 Why aren't you reading this? June 24, 2008

Contrary to what others might have said about the quality falling off in the last few storylines, I find each volume fresh, wonderous, and endearing,especially this latest volume. This particular tale of Flycatcher,could stand on it's own as a great fairytale,but the rich tapestry of the Fables universe, is overwhelming.This series should be as popular as Harry Potter.It was so refreshing to have a smile on my face when I read the last page.Highly recommended!
Moving and "Good" July 2, 2008

After 40 years of reading comics this was only the second time I was emotionally moved by a story in the graphic format. Bill Willingham deserves great praise for creating a true "Fable". One that can hold its own with any fable ever told. In these days of real fear mongering, violence and war, the story of "The Good Prince" brings with it a comforting feeling that a good man, one who cares for people, can stand up to the evils everyone else just accepts and succeed without sacrificing his own moral values. I feel lighter and happier for having read the book.
Definitely one of the best volumes August 20, 2008

This volume pretty much blew my mind away. Flycatcher had usually been such a insignificant character, and now... wow. The whole story was incredible, and I am eager to see what Volume 11 will bring.
Perhaps the Best Fables Trade to Date September 19, 2008

For a series that continually seems to get better and better, it seems that Fables Vol.10: The Good Prince TPBs is hands down the strongest of the bunch. A great compelling read that captures a years worth of issues in to one neat little book and will keep you so enthralled in the story that you won't be able to put it down until its finished. Finally seeing Ambrose become a major character despite his humble background in the Fables landscape seems to be the most fitting of fairy tale aspects for this series while also remaining relevant to modern times and social climates. If your a fan of the series who needs to catch up or a collector who can't being themselves to open up your bag and boarded issues get this, read it, you won't be disappointed.
The next chapter in the tale that never flags or fails to amuse October 6, 2008

Bill Willinmgham's creative use of fairy, folk, and fabulous tales has yet to fall short or disappoint in any way. The stories engage the reader and journeys him through imaginative arabesques never imagined no matter how familiar the story. This volume further strengthens FABLES' ascended avatar among the best of the trade collection pantheon. The characterization remains rich, adding to the already considerable depth of Prince Ambrose, the Bigby bad wolf cubs, Weyland Smith, and Frau Totenkinder in delightful ways. The plot, while quite complex, even byzantine, for a graphic novel, winds lovingly and at length back upon itself with grace and aplomb. Again, these are not the watery and weepy nursery tales of the Disney ilk, but it is so grand to see these archetypal stories returned to the vivaciously dark and brilliant milieus from whence they originated. Superb reading and looking.
