Searched for a thread on this, didn't see it.
I'm feeling lazy tonight, so I'll let Wiki do my work for me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_(comic)
Fables is an ongoing
Vertigo comic book series created and written by
Bill Willingham, starting in 2002. The series deals with various characters from
fairy tales and
folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their
Homelands by a mysterious enemy known as
the Adversary.
They have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in
New York City known as
Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate
New York. It takes place in a
continuity of its own, and is unrelated to the larger
DC Comics continuity.
Willingham reinterpreted many of the characters, evident in the divorce of
Snow White and
Prince Charming due to his infidelity. The former is deputy mayor of Fabletown as the series begins.
Another principal character is the
Big Bad Wolf (calling himself "Bigby"), who has not only reformed, but gained the ability to take on human appearance, and serves as Fabletown's sheriff at the series' beginning.

This is a dynamite little comic, the first 4 or so archs are especially fun.
If you're not into traditional comics, this one may be worth checking out.
