter Pan clues early on which dont in anyway relate to who the adversary actually was and also teamed with the fact that the world and his wife picked the adversary ages ago and the only thing going against it was that it seemed too obvious.
