Fables [vol. 20]: Camelot by Bill Willingham, 256 pagesYay, I'm finally caught up on Fables! This 20th volume focuses on Rose Red, and her decision to create a new Camelot, complete with quests, chivalry, and a big ol' round table. This incarnation of Camelot also has a focus on second chances and redemption, and, in a bit of a gender bend, a woman in the King Arthur role. I'm curious to see how this Camelot will shake out, as nothing founded in good intentions will last long (as we learned from the original Camelot). Morgan Le Fay is still around, and we, the readers, are probably already familiar with characters who will inhabit the Mordred, Guinevere, and Lancelot roles.
Speaking of Fables in general, it's obvious that there aren't many more issues/volumes left in Willingham. So far he's done a good job of winding these stories down; here's hoping he keeps up the good work.
(As a side note, if you're reading The Unwritten and get to the Fables/Unwritten crossover, read the first 2/3 of this book before you read The Unwritten Fables. It's much less confusing that way.)
