![]() ![]() He’s equally accomplished at both, and still ranks among the best artists in a collection that also includes Brian Bolland, John Bolton, Michael Kaluta and Charles Vess. It’s interesting to see Mark Buckingham both pencilling, as he does for the Fabletown section, and painting in depicting Reynard the fox’s cunning plan. The first two-thirds of the story are very well drawn by Tony Akins, but he’s rushing by the end. The Nazis are aware of Bigby’s pointed intervention and their consequent losses, and have plans for an immortal warrior of their own. Removed from the Fables environment, Bigby is here anomalous to begin with, not slotting very well into a buddy story behind enemy lines, and from there it moves into real B-movie territory. The opening tale is some of Bigby’s exploits during World War II, and is neither fish nor fowl. It’s a patchy collection overall, with only a third of the content moving the story forward while the remainder sends the spotlight back into the past, where some stories work better than others. ![]() This hardback collection gathers material previously printed as almost all of The Mean Seasons and the standalone anthology 1001 Nights of Snowfall. ![]()
