Fables #157 wraps up the final adventure story of the Snow White and Bigby Wolf cubs with Winter escaping the world on the back of a turtle in ways that will unintentionally alter the small world forever (and bring a friend back with her). The issue then jumps forward in time, which feels a bit odd but does allow you to see how the various children have grown after their adventures.
Noticeably absent again is Peter Pan, the teased big bad. Although he isn't included, we do get the return of Cinderella working for the government to learn a little bit about Jack and what she was after and also help arrange her release from prison. Hopefully this puts Cindy on Pan's trail, although I'm not sure how the wolf clan will eventually be woven in here? Another fun issue, but with over half the story now told you feel things need to pick up in the next issue or two.
