bill willingham's fables comic book series

Given the lengthy period of time that's passed since Fables #150 was released, I would have hoped that we'd gotten even a little reminder about what had come before, especially as the last page reveal is a bit dependent on remembering the events of that last issue. While there are a couple of little reminders here and there, the series seems content to cater solely to established fans, which seems a little misguided. There's no recap to bring new readers (or readers with less-than-stellar memories) up to speed, even though the story starts literally in the rubble of the final arc. One interesting part of Fables #151 is that the comic truly acts as the 151st issue of a comic book series, as opposed to the start of a new series. The comic also introduces a possible new villain, one with very interesting ties to the original Fables premise, and has a 'shocking' last page return that makes plenty of sense given how Fables are meant to be immortal depending on the strength of their story. The comic follows two primary plotlines: Bigby and Snow and their four cubs have returned to Bigby's old hunting grounds in the aftermath of Snow's truce with Rose Red, while the Mundy world reacts to the discovery of Fabletown in the heart of New York City. Now five years later, Fables is back, with creative team Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham reuniting for a 12-issue run that picks up just after the events of the final arc.
