From Booklist
Fables, the comic about fairy-tale characters ("Fables") living in exile in Manhattan and upstate New York, started with a jaunty mystery (
Legends in Exile, 2003) full of irony, but it has steadily darkened. Some major figures--Bluebeard, for instance--have been killed, and in
March of the Wooden Soldiers (2004), the Manhattan enclave was attacked by forces of the Adversary, which drove them from their home world. The title story here depicts the year after the attack. Summer sees the birth of Deputy Mayor Snow White's sextuplets (the father is Sheriff Bigby Wolf); fall, Prince Charming's election as mayor; winter, bad decisions by the new administration; and spring, plans to counterattack the Adversary. Two shorter pieces show Bigby Wolf on a secret mission during World War II and Cinderella entrapping a Fable who is collaborating with the Adversary. Tony Akins draws the shorter stories with less detail than Mark Buckingham does the big one; both uphold
Fables' snappy good looks.

After the horrific events of March of the Wooden Soldiers, it would seem that things couldn't get worse in Fabletown. But the impending mayoral election could overturn the centuries-old status quo, sending the town into a tailspin.
This collection actually starts off with issue 22, even though the previous collection ended at 27. March of the Wooden Soldiers cut 22 out because, while it is an important issue, it interupted the flow of the story. It is a one-shot focusing on Cinderella, Prince Charming's third wife. While many people think she is merely a loud heiress, it is merely a cover. She is really a spy, and she uses her feminine wiles to get what she needs from the people she is assigned to.
The next two issues follow one of Bigby Wolf's missions during World War II. Like most science fiction involving World War II, the Nazis are once again researching the occult and impossible, and they have a surprise in store for the Allied forces. While these issues are good, they don't compare to the amazing March of the Wooden Soldiers story nor the following story.
The four-part arc The Mean Seasons takes place over the course of a year, with each issue occuring in one of the four seasons. Things kick off with Prince Charming winning the mayoral election and the birth of Snow White and Bigby Wolf's children (yes, there are multiple kids). Charming is the first new mayor since the creation of Fabletown, and his presence so annoys Snow White and Bigby that they step down from their positions as Deputy Mayor and Sheriff, respectively.
