I'm probably going to read the rest of Fables soon, but hearing that they kind of fall apart by the end.... That's disappointing. Jack of Fables was phenomenal, until the last three books. It really just should have ended around Book 6, those last three are a fucking disaster, even on their own, they're just awful, and I'm not sure if I want to really continue with Fables. It's already kind of starting to all fall apart. I mean, they've already handled the big bad guy, and the new plot lines are all just.... eh...... Well, the problem with Fables finale is that at the begining of this final arc Willingham set up everything almost perfectly, but then the storyline started to fall apart because of rushed character deaths (I swear, these are some of the worst death scenes I've ever seen) and in the latest issue the story did something unexpected, but ABSOLUTELY NONSENSICAL (to say the least) and the upcoming issues tease a story so ridiculous that I have no idea where Willingham is going with it. What struck me the most is that many characters behave like complete idiots and most of the story feels as an awful fanfiction written by some beginner, and not a professional writer. I don't know how Fables will end, but it's not looking good. I still like to think that the real story ended with The Adversary signing the Fabletown Compact and the rest is some sort of Fable-esque related trivia.

What's funny - Fables were translated and published here, in Poland, but they stopped after War and Pieces (so I had to follow the rest of the story with the English version). I don't know, Maybe my local publisher had some sort of prophet at their disposal? I mean, they announced that they are probably going to resume publishing it sometime in 2015 (partially because of TWAU - many people started asking during Q&A's whether Fables will be published again mainly because of the game ), but it's still uncertain.

I just find it funny that two comic series from the early 2000s were made into adventure games by Telltale and in my opinion were both GOTY.

I'm still holding out hope for a Jack of Fables game that gives us a different canon to follow than the fucking disaster that is the last 3 books. I'd honestly prefer that over TWAU S2, though I'd be fine with either.

"Jack..." was breaking the fourth wall very often, so I imagine that if they made it into the game, they could place it before all this shit and say something about an alternate universe, with Jack commenting "Alternate universe? (looks at the player) I can be a fucking king! (looks at Page sisters) ...oh shit."

Which is that's so, I am totally in, I would love more info on Crooked Man and Bloody Mary, that would make my day.

This month, they're starting a comic version of The Wolf Among Us that will follow the story from the game, but expand on it a little more. I'm not sure how they'll handle the choices, though.

Scratch that. The first issue was pushed back to January. And as for the content... The first issue will cover the plot until the discovery of Faith's head, and the second one will end with Bigby and Snow finding Lawrence's body.

Yeah, unsure to say the least, I hope they don't say which is canon or not, but like I said, more info on the new characters is totally fine.

Also I may have gone absolutely insane, but when I first saw the Crooked Man, I didn't think he had a Kenny stache like some people here did, I thought he looked a like the Italian demo man from Disney's Atlantis the Lost Empire, AKA, my favorite character from that film, minus the missing skin around the eye, I found that both very strange, and yet very awesome, am I crazy for thinking that?

You are waaay too into Disney movies. That maybe true, but I am not crazy here, they look very, very, very, very similar, at least to me anyway, seriously, here's the picture of IMDB, look! www.imdb.com/media/rm3653671168/ch0016053
