The Boy Blue w/ Witching Cloak respect thread

Okay, this is going to cover the character Boy Blue from the Vertigo comic Fables, when he was in possession of the Witching Cloak and Vorpal Blade. This is partially to show people what he could do, and partially to get some exposure to the comic for anyone not reading it.

First, for those who know noting about the book, I'll copy the first paragraph from the Fables Wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_%28comics%29 ).

Fables is a Vertigo comic book series created and written by Bill Willingham. It takes place in a continuity of its own, and is unrelated to the larger DC Comics continuity. The series deals with various characters from fairy tales and folklore who have been forced out of their native lands by a mysterious enemy known as the Adversary. They travel to our world and form a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. (However, characters from fables with non-human appearance must live at the "Farm" in upstate New York.)

First we hear what Blue's been up to since going back to the homelands. Keep in mind, by this time he's been there for months. Then, Blue appears.

Casually tells the goblins about his cloak while taking a sword and axe hit at the same time and then disarming them with the Vorpal Blade (which he draws from the cloak).

The goblins aren't feeling too cooperative.

Forward in time a bit, and we see the Cloak's invisibility and shapeshifting abilities.

The Cloak must mimic the guy's voice, too, otherwise his men/monsters wouldn't buy it.

More shapeshifting as he travels the new world and finds what he was looking for.



...A dragon.

Fighting the dragon, taking no harm from its flames and showing just how indestructible the Cloak is and what he was there for.


Elsewhere, people are noticing Blue's movements.








And we find out just how badass those three knights were.

More shapeshifting as he moves through the land. Also, the talking to animals thing is impressive, but at least SOME of the Fable worlds' animals can speak human languages. And it doesn't make it clear which are which in this case.

Meanwhile, baldy informs the Snow Queen of what's going on. Link for info on her: http://mean-seasons.org/fables/snowqueen.html

So.

Forward in time some more, and the Adversary is hearing petitions from the populace, meaning he's guaranteed to be in one place all day. The Snow Queen finally senses Blue.



Snicker-Snack, b*tch.

All hell breaks loose.



Waking up in time to meet the REAL Adversary...

GEPETTO! 😂

And, we learn just how impressive that beheading was. "It'll take a hundred sorcerors months to replace every protective spell your sword shattered, as if they weren't there."

Boy Blue: Fable master of prep.

Making a deal with the devil.

If you want to read Gepetto's tale, you'll have to read the book. 😛

Pinocchio has been restored, and we find out just how many worlds Gepetto controls.

Blue may look like a kid, but he's been fighting wars for years, maybe even centuries. He's not new to the killing thing. Hell, he's a weary soldier.

Meeting with Red Riding Hood.


Truth hurts.

Time to go.

One last impressive showing for the Vorpal Blade.


And, two more scans, just to give you an idea of how much he can really store in that cloak of his.

Well, that's all she wrote for now, folks.

Cool. Fables rocks!

Solid thread Khells.
