Fables, Vol. 8: Wolves

Another volume of Fables that I found to be entertaining, but underwhelming. I think the series works best when dealing with the idea of fairy tale characters in the real world; for the past while it's been focusing more on their attempts to take back their homelands, which is just not as interesting to me. Willingham also tried to rephrase the series as an allegory for the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but for that to work the Adversary and his minions have to fulfill the roles of ancient Rome, Nazi Germany, the British Empire, as well as the various nations surrounding Israel in the Middle East.

It looks like the next volume is a bit larger and more epic in scope; hopefully that will signal a return to form for the series.
