Over the hills and far away.
Having beaten back the Adversary's first advance into their world, the residents of Fabletown must now prepare themselves for the full-scale war that is sure to follow. For one particular Fable, this means skipping town to launch a new career as a venal Hollywood mogul - a path he hopes will be paved with gold and immortality. For another Fable, though, it means a journey down a much more dangerous road - one that winds through the Fables' old Homelands into the very heart of enemy territory, where the mystery of the Adversary's identity will finally be revealed!

This was an interesting part of the Fables story, to put it mildly. It started off with a fairly forgettable Jack story that seems to have served no purpose other than to give the impetus for the Jack spin-off series (which I don't really have much interest in reading).

After that, though, came the big story - Homelands, which follows Boy Blue after the events of March of the Wooden Soldiers. Blue journeys to the land of the Adversary, hoping to kill him and thus allow the fables to return home. He fails, but along the way he uncovers the identity of the Adversary himself, a revelation that is simultaneously disappointing and awing, which is a weird combination of emotions. If you're a fan of the series, definitely pick this one up, but if you're not familiar with it, start with the first volume rather than this one.

Fables Vol 6 Homelands is another great collected edition in the Fables series. We finally learn some secrets about the Adversary and the Homelands. I really enjoyed this one!
