#27 was the issue at the end of March of the Wooden Soldiers where Snow ran out and gave Bigby a hug. Not only did they portray Snow as meek, they portrayed Snow and Bigby's relationship this early on as being . . . well, schmoopy.

*sigh* They love each other. And as for need . . . I suppose you could say that Snow needs Bigby. But Bigby needs Snow just as much, if not more. They support each other, each makes the other stronger, makes them want to be a better person.
