The initial storyline was damned good, and highly emotional. The second wasn't nearly as interesting, at least on a character-driven emotional level (there was imagination 'a plenty), but you could see where the groundwork was laid to get the intended storyline moving.
I'm a bit torn on the idea of dragging out the set-up in such a lengthy fashion. On one hand that second trade seemed to go nowhere, but on the other it established possibility that can take the story ANYWHERE.
Then I started in on the two most recent FABLES trades. I wonder if Willingham knew he was on to pure gold when he pushed that idea on DC? All the wonder of AKIKO and the drama of STRAY BULLETS, the two series I currently miss the most.... #lockekey

It's a tiny bit slow on exposition though. #lockekey

You surely can't think there are enough reality shows out there? Good God you're selfish.

Really? How is that an "impossible choice?" You could either save the fabric of the world, and therefore countless existences...or not.
Oh yes, it's a terrible dilemma.

-MAKE YOUR CHOICE MORTAL
Dr. Brock Quinn looked up at the creature of unimaginable hatred and sin.
-Um. Hmm. Well I don't know. What do you mean by 'save it'?
-HUMAN MAKE YOUR CHOICE
-Well okay but 'save' it like... save it as it is? Can I save it in a better state? Maybe replenish the coral reefs a bit.
-WHAT IS 'REEF'?
-Oh just a complex interchange between marine species and a certain kind of polyp-
-SHUT UP!
-What about ice cream?
-ICED CREAM? The creature's voice echoed through the distant corners of dying universes.
-Ice cream. Singular. If I save the world will there still be ice cream? I noticed it's pretty hot where we are now, I wanted to make sure you'd remember about ice cream.
-THE WORLD WILL BE IF YOU SAY... JUST... SAY!
-Oh everything but cherry. Can I save everything but cherry?
-RRRRRR
