Our fantasy-genre series starts off with “Fables” by Bill Willingham. Sent running from their homelands by some unseen adversary, all the fairy tale and storytime characters escape to the New York City of our world. As they try and cope with this new surrounding, we get a great detective story, unfolding character, and wonderful art. Plus, we discuss why this comic shows up on so many “Girl Comics” blog lists.

We wrap up our X-Men series with Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s “Astonishing X-Men” series. In volume one, we see the return of Colossus after years of torture at the hands of the villain Ord and the Danger Room awakens as its own self-formed sentient A.I. But that’s just plot. The wonderful stuff here are the characters and their relationships. That, and some of the best X-Men art we’ve ever seen.

We bring our X-Men arc to the current age in comics by reading “New X-Men, Vol.1” by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. In this story, a mutant/spirit thing/space entity tried to obliterate all life on Earth. Or maybe just Professor X because he tried to kill it in the womb. But hey, what happens between two fetuses can’t be judged. Is this starting to weird for you? Yeah, us too. Thanks, Mr. Morrison!
