I've been watching Once Upon A Time on ABC lately and recently learned of a comic book series that shares a lot of aspects with this TV program while lurking in a thread for the show on /tv/.

Is this comic good? If so, where could I download the series for my tablet?

While I've not read it myself, I wanted to add: Telltale's new game, The Wolf Among Us, is based off of this.

As far as I can recall, Fables is pretty highly regarded, aside from one point where the storyline goes a bit weird so that the author can basically frame the whole story as a pro-Israel allegory.

There's also a spin-off based on Jack, who is every Jack in nursery rhyme, fairy tale or legend as a single character.

The comic is pretty solid, especially when it finds it's grove. I'd recommend it if you're already considering it.

As for downloads:
legal: http://www.comixology.com/Fables/comics-series/248
piracy: google

Thought it as good up until the point where the first Big Bad was defeated, then it kind of went in a weird direction. Mr Dark being an interesting character in concept, but falling a bit flat in practice.

The Jack series was interesting up to a point too, but Jack himself just became increasingly repulsive as the series progressed. Yeesh.

The Cinderella and Fairest spinoffs are interesting though, from what I've read thus far.

Really really really bad.

Gotta love the ox though.
