Fables: March of the Wooden Soldiers (vol. 4) / Bill Willingham / 231 pgs / Fairy Tales Challenge

The evil empire known as "The Adversary" has found Fabletown and has begun their attack.  An army of Pinocchio-like wooden soldiers have descended on Fabletown and it is up to the residents to figure out how to destroy the puppets without destroying their town or letting the human world find out about them and the war.  The Fables are also wondering who made these puppets? and does this mean that Pinocchio's maker Gepetto is still alive? and is he working for the Adversary? 

Great artwork, snarky commentary, lots of action.  My only complaint is the Wooden Soldiers were annoying.  They are single minded so their comments are short and terse and just got on my nerves after awhile because of the repetitiveness of the dialog.
