One of the more interesting aspects is that the Fables have a mortality determined by their popularity. Snow White, for example, since she's so popular among our culture, managed to survive a sniper's bullet to the skull!
Jack of the tales also became a Hollywood producer at one point, and produced a Jack trilogy, which made him incredibly famous, so that he wouldn't die.
This enhanced mortality also means that the Fables have been living for a pretty damn long time, and for us readers, it means that there's a wealth of stories to see about our favorite characters.
Like, for example, Bigby Wolf fighting Nazi Frankenstein:
Don't worry; Bigby totally wins.
Don't worry; Bigby totally wins.
Raaaarrrgghh! Scans courtesy of Fables vol. 5: The Mean Seasons. These scans are from only a peripheral storyarc, and the trade is really about the election for a new mayor and a major life change for Snow White.
Hint: they're fuzzy; they're cute, and they fly!
