Jack of Fables #28

Written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges
Art by Tony Akins and Jose Marzan Jr.


When this series started, I wasn't sure how Willingham and Sturges could find enough material to keep the book going, without it becoming too much like Fables. Now we're 28 issues in, and I don't see a quick ending to the myriad of plot-lines and potential stories that have been set up with this diverse supporting cast.

The battle between Revise and Bookburner looms, and Jack inserts himself as the military leader for Revise's imprisoned Fables community. Jack, of course, is still just trying to figure out how he can have 'special grownup time' with all three Page sisters at the same time.

The humour is what makes this book, and this issue is no different (even if Babe the Blue Ox is apparently suffering from a form of writer's block). The cover by Brian Bolland is brilliant - it matches the tone of the book perfectly.
