This time plays back into the world of comics, that it was time, but I know that is less interested in the topic of which are dealt with here (which is saying), which is a penalty because of the absurd prejudices, or laziness, many people always lose very good works that are often much more interesting that 90% of mediocre books publishers we slip over the years and that people read, do as you enjoy and tell your friends to have something to talk over coffee. Thus, there are certain sets of topics that could be quite the taste of the public, and that sooner or later adapted into a film by an executive with a view (for example And the last man, with a possible film version by the caramazapán Shia Labeouf), after being relegated to oblivion for ever and ever. Anyway, to the point, the series to discuss today is Fables: Legends in exile (Bill Willingham, 2002), better known through the world of God as "Fables" and, for me, one of the best series currently on the market. Is a series published under the Vertigo label
DC, which usually involves comics with adult content (higher doses of sex, violence and tacos than usual). And this label usually carries a minimum guarantee of quality, having opted for the same products as

Much of the early sagas are focused on finding out who is this character and his motives behind his pursuit of conquest, as well as the daily problems faced by these beings to pass unnoticed among us. And, as you can imagine, smart hide three pigs, a cat interested in the latest fashion trends in the lower limbs, witches who like to follow diets rich in newborn infants and a wolf of two meters, among others, is not easy. Thus, the fables humanoids live in a neighborhood called New York Fabletown normal appearance, while those with more problems to go unnoticed are sent to a farm hidden miles away, where they can to roam. In principle, the immortality and powers of a story depends on its popularity among human beings, the most known quite likely to return from the dead, if necessary.
The main comic grace of this lies in the twist that the author gives the classic characters, trying to make them fit in the real world, updating the way of being today's society and adding to the origin and character of all a considerable amount of bad blood and good humor, it makes them look as original as if they were new. Some of the most interesting are the following, although there are dozens of them, all with their little moment of glory: Bigby Wolf

Frau TotenKinder is the personification of the typical Wicked Witch of the stories (his name means "dead children" or something similar) and his enormous popularity among humans, is one of the fables more powerful, though he conceals by its fragile appearance of old with a perpetual needles point in hand. It is unknown how he escaped death after Hansel and Gretel thrown into her own oven, but now conducts the affairs division Fabletown magic. His power has increased exponentially over the last hundred years, thanks to a certain dark matter relating to the sacrifices of newborn human infants, but ... really has been reformed or is a hidden enemy? In any case, is the only defense against magic Fabletown Baba Yaga and the rest of sorcerers loyal to the Adversary, with its extreme power and intelligence.
