Plot Summary

Mowgli, still on his quest to find Bigby Wolf, is dropped into an Alaskan forrest. He enjoys being in the wild again as he searches, but soon realises, that he is not alone. At first the wolves that surround him are threatening, but before they can make a move, the leader announces to the pack, that the master wants to see Mowgli.

Back on the farm, Snow White asks The North Wind if he would let her be a mother to her children and teach them not to continuously shapechange. The North Wind curses all the Fable rules and declares that the winds have changed.

Back in the wilderness, the wolves lead Mowgli to Bigbys cabin. He is polite but quickly begins to shoo Mowgli away, until Mowgli tells him that Prince Charming has found a way for Snow and Bigby to live together with the children without breaking any of the rules prohibitting Bigby on the Farm.

Back at the Farm, the North Wind leaves. Snow is distraught at what to tell the children, but that night she gets a message, that things actually will get better for her on the Farm.

While Bigby and Mowgli are talking, a woman walks in. She and Bigby have been living together. Mowgli tells her that Bigby will need to leave with him, and she reluctantly and comely accepts that. The two of them then leave to head back to Fabletown.

    Wolves, Part 2 of 2

    Still a strong issue, but not quite as good as the previous one. Mowgli finds Bigby, and they have a conversation about the things Mowgli was sent to find him for. In a superhero comic, this would be where Mowgli would tell him he's leaving, Bigby would say he didn't think so, and even though they were friends they would start punching. Instead, what we get here is intelligent dialogue between two people who respect each other. Go figure. Heck even the "rebound" girlfriend is treated with respect. While I can't recommend this issue as a jump on book, if you have never read it. The first chapter of this story will serve you well. A good book all around.
