Fables: Legends in Exile

Fables: Legends in Exile is the first installment in the 10 volume Fables series by Bill Willingham, illustrated by Lan Medina, is about the characters from fairy tales being exiled to New York City.

Snow White is the mayor of Fabletown, the Big Bad Wolf (now Bigsy Wolf) is a detective, etc... Any character who can maintain a human appearance can stay in NYC, others are sent upstate to live on farms.

When Snow's sister Rose Red is murdered, an investigation ensues. Filled with chiche and bad noir, this graphic novel takes an interesting idea - the exile - and does little with it.
