Mixed feelings here: I'm sad to see Fables come to an end, of course. And I like the little wrap-ups for most of the characters. The big showdown conclusion promised by the previous volume pretty much sputters out, which is fine. Volume 22 is more like a fond farewell to the fans than actual storytelling, and that's okay. After 13 years of writing Fables, the creators certainly deserve a chance to say good-bye and revisit all the old favorites one more time. Some terrific artwork, including a fold-out page to end it all with, makes this a very fun edition to page through. So while I enjoyed volume 22 as a good-bye piece, it's not really much of a story. Like I said, that's okay. Fables was a fantastic series, and I hope to revisit it many times in years to come.
