The roster of characters is impressively reimagined, from Goldilocks as an angry protest songwriter to Cinderella’s sidekick Reynard the Fox, and Bigby the drunk wolf (who memorably grumbles how “cross-species hanky-panky just isn’t for me”).
Cinderella, envisioned here as a smart-talking and Buffy-esque ass-kicker, is called in to head the investigation. It’s a mystery narrated by the Magic Mirror, who-along with the fey, fierce little Barleycorn girls and a hundred-plus talking wooden heads-is trying to suss out who just stole a magic car and why it looks like somebody is trying to kill all the fairest women in the land. The ever-expanding universe of Willingham’s Fables gets a juicy new addition with this standalone offshoot graphic novel from the Fairest series.
